All qbs are game managers until they're not. And not many take the next step without quality around them 

I agree with that--and a good game manager understands that it is his job to get the ball to better athletes at the right time.   I would even say, "All great QBs are game managers first."  What then, is the special sauce that separates game manager from elite QB?   OC/play calling, weaponry, protection.  The General, the ammo, and the armor.

And there have been teams with average QBs and loaded rosters-mainly teams with great defenses--like the 85 Bears, for extreme example, that have won it all with a game manager--but it is much better to have an elite QB....

This draft will have some decent qbs who could become a good NFL starting QB--I think of Cousins being taken with RGIII in the same draft.  I think of Brady being drafted when the Pats had Bledsoe---I hope we go after a guy like Howard from Ohio State, Rourke from Indiana, or (and people might laugh at this, but he has the skills) Beck from Georgia. 

Yeah, Bryce is a game manager--that is all he was at Bama.

 

 

That is an ultimate indictment.  It's one thing to be a stud on dynasty college team full of blue chip talent driving up crazy stats, but to be just a facilitator and let the other guys eat says everything. 

The whole "point guard" thing sounded very strange to me at the time.  It makes sense now though.  Bryce is never going to be that guy to put the team on his back routinely.  His bread and butter is going to be like Bama, let the play makers eat and don't make any costly mistakes.

He hasn't converted me yet to believing he's the long term answer, but he's made huge strides in making me eat crow. 

I saw some pin-point throws today and over the last few games that have been really encouraging.

This is pretty much where I am.

Bryce has done a very good job the last couple months and he's earned the right to be in the conversation as the starting QB moving forward. That said, I still want another QB from the draft as well as a competitive option from FA.

Bryce is special. We are seeing all the things that made him a favorite as the #1 pick. He has sick anticipation. He has arm talent. This dude can def be a winner with a team built around him, just have to keep him healthy and put a team around him  

46 yards passing first half.   Yes the dude is special

      Off Season Thread

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      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.
