Is anyone else on the Stephen McGee bandwagon??

I liked his toughness at A&M, although I admittedly watched more of Javorski Lane running people over..

He has a lot of potential though, especially considering where he'll be available in the draft.

:iagree:

Personally, I would love for John Fox to change his philosophy about QBs and look for a true bonafide starter at that position, especially considering Jake's age and contract. With that being said, if were to take a chance on a "raw" QB prospect in this upcoming draft, McGee would be a good pickup. Seems to have the intangibles and leadership skills to make it work. I get the feeling that if he can improve on his mechanics and footwork (thank goodness we FINALLY got a legitimate QB coach) that he may turn out to be something in a year or two. JMO

I didn't watch A&M at all this year, however, I have read in a couple of places that he is a QB that is not getting much attention, but is someone to watch. Apparently Texas A&M did not take advantage of his passing ability, so a lot of people do not know much about him. But from what I have read, he is showing that he has the necessary tools: plenty of arm strength to make all the throws, good accuracy, solid athleticism and escapability, and has done better taking snaps from center than many expected.

Like I said, this is not first hand since I have not seen him myself, but it seems he is making a good impression and may be a quality QB in the NFL with a year or two of development. But the question is, does he have more potrential than Moore?

Another question is, has Moore really showed so much promise that it isn't worth a late round flier on a possible diamond in the rough?

Don't get me wrong, I liked what I saw from Moore in his limited snaps.. but if we can make a low risk pick on an overlooked guy that has all the tools and a proven leader I say go for it..

Worst case scenario is we have our next late round pick practice squad qb

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
