Don't worry, in the upcoming weeks you will soon hear the same about Bridgewater.

Next year it will be Winston and Hundley who "a times struggles to decipher complex defenses" and "need to prove they can command a huddle" and "not rely too much on athletic abilities" and "prove they are gym rats."

lol I heard on ESPN Manizel was the "the hardest working QB in college football this season" and "have no doubts he is worthy of the number one overall pick." And no it was not Bayless who said this.

Manziel is a beast...he should be #1, I think. I'd much rather have him as my teams QB than Bridgewater or fuging Blaine Gabbert 2.0 Blake Bortles.

Love Manziel the personality

 

Hate Manziel the player

 

He is garbage, will run around like a chicken with his head cut off until he gets decleated and decapitated by an NFL defender.

 

Much rather have Bridgewater, Jimmy G, Matthews, or hell even Bortles

ESPN is a hype machine, they did the same thing with The Golden Calf of Bristol. Heck I think Clausen got some of that treatment too.

 

Whatever sells...

After the Arizona game (and anytime Cam struggles) the pundits take to twitter about how his struggles are due to his "lack of understanding" or similar verbiage. Even a guy like RG3, who was hailed as not only super athletic, but a smart guy coming out of college had people question his intellect after ever bad play. However, I don't think there was a single inquiry into rather of not Pickles sucked because he just simply had no idea what was going on out there. Yeah, he has a noodle arm, and yeah, he was scurred, but did he ever go through his progressions? Did he ever audible to a better play? Did he ever look off a defender? Did anybody ever ask any of these questions?

 

i understand what you are talking about.. no one questions Matt Cassel or Stafford or Bradford about their ability to read defenses.. but RG3 or Kaep or Cam get that all the time.. Bridgewater is already getting it in the draft

 

if you hear it mentioned- it is just as if the speaker raising their hand and blurting "dont listen to me. i have no credibility"

The fact that only one person gets it speaks volumes about the Education system.

No I got it perfectly well, as I stated earlier no one cared about Jimmy Clausen because he sucked! and because of that no one cares about his ability to do anything! quit acting like you're the only one that can read, you're trying hard to make a point that isn't there.

First candidate for dumbest post of the year.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
