Digging for Gold

Today is the East/West Shrine game. 3pm on ESPN2. This is where our scouting team makes their money. 1st and 2nd round (though we haven't done so well in the 2nd round) players are usually no brainers but 3rd round and beyond is were championships are won. I think we have done well over the years with these picks.

Here are a few links to the game. This one has the rosters.

The second one has an article about prospects that are doing well in practice. Freddie Barnes WR Bowling Green I like the part about being able to seperate.

I am also going to watch John Skelton QB Fordham.

Interesting player 6'5" kinda like Joe Flacco.

Interesting comments from the week.

"Fordham's John Skelton, though struggling with accuracy, was the most physically impressive and threw with velocity the others couldn't."

"The more I watch Fordham quarterback John Skelton, the more I become a fan of his game. There’s no denying his physical skill -- he has the strongest arm down here by far, effortlessly spinning throws outside the numbers with impressive overall zip. However, the game finally looks to be slowing down a bit for him, as he seemed more comfortable during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills Wednesday and even led an impressive two-minute drill at the end of practice. He’s still a long way away and, like any strong-armed passer, he gets sloppy with his footwork and trusts his arm too much at times. But the fact that he’s made some strides this week makes me think there’s some significant long-term upside to his game."

These are the players we hope to find.

Go Panthers

ill be watching 2 WR's in this game and a few other players. Verran Tucker and Freddie Barnes. also, I couldnt help but notice, Sam Mills JR is coaching the ST for the east. couldnt he be the quality control-defense and coach special teams?

    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible. 
    • Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.   
    • Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
