Why do you want him?

1: You realize he is raw and has too much potential to pass up

2: You think he is polished and will translate seamlessly into the NFL

3: You think our team needs some excitement and he is an exciting player

4: He's a National Champ and Heisman winner

5: You think he will translate seamlessly to the NFL and has potential to change the position forever

6: We just need ANYONE at QB in the draft because we have the #1 overall pick

That's a bit of a strange response. It's just a question. I wanted to know why people want him. To each his own though

I was J/K I'm still pissed about not understanding your jersey question. I've researched and researched and I've found nothing.

Because our QBs are Clausen and Pike. Maybe Moore gets another chance to choke, underwhelm and disappoint, but we can't count on that until we actually get a Free Agency period.

Best FA options are Billy "the backup" Volek and McNabb's pale shadow.

I mean, we could take a shot at Newton or Gabbert and try to fix ourselves or I guess we could draft Peterson or Dareus and just wildcat all year and hope we don't drive Luck back to school. Again.

His upside.

He's athletic, got NFL QB size and weight, a strong arm.

Also his arm and his ability to throw the deep ball will fit perfectly into the system that Chud is bringing to the Panthers.

He's raw for sure, needs to work on his footwork and route timing and the things all rookie players need to work on. However, he's shown the ability to improve in a short amount of time and that leads me to believe that he has the work ethic to succeed in the NFL at the QB spot.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
