A year to early, Tepp, Fitt, Reich

I truly hope that karma and the football gods make me eat my words, but I said it before and it’s starting to look like the Panthers brain trust couldn’t hold their water and went all in for a QB a year to early.

 

Think about it, we could have had Jalen Carter or Christian Gonzalez in last years draft, and had our pick of this years crop of QB’s in the draft.

Would you rather have Bryce Young or…..?

Caleb Williams

Drake Maye

Bo Nix

Michael Penix

 Cameron Ward

Shedur Sanders

Jordan Travis

Dillon Gabriel

Jayden Daniels

………..

Gonna be a long cold winter until the panthers are competitive and in playoffs with a chance to get to big show.

You're only saying this because we drafted Bryce Young. We'd all be excited as hell about the future if we'd drafted CJ Stroud. Hell, even Richardson. We'd still be saying we probably should've drafted Stroud and we'd have serious concerns about Richardson's durability moving forward but he showed plenty to he excited about.

I don't have an issue with the decision to go all in to try to get a QB. It's rare that there are both #1 overall worthy QBs available AND the #1 overall pick is available. We just drafted the worst of the options.

I’ve only watched one Stroud game, Panthers vs Texans, and he looked just as terrible as Bryce the few times he had immediate pressure like Bryce has had to deal with on what feels like damn near every drop back all season. Richardson has the same injury that ended Cam’s arm. Imagining that either would be some panacea to this atrocious offense is absolutely ridiculous. If we drafted Stroud you would be talking about him as a bust in this offense.

He's had one bad game. Other than that he's rewriting rookie record books. He's handled pressure just fine in other games.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
