In the wake of the events Columbus there are reports of five prospects, some of whom could peak the Carolina Panthers' interests should they choose to enter the supplemental draft, rather than wait and possible be suspended for an entire NCAA season. Remember that as the team with the worst record in 2010 Carolina would be awarded a player should they place an equal bid on him.

I'd be one to take a look at pryor in the fifth, incase newton goes down the offense wouldn't have to change very much for another mobile QB. But at the same time, he has value as an athlete and is much more athletic than newton. He could play wr or even tight end. Also WR DeVier Posey was projected as a 2-3 round talent. Both could be steals thanks to that awful ohio state disaster.

As raw a pryor is he was the number 1 player overall coming out of high school. some reguarded him as a lebron james type talent. Given the right coach and grooming he could become a nice trading chip for a cheap price. That kind of talent for a fifth or later round pick is to good to pass up.

whats the risk of drafting a talent like his with a fifth or later pick? No one is saying he even has to play QB. This team is in need of talent regaurdless of position. Jimmy is as good as gone. Grabing an athlete of this caliber who could have been a 2-3 round pick this season is to good to pass up. Yes we have cam and he is the future of the franchise but passing on a "athlete" with the potential to play the number of positions this kid can play would be a shame.

First of all I don't like Pryor from the way he handled the Ohio State situation. I think we can put our big boy pants on and say most big time football players at big time schools receive "benefits", but Pryor comes off as a jack ass to me. If we took Pryor it would make us even more of a laughing stock and whipping boy in the media.

Second he's not a position of need, we don't need another young quarterback we've got too many young QBs as is. I wouldn't mind taking that one 6'3 receiver they've got...couldn't hurt.

I would have rather drafted Tyrod than Pryor if I had to pick between the two....but with that said if we did draft him in the supplemental draft, that means next years pick would be taken away. So would you be comfy with knowing we drafted 4 kinda 5 QB's in the past 3 years? We would be the Lions of QB's if that happened.

First, you have absolutely no evidence that Jimmy is as good as gone.

Why would we release a 2nd round QB that was thrown into a horrible situation....just to draft ANOTHER questionable QB.

We would make the Cleveland Browns look like a brain trust if we pulled a moronic stunt like that.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.

      as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
