I'd say more like Stroud.    Physically and mechanically.   But between the ears I have no idea

I thought the world of Stroud so that’s a tough comp for me. Lawrence is in that 10-15 range of QB’s in the NFL imo. Has all the tools and you’re always wanting/waiting to see more. That’s kinda where Beck is right now for me.

Some high opinions of Beck here.. Lawrence? Stroud? He’s got Darnold written all over him. Lots of short, underneath passes; stares down receivers, air yardage of only 8.0 yards per pass which is under the national average…

I don’t see it with him.

Georgia will be good because of Etienne and their defense.

I’ve seen some compare him to Eli in excelling from the pocket and playing to his size. I want to see how he handles pressure.

The last 3/4s of 2023 he put on a master class.   If he can do that for a full year he is going #1 like a rocket.   His accuracy was ridiculous

I guess it all depends on your opinion of Lawrence

like I said he’s in that 10-15 range of QB’s for me. Similar tools. Arm, size, can escape and be mobile when needed

Mayfield had ridiculous accuracy in college as well. Beck has a lot to improve on before I change my mind on him.

Sure.  And like I said we have no idea what's between his ears.   Riding around in a 300000 car all things considered gives me pause.   But his tools set is impressive

I think Lawrence makes the jump into the top 10 this year. I really like what Pederson did with him this offseason.

Gave him free rein for the first few weeks of training camp to make whatever throws he wanted so he could see what works and what doesn’t. Then in preseason Lawrence lit it up. He got an idea of what throws he could get away with and what throws he can’t get away with. I think the interceptions come way down this year.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
