saX man

And no offense taken, I know my circles, I know my cheesy gimmick, and I bring here what I will. Take it or leave it. And continue your thing, whatever that is

Nice. Thanks.

I mean that's just flat out wrong. All I'll tell you are people that make decisions in the league think otherwise. As much as people want to hype up Penix, Richardson, etc. who have a plethora of issues and simply aren't ready, you have a guy here with every physical trait you can ask for that's moldable. Could he be a Hackenberg? Sure, but it would be extremely shortsided to discount based off of Stanford's play as a team.

Mills is shorter, had ball placement issues, & is way jittery. Don't see the same traits. If we're saying white, tall and big arm Stanford QB = same, then sure.

Wait for real?

My guess is Richardson goes for the draft, both Daniels & Ward stay in school. Ward can boost his stock a ton with another season and make himself a lot more $$. If Wash St can put a defense together, they could contend.

How did I know this expected response would be from you? lol. kk

If we don't end up with Young or Stroud, I'd love a combo of McKee and then Ward later. Counter a high floor kid with a high upside one.

Nearing season's end, prospect talk is ramping up, I'm thinking this can venture out of the draft forum (Feel free to move if you'd like Rayzor/LG): Out of all the QB prospects, he's the one I see most set aside without a lot of consideration. Overall, I find Tanner McKee to be one of the more interesting prospects for a few reasons: TANNER MCKEE PROS Elite Size: 6'6 230 22 years old Estimated 4.65-4.7 40 time (note: This is unexpected bc he's a purely pocket QB...but can run if need be) Has an NFL arm -- the one thing to note, he has a funny Rivers-esque release. Prepare for this, the one glaring thing IMO. Footwork is top notch with near flawless technique most of the time--simply no real issues to be corrected here Understand progressions well & reads the field. Able to stand tall with his size and see everything Can make every type of throw -- Pure pro-style QB Cancer survivor (was 16 y/o), has been through a lot, decided to travel & do mission work post HS, seems like a charming guy with life experience He really reminds me of Carson Palmer meets Matt Ryan, but at 6'6 230 NEGATIVES Even though he has shown random elusive moments and has some agility, he is simply not a mobile guy. Really sticks to being a pocket QB. Has produced average results. Has led some decent wins but has never cranked out many at-will TDs or consistent wins for Stanford. Tough eval for intangibles because Stanford was such a bad squad but wish he showed more high-powered offense skills and some GWDs. Consistency in ball-security: He goes through stretches where he'll have an aggressive tight window throw where a better option was there. He has to slow down back and get back in rhythm. OTHER NOTABLES Brugler and a few other outlets/insiders claim he is high on boards, fringe 1st rounder (44th overall on DB's Big Board, QB4) "His touch, vision and accuracy remain among the best in this class. While he isn’t a rush threat and won’t create many second-chance plays, he is efficient in his drops/slides or when moving the pocket on sprint outs. On some plays, he looks like Matt Ryan, on others, like Mike Glennon. The truth likely falls somewhere in between those two quarterbacks.” So my question-- If his ceiling is a late 1st, could he actually be a trade-UP target if we land a top talent with our first pick? I also ask because Stroud & Young could be off the board, maybe even Levis. If rumors are right and McKee is in fact the next guy on a lot of team boards (Not Richardson or Penix), heck maybe QB3, is he a legit target for us? Is he a feasible QB that we're not talking about because of guys going through bloom years like Penix (that team's aren't really falling for)? I mean, let's say we somehow land Quinten, Addison or that ND TE, we suddenly have a pretty potent offense. Why not hand them one of the more ready guys, who's still young? All of these prospects have question marks (height, age, arm, douchiness, etc.) and honestly, he kind of appears to be the most well-rounded from what I'm seeing minus a goofy release. Whatsayyou??

Young (1), Stroud (5), and Levis (14). That's it for QBs. Biggest surprise: Tyree Wilson going #8. He's been projected elsewhere late 1-2.

Yessir! I would also recommend subscribing, you can get it for $2/month. It's great and Brugler has good intel. And the AFS is free anyways on Spotify, highly recommend. Robert Mays is a neighbor down the street here in Chi-town.

Seriously. You are fired in a highly publicized position, your former boss comes out and gives you a graceful goodbye (when he's shown to be much ruthless and different otherwise). How about just take that window and stfu? He's the worst.

So let's recap the excuses: Covid (every team dealt with it, own up), No good QBs came out, he wasn't our GM, process wasn't given time, Tepper changed the timeline, just stawwwp. I mean, he's on video, explaining why HE, HIMSELF, RHULE took pick after pick in year 1 and 2. Including the fun story about needing a RB and his wife liked Chuba's name. All right there on Panthers.com. The nerve of this ass.

"I give Scott a lot of credit but I deserve some of the credit" but "I wasn't the GM" in the same breath. The wild thing is that these are the same hosts absolutely (and appropriately) burning Zach Wilson at the stakes for not taking accountability, meanwhile, laughing away with this rambling, incoherent buffoon doing the same thing as a coach to his former employer out in the open. Multiple times, on multiple channels.

LMFAO at him on Eisen saying there wasn't anyone to take at QB. Umm who is QB for the best record in football? On why he didn't: Um, you're missing an MVP front runner Rhule, anyone ringing a bell?

His grandpa was a baseball umpire and his dad was in fact a founder of a Christian ministry so the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

It's like if the cops pulled the arsonist out of a burning house and he's interviewing with a TV crew taking credit for how great of an architectural marvel it was.

I love how the 7 year plan became a 6 year plan, then a 5 year, and now apparently a 4 year plan. THERE WAS NO PLAN

He's "not the GM" yet goes on to explain how his role was essentially a GM's role with player acquisitions and roster building within a 4-5 year plan. SMFH. Taking credit for the team right now really takes the cake, when he's also saying where the team ended up wasn't where he wanted it to be. I've always like Schraeger and Kyle Brandt but man, this infatuation they have with Rhule as New Yorkers has really brought them down.

These are softballs at the level Zach Wilson got. I mean, you really need to take a humble high road in public post-firing. He's claiming his method wasn't given time to unfold but at the same time wasn't a fit. He's just creating a bunch of conflicting, false excuses. He could easily just say it didn't work out. That's it, no excuses, it didn't work out, didn't compete at a high enough level, should have targeted a better offense. But noooo. He had it right all along and it wasn't given time lol. My ass. It's a simple thing that so many seem to struggle with these days--it's okay to admit something doesn't work, it doesn't make you look weak to acknowledge weakness or a mistake. That takes strength to own who you are and what you can improve on. This is like 3rd grade lessons so much of the world still begrudgingly refuses to learn from. He is pulling the same bs politicians rake over eyes of the vulnerable. Sh*thead

Can only laugh at him taking for credit how we've gotten better after he was fired. Is he for real? Essentially downplaying Wilks' abilities? Like seriously? And claiming he was setting us up for "the big trade"? Pray tell, who the heck were you targeting? Seems like this shmuck had ANOTHER bulsh*t vet trade target lol. And some comments on reddit and elsewhere keep saying, "he may have not worked out in the NFL but he's a good man, will succeed in college again". This does not equate to any level of goodness. He's not only a true definition of a loser (coaches losing teams and runs from accountability), but seems content burning NFL bridges and will probably just stay in college for the rest of his career. I'm unsure if Nebraska will even tolerate his BS for long. It may have worked at a Temple and a Briles-ruined Baylor program, but Nebraska? In that stadium? In a state where that's all that matters? I just don't see how so many in the media side of things and college ranks take this guy as a serious coach. He's a complete joke.

And I do know plenty of the upper ups on the retired front (per a certain paintball competition in Cabo for Turkey day) do all in fact acknowledge he is a dildo.

This shmuck has had his whole career gifted to him on a silver platter, daddy brought him up with no consequences in NYC, handheld him to State College, and he has the audacity to act like a complete imbecile now that he’s out with his new contract. He also still has an in with circles—-you’ll notice because he still gets such fluff on the networks. He’s such a f#cking loser and I don’t say things like that lightly. I really hope Nebraska chokes on a corn dog next year.

If I had to right now, really had to and show my cards on who I like... I'm guessing we end up around Pick 6-7. I'll take a more targeted approach rather than a straight up guess for each current pick: R1 - Jordan Addison/Quinten Johnson WR - Give me one of these bonafide studs. I want top talent, best possible offensive playmaker upgrades. Period. Possibly the TE, but Addison is going to be special. Think a blend of Stefon Diggs and Devonta Smith. Late R1 (Trade up) - Tanner McKee QB Stanford - Give this guy an OL and those type of WRs, I'm 100% interested. He actually has all the tools, is smart, young (22), NFL arm, has the size (6'6), enough agility in the pocket, and word is more than a few GMs and scouting teams are actually high on him, not an online boosted stock situation. Get him end of first with that option. See how he stacks up. Pro ready, pro style offense, pro style QB. R2-3 - Henry To'oTo'o LB Bama - Shiny new linebacker after we inevitably let Shaq go. R3-4 - Luke Schoonmaker TE - Need to take another gander at a TE. Thomas and Tremble have made progress but we need a. clear upgrade. Massive potential with this guy. R3-4ish - Cameron Ward QB - Go high upside on a double dip. He's like 20/21, treat it developmentally and see how he fairs vs. Corral. Sign a vet FA for insurance, I doubt we'd want to roll with 2 rooks and a 2nd year who's basically a rookie. R3-6 - Chase Brown RB - Plays through contact and has got the burners. Crazy good acceleration. Think Saquan meets Ekeler (style/type wise, not saying he's a star RB, but has the potential)

We're going to have tryouts
