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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
