No thanks.

What if I told you he's being coached by Mike Shula

If the Panthers draft Sellers, it will be a disaster. He is a freak athlete, but he can’t read simple college defenses, much less NFL defenses. It will take a year or two for him to develop into an NFL QB. I’m afraid if he’s drafted by the Panthers he’ll be thrown in the fire on day one. 

Agree, sadly. He’s gonna need some time to sit and if the Panthers draft him he’s absolutely screwed out of the gate.

Show me the ability to read defenses and make good decisions...

Show me accurate passing...

Those two things are the price of admission. You don't even get in the discussion without them.

Take the pool of guys who qualify under those criteria as your base set and start evaluating everything else from there.

But if you don't have those two things right up front, it's a non-starter.

He’s actually nothing like Anthony Richardson, but I see where you were going with this.

He is a much more polished passer and can actually throw the football. The disclaimer is that he isn’t going to be a day 1 NFL starter.

So, Bryce Young?

...has the base qualifications to get him in the door.

But once you start looking at the other factors... concerns arise

I think the smart thing to do would to bring in a vet starter, and sit whatever rookie, regardless of who it is, and let him sit a year.

TBH, Nussmeier looks like the best of the group at this point.

This.

We’re not winning anything in the next 2-3 years anyway. Rebuild (again) and maybe by 2030 we’ll be ready to compete again.

Hmmm I heard that before about another freak we drafted

That's pretty much always been my preference.

His dad was a perennial backup, as I recall.

Liked what I saw of him in week one after a rough start.

The other thing I would add is the size and arm talent to play in the NFL. Without that the other things wont matter.
