Historical average doesn't mean a whole lot when you're including really good QB drafts and we're faced with one of the worst QB classes of all time. Quick, what's the bust rate for the QBs taken in the 2007 draft...

LOL Seriously? How much do you want to bet that I can look through the history of the draft and do the same thing at almost every other position in football.

c/n dont draft anyone because guys at every position bust. AHHHHHH!

Calling this one of the worst QB drafts of all time is a very opinion based prediction that many would disagree with. Though I do agree that it is weak overall; we simply do not know. A lot of people were saying that last year and it doesn't look to be turning out that way.

Just saying historical averages aren't all that useful. You're not drafting the average of every single player taken at that position, just one guy. Grade the players available, how different players taken in previous years turned out doesn't really matter.

Ah I gotcha. In that case I agree 100%. Bottom line I hope that we pick up a QB but I'm trusting Riv to make the right decision. If he goes D then I will accept that there wasn't a QB worth gambling on.

But if we go D, that guy better go all Ben Rapelesburger on Luck when we meet him on the field. :D

best CB in the history of the game was only drafted #5 overall.. and if you're tellin me this dude is better than Neon.... you guys need to stop smoking whatever you're smoking.

oh and DTs are at least involved in every play that they're on the field for..

Problem is, there's not anyone the caliber of a Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders, or a Derrick Thomas ahead of Peterson in terms of sheer talent in this draft. Peterson is clearly the best player this year and IMO the only sure pick.

Tony Mandarich went #2 overall to the Packers that year, so it's not like passing up the CB for a "need" is foolproof either.

      I hope you understand that this Anti Bryce thing as you call it is really a pro Panthers thing. I think I can safely use we. We want the best for the Panthers.  As far as this other post saying ‘Anti’ Bryce people do misinformation.. you mean like going all in on “Renfro should have caught” that poorly thrown ball? I guess it was week 1. And calling it a drop. Comical btw.  I wonder, did you call that out or let it slide because it aligned with your agenda?

      These are great posts with the comparisons and the numbers.   I haven’t lookyat Smity’s numbers since probably the first time he was on the ballot.  But if you watched every week you know what he is. Whatever his yardage or targets numbers were.  He was fuging dominant. I have watched since the AFL days and seen who there is to see. There are many great WRs over the years. GREAT WRs. Smitty is up there in the game of football.

      Smith is clear cut HOF if you judge what he did by reception. Fitzgerald was a stat padder.    The most Steve Smith was ever targeted in his career was in 2005 (150 targets). The same year he wins the triple crown.    Larry Fitzgerald was targeted more than 150 times over 9 separate seasons. Not once eclipsing 1500 yards in a season.    The over glazing of Larry Fitzgerald going around is way over blown. ARZ was top 10 in passing attempts nearly his entire prime. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson had it far worse and would have surpassed his #s in the same situation.
