He had 2 things going against him from the jump. 1. He was drafted by Fitterer.  2. Rhule never wanted him in the first place.  As a bonus he wasn't very good to begin with. 

Fitt looked like fug this job when he had Tepper on one ear telling him to pull the trigger and Rhule on the other side getting all excited about playing GM on the phone making the trade up with the Patriots. Whole set up was a poo show

Kind of makes you wonder the level of entry to the NFL at certain positions. Maybe at QB it’s more muddled water. But it seems like if you were good in Highschool with some athletic talent and the ability to throw 60 yards and not be a moron in college you could potentially make 500k- 1 million until the league figured out you were a scrub.

I got poo on for saying that at the time. 

In fairness, your therapist may have had a point. 

Seriously, mental health is important and should probably be more of a measured ability when scouting a player.  Not to say, "That kid is crazy" but to put him through an emotional intelligence examination.  I used to use them on my freshmen college students when I taught the intro course called "{College Name} Journey"  We found that certain types of emotional maturity, sometimes tied to mental health, were predictors of success and failure.   Maybe something like that.

I think the overall point in all of this, if he got to even that point as a nfl qb prospect then you are already starting way behind the 8 ball with his development probably best to let another team try to figure that out.  Thats why I believe stroud had the season that he did.  He was mentally ready due to some major adversity that he handled well early in life.  MC had a history of acting out, sometimes violently sometimes with substances as a way to placate whatever was going on.  Same with guys like manziel etc.  The are not mentally mature enough to behave even as an adult and far far from a starting nfl qb

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
