When you need to find an answer to beat the Bengals, putting Joe Brady on staff makes sense. As for Ken Dorsey, he developed Cam into a playoff QB and MVP. Then he developed Josh Allen. McDermott and Beane know what they're doing. The Panthers letting the real coaching/management talent slip away while holding onto the mistakes has been the problem.

Washington Red Hogs would have been the big seller

Heard the Jets and Lions are pooing the bed with their practices and drills. QBs are being rolled up on and both Ridder and Pickett may drop from the game if it continues.

Thanks for the video/posts! Seeing underthrown balls by Ridder, Strong, and Pickett. Carson Strong looked like Carson Struggle. Howell gets a write up about being the best and consistent. Video shows him missing badly on a 5 yard hitch. Willis throws a deep fade and his receiver has to redirect 5 yards into the field. Where are these great throws? I'm seeing receivers having to deal with a lot of poo throws from these QBs. Didn't see one receiver hit in stride. They all had to adjust to the passes. I want to see good throws, and these QBs should have been in training with pros and getting better than what they were during the season. Show me video of them wowing. I want a 10 year franchise QB. Not another Sam Darnold. I saw a lot of disappointment and players I don't want on the Panthers. Plus to receivers adjusting on those throws. Can't really assess them with those poor throws. A couple receivers were good with release and seperation. I was impressed by a couple DBs. A lot of improvement needed by game time. Media wanting to write copy and ship it. Sensationalizing their reports. Need to see championship quality if you want to go in the first round.

Caption in video saids "Trevor Penning destroys someone" ... yea his own QB. Sacked by throwing the defender into the QB. LOL. Hard pass on that guy.

So, how much money did they spend on finding that name? lol

Amazed they didn't go with the Washington Snyders

Was Washington Sentinels or Washington Lumbermen from Any Given Sunday? Let's go Lumbermen!!! Chop that wood!!!

They' call this a catch from Burrow to Chase They'll flag Von Miller for this when he launches to headbutt Burrow in the helmet They'll flag this when Von Miller strips Burrow and bats the ball back to the endzone

The 1997 draft. All that talk about Jim Druckenmiller and Jake Plummer. And the best QB in that draft was Jake. Jake Delhomme. Undrafted.

Pickett has an amazing pass over the middle and to the right of the field. His double jointed fingers allow him more grip and spin on the ball. His pass to the left sideline has more wobble, float, and is typically underthrown. When he throws downfield on the left sideline Pitt rolled him out to the sideline and then had him square up his shoulders. Defenses would just pressure him from the right side forcing him to throw left. When he went left he would run most of the time and not go through progressions. His INTs are mainly when he throws left. Then there is the fumble issue when he gets hit, and the way he has to slam the ball into his hand when he pulls his throw down. You can hear him smack the ball. Has no grip to pull the ball down with one hand. A team is getting a good QB for 2/3rds of the field. So, the offense will have 1/3rd of their playbook limited with Pickett under center. The CB he faces on his left side can take the day off and safeties can swing coverage to Pickett's right. I'm not expecting him to throw down the left sideline at all in the Senior Bowl.

He's also been compared to an athletic version of Phillip Rivers. Glass is “best HBCU quarterback in the entire draft.” - NFL Draft Diamonds owner Damond Talbot “Aqeel Glass is a more athletic Philip Rivers, with great decision making,” said Talbot. “The AAMU star can make every NFL throw, he has a deep ball and can throw a rocket of a pass across the middle. Glass is a big kid that is hard to bring down and he has some deep threats on his team. This year I expect Glass to have a solid year and end up at an All-Star Game. He may be the best HBCU quarterback in the entire draft.”

Rhule can't even find leaders and establish a championship culture. Until he puts 6 more leaders on this team to go with Shaq, CMC, and Chinn, and has the players talking championship, I have nothing to compliment him on.

Rhule has bigger hands than Pickett lol

Measure that hand fool! Not like the interwebs can't figure it out, Size 8 glove. Medium. Hand size 8 1/8" Mystery solved. Just found a Pitt equipment manager and asked them. lol Kenny is a palm thrower. No pocket of air under the ball. Mahomes palm throws the ball too, but it is well known that goes against what coaches want and Mahomes is unorthodox with this shortstop training.

I'm expecting Jordan Addison and Gavin Bartholomew to make the next Pitt QB look really good too. Even a freshman QB. A sophomore WR and freshman TE opened up everything for Pickett to go from 13 TD ordinary to 42 TD amazing. I don't want Pickett, but I have no doubt I will want Addison and Bartholomew when they enter the draft.

Rhule's going to hang his hat on that one!

Not my personal rankings. I don't want Garbers. He isn't on my personal list. For some reason, there are GMs who have their eye on him. Then again we see teams take QBs like Garbers in every draft. Look at Mills from last year.

I propose a team plans with the current CBA in mind, and awareness of how many 5 and 10 year players come out of a given draft. In 1995, the Panthers had to take that approach as most teams did because of the impact of free agency. Now, you not only have free agency, but teams can't lock up rookies to 6 or 7 year contracts like they did before 2011. Then you factor in players leaving earlier due to wear and tear/injuries. So, you can't slowly build a team in the NFL. Windows close quickly in the NFL now. Each draft produces 20 players with 5+ years of production, and 2 to 5 players with 10+ years of production. This is why there is more difficulty to sustain success than win a SB, and little to no time to develop players. A coach is worthless if they don't have a 2 to 3 year plan to be a contender. Success will never come to a team that thinks they can slow build with the way the NFL is set up.

Big boards are all over the place with QBs this year, and some are out of date. Some have Pickett as #4 pre Glass. Some have Willis at 1 and then another has Willis at 6. Carson Strong is 6 on some big boards without Glass on the list. Some have Howell and Ridder at the top. Some have Howell and Ridder around 5 and 6. I've seen Corral anywhere from 1 to 4. So, Corral being so low on interest around Charlotte would make me believe the boards have him rated too high and he is going to slip in the draft unless a team falls in love with him. New Orleans, Tennessee, and maybe Atlanta are the only teams I have with high interest in Corral. Corral has low interest everywhere else. Not every team will have the same interest in a given QB. These numbers are not my personal rankings or any big boards rankings. I'm sure they will change a month from now with further evaluation.

No to Pickett. Looks like he may be falling out of the 1st round. Here are the QBs ranked by the interest coming out of Charlotte. 1. Malik Willis 2. Sam Howell 3. Desmond Ridder 4. Aqeel Glass 5. Kenny Pickett 6. Chase Garbers 7. Carson Strong 8. Bailey Zappe 9. Matt Corral 10. Cole Kelley One of these QBs is catching fire among front offices. In the past 3 months, he went from undrafted, to a 6-7 round pick, to a 3-5 round pick, and now there may be a few teams willing to take him late in the second round. First round hype for QBs in 2022 is stale. I am excited to see how this large pack of QBs will fair from the 2nd to 6th round. None of these QBs are worth a top 15 pick.

Does Rhule have his offensive and defensive core/leaders in place to build around? No. Burrow, Boyd, Bell, Bates, Hubbard, Mixon, Chase, Williams, and Hendrickson are the foundation of that team. Mixon, Boyd, Bates, and Hubbard were in place year 1. Added Williams year 1. Added Burrow and Bell in year 2. Added Chase and Hendrickson in year 3. All of them have a high level of leadership ability that was apparent in college. The former leaders were wedged into those roles and played the hero too much. They were removed. Rhule had Thompson, Burns, McCaffrey when he arrived year 1. He added Chinn and Bridgewater year 1. Rhule dumped Bridgewater when Bridgewater stood up for his teams preparation. Bridgewater out. He added Darnold in year 2. Burns is a hero and not a leader. Darnold was also forced into a leader role. On top of that, the foundation and leadership was so thin Rhule had Jackson, Paradis, and Moton wedged into leadership roles. Darnold, Burns, Jackson, Paradis, and Moton were not top leaders in college. They followed leaders or their coaches in the NFL. Rhule has assembled a core of soldiers and yes men. The need for leadership in this organization was never more apparent than Cam Newton in his return. The team needed that, and Rhule made sure to crush it when he was outshined by a player. So, going into year 3 Rhule has Thompson, Chinn, and McCaffrey as the only championship level leadership. That is too thin to build a playoff team on. You think Rhule can park his ego and find 6 NFL leaders this offseason that everyone will mesh with and give the Panthers a fighting chance at the playoffs? It's difficult enough to find 2 leaders to add to the puzzle in one season once the foundation and culture has been set. Can't go any further with a team no matter how many hero players you have if the foundation and culture has not been set. Or worse, has been set, fractured, and needs to be reset.

If you can't set the foundation to compete in 2 years, you have the wrong coach/gm. Year 1 is coach/gm pairing and finding the core leaders. Year 2 is surrounding them with complimentary talent. Year 3 is being in the contender talk. When you trip up, you start all over again. When you succeed, you can tackle the more difficult task of a decade of success. If you go with a plan that is close to a decade, you will miss every window you have with the talent the team has managed to attain. Thought most would have to realize that after the Gettleman experience of so many missed windows and a waste of talent.

Sustaining success comes after you win a championship, and it is much more difficult to attain than a SB victory.

So much for Jimmy G managing the game. Pressure in big games shows if a QB can consistently win the big games. Jimmy G blinks first. Stafford survives.
