I 100% wanted AR15 over BY.

 

*I also stated AR need at the very very least to sit a whole NFL season, I was 100% with that as well.

colts named him starter before Panthers did with BY..

he needed a red shirt and who knows then with the right leadership.  

He will never be able to make it as an NFL QB. Maybe if he played some special teams and could catch he could be a poor man's Taysom Hill but that is about the extent of his ceiling. More likely than not, he will probably be permanently out of the NFL in 3-4 years.

Just saying. They were similar prospects except that Allen was even more wildly inaccurate.

There are similarities between the two in terms of trying to develop a raw passer. Allen's best season in college was with 56% completion. But unfortunately for AR he was even more raw and has apparently been pretty full of himself thinking he already arrived. And also the coaches were too willing to use him as a runner. All in all another example of ultimately squandering talent. All too common in this league.

They threw him to the wolves.

He needed to sit a year and rework his footwork. 

I wanted to sit at #9 and take him if he fell (he obviously didn't) - I didn't envision him being so fragile.

Josh Allen was not nearly as bad as AR-15.  Josh wasn't the most accurate passer in college, but he wasn't nearly as scatter shot as Richardson.  To make things worse, Anthony came out as a RSO.  Really young, inexperienced AND major accuracy issues? Big red flags for me.

Allen was borderline unplayable in College. 

He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.

Ehhhh except a lot of it was his refusal in college not to play hero ball..... 

The two things he greatly improved at the NFL level were his accuracy on the run and learning he didn't have to take the deep shot every play.

 

That said when taking a massive boom or bust athlete at QB the most important thing is their work ethic/coachability/desire to improve

I suspect it has a lot more to do with him just not doing the work.

He should have stayed in college for a couple of more seasons.

Yeah, that's why I roll my eyes so hard when people throw out Allen with the Fields or AR situations. That is such an extreme outlier that there are few that rival them. One could certainly make an argument for Lamar Jackson(57% career passer in college) but I think some of that was scheme at Louisville.

I do also want to point out that people STILL believe in Justin Fields despite the unbelievable amount of evidence he is completely incapable of being more than a gimmick, run first, check down QB. 

It is flabbergasting the amount of chances some of these busts get. 

32 teams with only about 6 or 7 good QBs will do that. Desperation is an ugly thing. lol

Some of it was definitely scheme with Jackson like Allen he did a lot with his legs and when he did throw it was a lot of lower % passes.

 

Allen had zero talent around him and almost never threw passes with less than 15 air yards in college.... thats not gonna lead to a great %%

To be fair, some of those 30 yard passes were to receivers only 10 yards down field. LOL

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
