LOL, thank you!

If Luck doesn't come out, then I'm of the opinion that we should try to trade down and get a high 2nd round pick back. It will be much easier to trade out of the 1st or 2nd overall pick this year with a rookie pay scale on the horizon.

but then the huddle will have to figure out what to do with jimmy...again!

It is starting to look more and more like Cowher and Carolina might join forces. I think it has been the plan all along, why Cowher waited and why JR did not re-sign Fox and cleaned house--defensively for the most part. He knew the coversion to the 3-4 would be expensive. Then his letter comes out the same week Cowher proclaims interest in the league when only 3-4 jobs are obvious? We drafted Eric Norwood--how does he fit the 4-3? We drafted a former QB turned WR hybrid. Slash II?

This will influence the draft. After nabbing a QB, the Panthers will use free agency to build the D and an OL. JR has given Cowher a lot of room under the cap to build the D he wants. This also suggests (possibly) that Cowher will be given the power to make personnel decisions. I cannot be sure that he has not already been involved.

This is pure speculation, not based on anything but loosely-constructed circumstantial evidence, if evidence at all. When Marino made a comment about Cowher and the Panthers and later apologized, it suggested that there may be more to this than anyone on the outside knows. Does it make sense to anyone else, or do you all think I am on drugs?

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
