Note: This isn't for the Panthers but in general for the draft

 

I was looking to get a sense of what some of y'all are thinking about this QB class.  

 

The top of it is looking something like:

 

Teddy Bridgewater

 

*The Bortles

 

Tajh Boyd

 

Brett Hundley

 

Marcus Mariota

 

Aaron Murray

 

David Fales

 

Derek Carr

 

Johnny Manziel

 

So who do you like the most out of this class?  One thing is that's it's a helluva lot interesting than this past class.

 

I know Bridgewater will be the favorite and I gotta say the way he surveys, sits and steps up in the pocket is great but some of these other guys are really intriguing.  I'm a VT fan so have my reasons to hate Clemson but I gotta admit I like Tajh Boyd a lot.  Just like the way he plays.

interesting that you have Hogan so high. I really like him, but he struggled with pressure last night. Hogan isn't pressured much, so what I saw last night was a little concerning, but not enough to drop him out of my top five....

Mariota is way too low on your list. Second or third at the worst. 

 

It's not in order or anything.  

 

I'll admit I haven't seen a ton of Mariota so didn't know where to really place him.  From what I've seen, he has an incredibly high ceiling.

 

 

I'm thinking:

 

1. Bridgewater

2. Boyd

3. Hundley

4. Mariota

 

I wouldn't sleep on Stephen Morris in Miami.  Fales and Carr are solid.  Out of the Ms of the SEC in McCarron, Manziel, Murray, Mettenberger, I'm indifferent.

I think Hogan could be the best NFL prospect, long term, out of all of the QBs that could come out this year. The guy definitely has some issues that he needs to work on, but then you consider that he has only been a starter for somewhere around 20 games, and it's mind blowing to see the kind of ability that he has. He has the intangibles, he has the arm, and he even has the mobility that can allow him to escape (think Aaron Rodgers' style movement). I believe he is going to be a very, very good QB in the NFL.

 

But, I don't know if he comes out this year or not. If he waits a year, he could possibly be the #1 QB taken in the '15 Draft, vying for the spot with Winston. Another year in college could definitely do him some good, though. Allow him to work on the things that he needs to work on.

Mariota is number two on my list. I like Boyd at 3. 

 

I have a feeling everyone will be saying Mariota is the #2 or #3 guy by January. Funny that some were saying he wasn't in the top six two weeks ago. Mariota is looked at as just an athlete by many. But the strides he's made as a college QB since last year are pretty amazing, and that's coming from someone who detests all things Zeros football....

i agree i love Mariota's game.sat vs the Huskies, he made some big time throws on every level. had nice touch and zip when needed, and made some nice throws outside of the pocket and rolling out. i would like to see what he does from under the center, but considering how much he has improved as a qb, that could also be an easy transition. plus he has the speed and athleticism to escape the rush and break a 70 yarder run.

 

1. TeddyB

2. Mariota

3.Hundley/ Boyd

4. Mettenberger- huge vertical threat arm.

5. Manziel

Now I see why you're a Cam hater. I saw right through you on the previous thread. But it doesn't matter because you're probably a product of your environment. Hogan, best NFL prospect? The dude is not even on the radar. There were 26 scouts at the Louisville game to watch Bridgewater. At least you can be honest with yourself.

What does that have to do with why I think Cam is inconsistent...?

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
