all I'm saying is projected stats are meaningless. Vick had a great year. you can't compare Newton to Vick just because they're phenomenal athletes. Vick has been in the league nearly a decade, and just because he was out for a couple years doesn't mean he just forgets everything he learned before that.

and as for your comment on Kolb, I completely agree. Kolb is not a good quarterback and is the definition of "captain checkdown". if we gave up anything more than a 5th rounder for him I'll be very pissed. he is one of the most over hyped "trading chips" I've ever seen.

it's funny that people are still considering pike as somene we would have any interest in seeing what he has. he's a wasted pick. move on to someone with more potential.

it's not so bad that we wasted a 6th rounder on the guy...pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. it would be a shame to waste more time on him rather than pick up someone that has a bit more potential.

true that our coaching staff is going to have to work with young guys, but why not get him the best couple guys possible?

you say "people" when in reality there are probably only a handful of people that think he's anything more than a career backup.

people as in "some people" rather than "all people". that was pretty obvious.

still, why would we spend extra time and effort into someone like that?

Chris Leak

If Chris Leak were 6'6 instead of 5'11 he would be in the NFL. Great passer. Plus he didn't run a 4.5 40.

And although the SEC wasn't as strong as it has been in the past last year it was still the best conference in all of college football IMO.

eh every team has a backup guy they keep around. wouldn't surprise me if Pike is sent to the practice squad this year.

Now we're getting into more than just being a winner and playing in the SEC.

Also, if the SEC had to play anyone other than the Big 10 in bowl games it might shed some light on that conference.

but why keep someone around that doesn't have a real shot at being a starter? i just don't understand that logic.

screw trying to improve your backup and get someone in here who actually has a chance to start. pike is a waste of time. there are a lot of FAs that would be a whole lot more worth the effort and who could actually compete for the starting job.

you keep pike around hoping that he someday becomes a decent starter and you are only limiting the team.

get real long term competition in here. get the best of whatever scrap there is lying around and hope that one of them can turn into something good.

I totally agree with the second half of that post. Big Ten is always overrated.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Wow I can’t believe the panthers tried to trade up, failed, but still got the guy they wanted to trade up for. I wonder if anyone else has ever said that next you’ll tell me they had Hunter and Brazzell graded as first rounders.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option is a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The pattern it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  Probably should have been drafted day three anyway. The other was way over drafted.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.
