I did a quick search for a thread specifically about Pat White and didn't find anything, so I wanted to let it be known that I think we should target Pat White as the next QB for the Carolina Panthers after Jake leaves. At the least, he could be our project, and I think he will be well worth it. Over the last two years, I got to see a lot of Pat White, and I have always felt he IS a QB. I think now was the appropriate time to address this, especially after his Senior Bowl performance. That TD pass demonstrated some outstanding accuracy, and I've seen him do it in games before. That's why I've never understood why people said they felt he couldn't be a QB in the pros.

I did see someone posted a couple weeks ago that we were actually looking at Pat White and someone else in the Senior Bowl practices. So, that got me even more excited about the prospects of getting White - that we are actually looking at him. I know Jake is our QB, and he will be for the foreseeable future, but I think we should take a hard look at the future. Jake gives us our best chance to win despite the implosion against the Cards. If he can recover mentally from that, I think he will have a huge year next year. But, I think White is a guy we can bring in and develop as THE QB behind him yet, we could still utilize him at other positions until he's ready to takeover. In both aspects, I think he could make a HUGE contribution to our team. GET ON THE PAT WHITE BANDWAGON!

Well, I can't really say that I'm on the Pat White bandwagon, but he sure as hell impressed me when he beat my Heels in the tire bowl. I was worried about him beating us with his legs, but he was making NFL quality throws throughout that whole game.

The question is...can he do that consistently? You can't just go by one good game.

White is a pretty good QB, I don't think he has a cannon, but he makes decent decisions and yes, can run like the wind. He's better at passing than the average scrambler, and he's far far better than Travaris Jackson. We were looking at him at the senior bowl so if he falls some we could wind up getting him. Think about a guy like him, he has to be accounted for on each play. So you have our RB's, Smith, and him, it's going to be hard ona defense.

I approve of this message! :D

Although he will be a project for the first 3 years I think he can make it in the NFL. There are questions about his size 5'9"-6'1" and he does need to learn to read defensives better. He is a lefty but his max arm is about 40-50 yards. He also has some durabilty issues but if he bulks up I think it will help him.

He is the most poised QB I have seen in a long time. He hardly ever loses his temper and he has the swagger to lead a team. He is acurate most of the times and he can zing a ball in a small area.

I think he contribute in the wildcat formation the first couple of years and then in his third year he should be ready to play the whole game.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
