I will say this until draft day. I am very nervous about taking a 2 year starter with the no.1 overall pick.

Not saying that the pick is not the right one, but just saying that I would be nervous.

I read a great study about that, the failure rate is ridiculously high in high picks for QBs. However the since the Stafford draft a few have come out ok despite the lack of experience.

I would be wary as well, however I think it all depends on what kind of system the kids have gone through.

From looking at the highlights of both QBs, their delivery speed are about the same. (Of course my eye isn't the best in judging these kinds of things) Mallett definitely looks like the better pick just on arm strength alone. Now if Mallett had the "Bryan Leftwich wind up" throw, then that would be a different story.

Overall, if we have the number one overall pick next season, if there is a season next season:D , by default we would have to pick a QB with that pick. (The record would speak for itself that Clausen struggled all year, and the new coach would want to choose his guy)

Mallett is Jay Cutler V2.....will throw more interceptions than TD's.

I am not sold on Clausen even though the jury is still out on him, so if we get the chance to draft Stanford QB Andrew Luck i feel we would be foolish not to select him.

The odds are we will probably not be able to draft a QB rated as highly as Luck for some time,maybe never,so i suggest we take him with our # 1 pick if he's available.

With our available cap money we can obtain free agents,or else use our other picks to filll the glaring holes on the team.

Luck is legit as it gets. I watch the PAC-10 out here as well as the SEC, Big-10, etc. I'm not a Kiper or nfldraftscout or what have you, but that guy carves up offenses & changes plays just like Manning. I'm not saying he will be Manning in the pros, but he reminds me of him. That's good enough for me. Clausen or no Clausen, if he's there DRAFT HIM

I rember reading the same hype over

Tim Couch 6'4" Hesman Trophy winner The next best Q B coming out of college

or Ryan Leaf 6' 5" Hesiman finalist

man he will turn any N F L team around the next Joe Montano

or

Rick Mirer

Best Q B in Notre Dame history 6'3"

29-7 college record

41 TD 's in college

or

Joey Harrington 6'4"

25-3 record

A can't miss pro QB

Heck Panthers could do like the Lions did with WR

Panthers could draft a QB with first pick for next 3-4 years

Or

they could wait and develop what they have

Brett Favre

John Unitas

Steve Young

Aaron Rodgers

Tom Brady

Kurt Warner

Drew Brees

All were not instant "Stars "

This is such fuging brilliance, I can barely stand it! You people are fuging geniuses, all of you, fuging geniuses.

What the fug are you people thinking about? Have you all gone fuging retarded? Yes, just about all of you have.

Lets draft Luck #1!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So that way, the Panthers will once again have 3 inexperienced QB's on the roster. Because everyone knows that one of the things that is NOT killing this team right now is NOT having a veteran QB to help bring along our young guys. So lets just add another young QB. Especially one that has only been a two year starter in a suspect conference and will command a $60,000,000 payday before he steps foot on an NFL field.

I love it, just fuging love it. Great job guys you should use this thread in your resumes that you guys send out to NFL franchises hoping to become GM's.

the one area both owners and players agree on is a rookie salary cap so that is likely to be instituted, meaning he shouldn't command top dollar by today's standards

further, if you draft luck you probably cut ties with either pike or clausen depending on who shows what going further. you then bring in an older veteran with a lot of experience to help out, who knows and is okay with being a backup and a teaching sort.

You don't pass on Luck just because you're afraid of his paycheck or the possibility of lack of experience at the QB spot.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
