Where are you seeing he has a noodle arm?  I think you have him confused with another player??  You also compared him to Teddy which might be his polar opposite...

Ward doesn't have a noodle arm, but im still not sold on him being the #1 QB. I would like to see how he does in a weak ACC conference before I hand him best QB in the country.

I don't know if he is the best or not.  He is a fun prospect to watch.  Ward, Ewers, Beck, Allar, Moss, Nuss (LSU), and of course Sanders are ones to follow this season.  There may even be a few surprises along the way.  For the record, I don't think we draft one early this year.  I just like scouting QBs in college because it's such a tough position.

Turns 23 in May…old man by draft standards 

4 months older than Mahomes, 5 months older than Stroud when drafted, 3 month younger than Burrow and younger than Daniels ...he's useless.

Younger than Shedeur Sanders

Yep.  I mean, he's the standard age for a senior in college.  Juniors are 20/21, seniors are 21/22.  He's at the tail end of a typical senior.  Absolutely nothing "old" about him.  And yep, younger than Jayden.  

There's a walgreens receipt-long list of notable players drafted at an age older than Ward.  I mean, Eli, Palmer, Burrow, Kirk, Russ, Carr, Tannehill, Wentz, Penix, Pickett, Levis, Hooker, Bennett, the list goes on

It seems players who play more college ball benefit.

Same age as Josh Allen when drafted

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
