Lol, we all know what you’re getting at come on don’t be ridiculous. My contribution is that you are asking dumb questions to try to make a point about the only Heisman winning QB being debated for the #1 pick right now. Sorry you don’t like my contribution. Feel free to stop making dumb threads with dumb titles and thinly veiled agendas.

Or you know you could just keep scrolling like I said..nobody is making you click on the thread and type.

A lot of people are heroes on high school or college and never move beyond that. Some of them get trophies for it.

Some people see even greater success afterwards.

That's just how the world works and the trophies we've won become less important the further we go in life.

so what are you hoping to do here?

sit down and think about this....

do you really think it's important for us to all join you in your quest to crown CJ as king? 

did you actually know that 1) it's ok that people don't agree with you that stroud is the only option and 2) we don't actually decide who is drafted?

i get it...this is your passion...this is your reason for being at the moment, but do yourself a favor and give it a rest because you're really just wasting your time.

Kyler has found success...

Please show me. I agree cam and Lamar both have mvp's and Burrow has been the the superbowl. But Kyler...

He was over 100 TDs to 41 INTs with a completion % of 66.8 was OROTY and has already been to several Pro Bowls in 4 years.  16052 total yards and 107 TDs in 57 games. He also received a new contract after his rookie one.  I'm not saying he has lived up to his potential, but he was definitely shown success as a starting QB in the league.  Just look at how bad the NFC QBs are.

10. Johnny Manziel

7. Marcus Mariota

6. James Winston

5. Baker Mayfield

4. Kyle Murray

3. Joe Burrow

2. Lamar Jackson 

1. Cam Newton

While Newton, Jackson and Burrow have had some success a lot of these QB's leave a lot to be desired which leads to the question..why have so many heisman QB's not had success at the pro level? 

it's changed in the last few years. Prior to 2010, usually they don't pan out in the pros. Dorsey won a heisman, Vinny won a heisman, hell look at the running backs.

Heisman doesn't mean sh-t to me, especially since over the last several years it's tended to go to the more athletic quarterback types who are great in college but hit or miss in the NFL.

The thing with Young though is he's not the world's greatest athlete. He's smart, processes quickly, has good accuracy and is overall just what you would want in a quarterback.

The durability question is the only thing.

Pretty much the opposite

In reality Heisman trophy winning QBs probably have a higher % of turning into decent pros than the total population of QBs drafted. The generally accepted first round hit rate at QB (Pro Bowl level) is like 40% for first rounders, 12% for second rounders and less than 10% rounds 3- 7. The list provided shows like a minimum 40% hit rate (probably higher but I wouldn’t count them as hits) which is around the generally accepted hit rate of first round QBs. 

Heisman of course means nothing but just funny to think about how big of a crap shoot QB can be.

    • Curious what his price is, but definitely think we need to resign him. Hard to find a quality tackle - he's definitely improved and having a stable guard in lewis beside him has helped a ton. Still needs to work on the false start and holding penalties though 
    • Yeah, you want actual Panthers fans to succeed. Same with poor Will Levis a few years ago. You just wish the local ACTUAL Panthers fans(very rare in the first place), pan out.  But, alas, it is what it is. I don't know if it is as simple as having Ikey switch to RT immediately. I think the cleanest switch would have been to attempt that for him as a LG. But, we spent a fuging shitload of dough on our IOL.
    • Seriously? You think we might have 4 or even 5 starters the next couple years from last year’s draft? Wallace and Legette were starters because of injuries and no good depth. We’ve already resigned Thielen and drafted TMac. I’d be shocked if Legette isn’t WR4 (snap/target/production wise) behind those two and Coker. I’m not Sure if Wallace will stay a starter with Rozeboom. Smith-Wade might be the likeliest starter for now because we didn’t draft a CB. We’ll see if he sticks. Sanders may also start but the starting TE is like being the tallest midget. We’ve had about 500ish receiving yards from TEs each of the past 3 years whether it was Thomas/Tremble or Tremble/Hurst or Tremble/Sanders. Honestly, if Evans can stay healthy, the fact that he can actually block (unlike Thomas who sucked but was called a blocking TE) and catch could make him the best starter we have at TE. Also, Brooks missing two of four rookie contract seasons and caused us to draft Etienne in the 4th and sign Dowdle. Sorry man, you’re smoking some serious hopium trying to justify last year’s draft as if it was good. We are one of the worst talented teams in the NFL over the past 7 seasons and sometimes that means that we get a lot of rookie contributors but it doesn’t mean it was a good draft. Until the rookies are actually above average starters it’s like going from Thomas to Tremble to Sanders to Evans. There’s no impact to our win total until one of them actually is more than just a starter because we have to play someone. One last nugget, we won’t be a playoff team if 25% of our starters are from the 2024 draft.
