Hence the rarely part. Joe Burrow by all accounts is a scouting anomaly and also had one of the best college football seasons of all time. 

You mean like the 0 star QB who had to start his career at Incarnate Word and is on pace to win the Heisman?

Who knows what crazy numbers Ward puts up if his team can advance in the Playoffs. He already has over 3k passing yards and 29 TDs.

I'm 100% in on Ward. He's cool, swagged, and collected on the field like Burrow, and is big and has obvious arm talent. Love his release too, very Matt Stafford-like. I don't think we are winning again, we only have one chance to win again this season and that's against the Giants next week.

HUH? Joe Burrow was a four start recruit who went to Ohio st. You're reaching here

We need a new QB. We shouldn't pick one in this draft before the third or fourth round.

It's not about the QB position at all.

It's about building a team. We need to concentrate on defense right now, nowhere else. We need the best D-lineman and/or the best MLB in the first round. Players who can impact every single play of the game. DB would be great, but it's a luxury that we can't afford in the first round. We've got to grab the best first or second level defender available to us, perhaps trade back in to the first for a second dip.

At QB, we just need to grab a journeyman vet out there and roll into next season with the intention of building a strong defense under a new defensive coordinator. Build the defense well and it will give a young QB more chances.

 

What makes your think when we have another chance to pick a new young QB they are going to be any good? We just had to pick between Bryce, Stroud, Richardson, and Levis. The year before the first QB was Pickett. It’s always next years QB class until it’s not. You can’t be big brain about QB selections. If you think a guy is Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow or Allen, you take them. 
 

Cam Ward, to me, has very few flaws. He could be 2 inches taller and on occasion throws some of the worst picks you’ve ever saw….But it’s because he’s the anti Bryce, the dude really believes he can make the throw. When he doesn’t, he immediately thinks he can make it the next time. No sulking, no dropping his arms. No kid poo.

I feel like Cam Ward is kind of the anti-Bryce Young. Not highly recruited, has the traditional physical traits/arm strength, but isn't as "NFL ready" on paper.

But we've seen how what's on paper doesn't always translate to the field.

Listening to him speak and you get a feeling he's very much the opposite of Bryce. Almost a "chip on his shoulder" mentality. I've seen videos of him poo talking shedeur to his face during a throw around. Crazy competitive, it reminds me Smitty and Thomas Davis.

I'm clearly stating that Ward is a scouting anomaly.

He's on pace with Burrow right now and, as much as it pains me to say it, he doesn't have the supporting cast Burrow did.

I like Ward, but he makes some completely stupid decisions sometimes. The throw backwards yesterday against Duke was ridiculous. 

He threw one like that against Cal too - just one of those "what in the actual fug are you thinking?" throws. 

He then throws a dart to Restrepo on the goalline where the CB is playing a trap coverage, but the ball is out so quickly that the CB can't get there to make a play on it.

I've learned to live and die by his gunslinger attitude.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
