Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

I like that fact that Ward has had to work to move himself into consideration for the NFL and hasn't been handed the superstar Mantle from the start.  And his ability to remain calm when things aren't going well.  He barely even threw the ball in high school.  That suggest he has room to grow and learn.   And he will need it as after watching him play, he still has a lot to learn.  Makes ill advised throws at times and tends to hold the ball too long. Hard to say if he will make it in the NFL, but I feel he has the same chance as any of the others in the draft.

Haven't had time to pay attention to college ball the last couple weeks but seems like all the mock drafts have Sanders, Hunter, and Ward in the top 5 and then kinda mixed bag after that. I like that Ward is a playmaker with a little Favre style in him, seems real comfortable leading the huddle. Very different vibe from the soft stuff we've dealt with the last couple years. I believe he would no doubt beat out BY in a camp battle for what it's worth

Yeah we need a QB with this mindset. We have to change the whole culture here and that would be a great start. Whoever it is needs to be a leader and someone who pushes his teammates to be better.

In a trade down scenario or in the second round yes. But as a top 3 pick? He doesn't look like that to me. I'm not saying he won't be a good QB but if you have a top 3 pick you have to take a difference maker unless you are trading out of the spot

Reading through this thread is like watching broke high school kids scoff at Ferraris because they like Lamborghinis while they're actually driving a clapped out Honda Civic.

I see your point but over-drafting and reaching at positions of need has landed us where we are today amongst other terrible decisions

No, trading 5 premium players for an all-time bust has landed us where we are today.

That and just generally poor drafting.

Ward is a solid prospect but Sanders is quite obviously going to be the best combination of polished and skilled.

I really don't think this is a strong QB class, however.

Meh, I think Sanders gets a lot of attention due to his last name.  As to how good he really is, we will see.  He had better learn how to get rid of the ball faster or his NFL career will be a short one.  

Predictions about qb classes get it wrong as often as they get it right.  2021 was a very hyped qb class, and it might be the most over hyped class in a long time.

Sanders is a ridiculous passer even if you have to deal with the father.  I think he goes number 1.

Ward is an impressive playmaker but he has a lot of things to clean up and makes some bad decisions IMO.  He will turn it over a lot if he doesn’t fix that

Josh Allen turns it over a lot, too. Who among us wouldn't take him at QB in a heartbeat?

Totally different player, totally different situation.  Not even a decent comparison.  And no you don’t go looking for guys that are turnover prone.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
