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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
