Hooker might be the pick there.

Those of you making fun of Levis...I think that is in very poor taste. I did not want the guy. Also think he is a weird dude (mayo...coffee). But he is a young man you has worked very hard. And it seems he has an agent who has not served him well. I feel for the guy. Hope the best for him.

Carter out of shape at his pro day. Not sure he has it.

Yep...need a QB that is feared. Not worried.

Good for Stroud (I hope...lol)

Look at that sea of people...standing for hours. UGH.

Yes, what a tear jerker. Very nice tribute.

Mods....you been warming up? How many have you gotten so far today?

BS for sure...Rogers said: People who know me, I’m fortunate to live in a beautiful house,” Rodgers said. “The only downside is I have very limited cell service. If you want to get ahold of me, I need to see your face. You have to FaceTime me So...if you have no signal...how do you face time???????

Just watched the national championship game highlights 2021....now I am nervous.

Just listened. How refreshing. No BS and someone who sounds sincere and competent. I am excited...this is by far the best staff this team has ever had.

Very nice pass. That was a helluva game. (I am from Tennessee )

So, where is the last long snapper we drafted these days?

There has been a lot of research and they continue to do more. I only quoted a few highlights. Long article. .....“I’ve got more [MBR] data on American football than anyone else on planet Earth,” he said, and that has forced him to reconsider one of the most fundamental principles of the field to which he has dedicated his life. “Five years ago, as a strength coach, I would’ve told you that as long as you’re gaining muscle mass, performance will increase. I don’t believe that anymore.” .... Holway measured all of the Exos prospects. Several had MBRs above 5.7, including a linebacker at 6.1. They had so much muscle on their skeletons that, Callaway said, it was as if they had put a 700-horsepower engine in a Ford Fiesta. “You watch them move, and you’re like, ‘They should be faster than that,’ ” Callaway said. “But the body doesn’t want all of the horsepower that the muscle can produce.” Callaway told a few prospects they had too much muscle on their frames; they could be unknowingly compensating for it and increasing their risk of injury. Many believed him because they felt sluggish at such heavy weights. But at the same time, it felt wrong to want to be smaller. .... The advent of MBR also has led Callaway to think differently about players he has trained who looked like superheroes but couldn’t perform like them. “[One year, a player’s] agent was always on me, like: ‘Why isn’t he faster? Look at him,’ ” Callaway said. “And I’m like: ‘I know. I’m doing the same thing with him that I’m doing with everybody else, and he’s not making the same improvements that everybody else is.’ But I guarantee you, if we went back and measured [him], he would have a small skeleton.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/04/26/nfl-draft-training/ Holway was working as a personal trainer when he attended a lecture on an obscure topic in his field: muscle-to-bone ratio, or MBR, which quantifies how much muscle mass a skeleton is carrying. To Holway, it sounded like a revelation. He realized the skeleton was the human chassis, and muscle mass — not body-fat percentage, the focus of many dietitians and their clients — would drive performance. MBR helps athletes determine their optimal muscle mass so they can reduce injury risk and reach their peak physiques. After the lecture, Holway learned how to calculate MBR. He used specialized tools to measure his clients — logging femur length, pelvic width and other metrics — then plugged 20-plus variables into an equation. His earliest measurements produced the same results he would replicate over the next two decades in thousands of elite athletes across many sports, including judo, soccer, weightlifting and boxing: In men, each pound of bone can support a maximum of about five pounds of muscle. In women, it’s slightly less. Basically, the body hits that five-to-one ratio, and after that it only adds fat, not muscle. Bigger doesn’t always mean better. ....... has helped spread belief in MBR to the unlikeliest of places: the NFL, where it could revolutionize player production, injury-risk mitigation and talent identification. .... they measured hundreds of football players around the country and made several discoveries. White players’ average maximum MBR (5.5) was lower than Black players’ (5.9). Typically, defensive linemen had the highest MBR (5.5) and wide receivers the lowest (4.9). One of their most important findings was that maximal didn’t necessarily mean optimal. Players with higher MBRs than their position’s normative range seemed to struggle more with soft-tissue injuries. “Nine times out of 10,” Wellman said, when he encounters a wide receiver with an MBR of 5.1 or higher, coaches tell him stories about how the player battled such injuries. “Guys that are 4.8, 4.9, there’s not as many stories,” he said. He paused. “I’m not ready to sit here in front of you and say, ‘Yes, when you get to this ratio, you’re going to be injured.’ I don’t know if we’ll ever say that. But I will say there’s too many anecdotes to ignore. And if we ignore this, I think we’re making a mistake.” Though there will always be intangibles in talent evaluation — character, intelligence, attitude, work ethic, football IQ — MBR could provide valuable insight about the body underpinning the player’s performance. For medical and strength staff, MBR could revolutionize training programs and injury-risk mitigation. For general managers, it could revolutionize the talent evaluation process. If a GM is scouting a dozen 6-foot-6 offensive tackles, MBR would tell him who could gain muscle and who is already maxed out, only able to add fat, which sometimes can help linemen but most often degrades performance. For cornerbacks, a GM might look at shoulder-to-hip ratio, which strongly relates to how fast a player can rotate his hips. Further study could shed light on some pressing questions. What percentage of NFL players are significantly above their position’s MBR normative range? If all of those players went down to a normal MBR, would the rate of soft-tissue injuries plummet? If they did, and the league got healthier — and perhaps even smaller — could a prospect’s skeleton become as important to his draft stock as his results at the combine? So far, Wellman said, about eight NFL teams have tried using MBR. In the coming months, Holway plans to meet with at least two more. In a league with players who have been growing larger for decades, how will a philosophy that sometimes contradicts that trend fit? It’s too early to tell. But if MBR is as big as Callaway and Wellman believe it to be, and if Holway’s methods continue to produce discoveries, then in a league with unparalleled parity, it could provide a winning edge. Hope the Panthers are on board...especially as they try to add to the frame of the likely new QB.

It will be interesting how the new staff evaluates him and if they think they can get more usage for him. Looking forward to that with a lot of players.

Was that his fault?

Josh Allen was an outlier.
