University of Cincinnati quarterback Tony Pike has conducted three private workouts, according to a source close to the program.

Pike has worked out for the following NFL teams so far, the Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots.

The 6-foot-6, 223-pounder has been projected anywhere from the second round to the fourth round.

Pike ranked 12th in the nation lat season with a 149.8 quarterback rating, including 10 consecutive games with at least two touchdown passes.

Could be worse. (Tim)

That dude is pretty f**king big for a QB.

More:

"Carolina presents another good opportunity for Pike but one he might not be ready for. Jake Delhomme is gone, and the assumed starter going into camp is Matt Moore, who has seen action in sixteen games over two seasons. He had a strong half season in 2009 after replacing Delhomme but could be dethroned by the likes of Pike. If Pike wants a team to start for as a rookie, the Panthers present the best shot out of the teams he has worked out for. And if not that, he only has Josh McCown and Hunter Cantwell to battle for the backup spot."

I agree with his point.

so that teams think we are drafting a QB in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th rounds... duh... What the f**k are we going to do with a developmental QB this year or next? Moreso, what the f**k is John Fox going to do with a developmental QB when he has to win now? We will not see a QB in the 2nd, or 3rd rounds, and the 4th round would be pointless to get a QB unless someone like Pike actually does fall that far.

Here is how our draft will proceed:

Second round: Trade up if good talent at either DE, DT, or Wide Reciever is available/ If we keep our current pick we will take the best talent available out of those three positions

Third Round: Take one other of the two we just skipped out on

Fourth: Look for a good qb that has fallen if not take best talent available at almost any position- includes linebacker and corner back- also about this time we are looking for a return man

sixth and seventh rounds- best talent available

The Panthers like to have a game-plan going in, but as we have seen before they like to build their whole team through the draft and that means sacrificing picks on talent for positions that aren't necessarily needed

He's basically Chad Pennington/Kyle Orton right now. Accurate as hell, but is the definition of 'noodle arm'.

I don't know that we'll use our later round picks for him. We have our starter, and Pike isn't going to provide an immediate impact so it's just a waste of a pick when Fox is in a win or get fired season. I'd much rather use our later round picks to try and get a kicker such as Tiffin(who is projected to be a 5th/6th rounder) to develop this year to replace Kasay.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
