Richardson was my guy but I always thought he'd require a coach that could reign in his wanting to run and build an offense around him. Frank was never going to be that guy. Stroud was my 2, and

Bryce wasn't even in the 1st 3 rounds.

There hasn't been a long term successful QB that size in 60 years.

There's a reason. I don't care how big his brain is, if he didn't play at Bama and have all the S2 hype, he would have been a day 3 pick. 

I could have accepted a gamble on Bryce in the late first but I agree. I mean I wouldn’t have been happy but that is about as high as I could understand given the risk. He was just off of my board if he was going so high. 

Flutie was the closest I can think of size wise and he had a real good arm if I recall. I’m not going to look for Flutie highlights. But he was very close to Young in height and weight.

My thing is we are in a different era and speed is more a part of the game than ever, and certainly 20 years ago which was about Flutie’s last season when he was pretty much done even as a backup.

He was the closest to being something that I can remember. And he sort of was, but that was 25-30 years ago. I’m real skeptical of that translating to modern day.

Interviews and S2 clearly have no indicators for success, it’s a sport where athletic ability is 95% of the requirement. Bruce may have aced the “pattern recognition” part of the test but when you’re 5’9 and can’t see the whole field you can’t even see the patterns to be able to recognize them.  These GMs and scouts are way too over-analytical, you always go with the better athlete unless there’s a serious attitude problem

Interviews are super important, especially the whiteboard work.

You played football in college did you....? Well hell, I'm going to bake you a congratulatory cake when I'm able to!  I know someone else on here who did as well and then played a little arena ball in AF1 back when it was actually worth a poo and you could make an honest livable wage. They played D1 at an SEC school (they werent great but won two back to back Carquest Bowls. Not the most prestigious of bowls but decent memories either way) but they dont claim to know it all just because they did mr. college football player. Gosh, I wish I knew someone else on here who played college ball if its that impressive. I guess some don't feel they have to brag, I don't know? Those two a days in SC summers were probably rough weren't they. How on earth did you get through them?

Actually my Conan condescending spill wasn't really funny so I agree with you but what was funny is you getting all upset and pissing your underoos wanting to fight a guy for calling you a dummy on a message board! Now that poo was funny mr college football! I didn't call you dummy so please don't whoop my ass mr college football.

Lol are you ok? Why you so mad? Never claimed to know to all. I simply said myself and others in this thread couldve drafted better than Fitterer and Morgan which could’ve easily been done. Also said XL wasn’t a good pick which is a fair opinion, especially with his current camp performance. Hell, I could’ve literally drafted from Mel Kipers best available with no research and the Panthers would’ve been better off.  Your passive aggressiveness and condescending tone is ridiculous. Also by reading some of your other posts you seem like a very troubled person but the way you speak to others.  I’m done talking to you. Peace. ✌

It's not even that they're long shots.  They're almost always older "raw" prospects.  I don't even normally see them as potential high ceiling guys.  People comparing him to Metcalf like it's a given but he's shorter, has much shorter arms, and small hands.  It's like we draft old "raw" guys but still draft for high floor instead of ceiling.

so much this. Raw young players have (potentially) high ceilings. Old raw players? Not so much

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I can see Cooper being a target. Wouldn’t be bent out of shape but obviously not a preference if we’re talking position picked — but I’m just looking for impact. And man, this draft class is an odd bunch in our range. Has these really talented hybrid Slot/Safeties, McDonald (but I think I liked Tyleik more the other year), Faulk (huge work in progress), Saddiq (TE in R1?), and some interesting but wildly different profiling OTs. Our biggest needs: ILB, 3-4 DE, S/Slot (à la Branch), OT, WR, and TE The WRs here would be a notable impact add.  I personally don’t have a position I am pining for. I see Thieneman, Cooper, McDonald, and McNeil-Warren as my faves right now but it could change.  Iheanachor is a sleeper at OT over Proctor, Miller and others. A big eye-of-the-beholder year. It would take a major reach for me to be ticked with the pick bc there’s just too big a range of players, positions and types this draft. Unpopular: Honestly, I kind of love the idea of just trading up for Styles if he slips to 8/9. It’s not a year where capital is going to be lofty.

      Panthers Top 30 Visits and Draft Tracker

      By strato · Posted

      I have wanted to do that since I first looked at the draft order and the crop of players.  A lot of it is, just not that impressed with the selection we are likely to have at 19. And then when I learned how good some of these ILBs are I never bought that we could sit at 51 and get one. So trading back helps us have a chance to move up for one of those guys.

      Kenny Moore on the trading block?

      I would pass, dude is 30 and would require using a draft pick to get.  Maybe if we were in season and having a better year than expected and see the need for a CB, but right now no.
