Doc Holiday

That was my biggest take away too, but I don’t think him or Hendon Hooker are gonna make it out of round 2

I said it before and I’ll say it again, I think all the Levis and Stroud stuff was from the Colts, they put a lot of BS out there to try and get CJ to Drop past the Texans. Didn’t work and funny to see a team actively try to tank a players stock before the draft.

I hear ya, but I’m also convinced the stuff surrounding Levis and Stroud is teams lying, talking Levis up and Stroud down.

Just bumping this because I just want to remind everyone where we really are sitting in the predraft discussion. Told y’all two weeks ago that pretty much everything you’re hearing or would hear is a lie. I still stand by that, I will say though it does sound like we are drafting Young, but that’s about the only thing I’d put any weight to at this point. the CJ Stroud stuff is 100% a team lying it’s butt off putting a lot of false info out there about him to get him to fall in the draft. My money would the Colts trying to put enough doubt out there for him to fall past the Texans.

Meh, this really isn’t news, and while this sounds good it’s a new tests and hardly indicative of future success. it looks like it’s gonna be Young and I’m trying to warm myself up to a “fun size” QB, like I said before if Young was 3 inches taller and 20lbs heavier he would be my no doubt #1. But his size has me seriously concerned about his longevity in the league.

Just figured I’d share this bit if info, long time off-season guru huddle vet here. This happens every year before the draft, just assume everyone is lying, because they probably are. recent example of this is the “Stroud isn’t coachable” narrative that just came out. Willing to bet my pay check this is some team trying to get him to fall if Carolina doesn’t pick him. The lie zone usually starts at the combine, and progressively increases till the draft. It’s peaking right now with it being right at 2 weeks out. believe nothing you hear, and nothing happens till it happens.

I wish we just had one more season of tape on AR. I ain’t gonna lie dudes built like a beast. But you don’t draft projects 1 overall.

Like I said before, and I will say it again. If he is was at least 3 inches taller and 20lbs heavier I’d be all for it. But something tells me the reason he wouldn’t weigh in today was because he was under 200lbs. size is a legitimate concern.

He had a segment on the NFL draft and QB prospects a couple weeks ago that I thought was 100% on point. he then usually follows up segments like that with some stupid hot take which I get that killing credibility with some.

So, he’s full of crap at times, but at others he’s one of the more insightful people on the radio as far as big picture stuff go.

I’d do it if we got Rodgers for nothing, and still drafted Stroud/Young with the first. Word is the jets are only offering a 2nd and a conditional 3rd net year at the moment.

Guardian down! Rip

I've said the entire time that yes, Young is the better player between him and Stroud, but Youngs size makes me nervous. There is nothing that makes me nervous about Stroud. And thats why Stroud is the better pick to me.

It’s hard unless you’re about the money and you look at their tax rate

If Josh McCown wasn’t our QB coach I’d be a lot more concerned about this. Literally who could we have better than McCown for this job?

Last years QB’s were garbage, it was said as much at the time.

Is the European calendar format. D/m/y instead of m/d/y. It actually makes more since

I dont know, but I do like to listen to Dan Patrick and Colin Cowherd a lot so I could have very well picked up this train of thought from either of them. Colin is full of crap with what he says sometimes, but at others he may be one of the more insightful people in sports talk radio. two of my must listen to radio programs, it will literally make you a better educated sports fan.

What I've been saying about the combine in recent years is that the combine is there for you to either do a direct comparison or find a red flags. with red flags being the main thing you're looking for. You should have players on your board based on their tape, and only drop based on things you find out as you go through the process.

Richardsons game tape passing the ball is not great at all. Projects dont go in round 1, but someone may still bite because unlike last year, there is gonna be a run on QB's early.

So, I wanted to share some broader picture food for thought from a long-time offseason huddle vet. There has been a lot of chatter around the Panthers trade that can be straight up ignored, headlines such as us being willing to trade back, us keeping all the QBs open as options, and Tepper liking Young and Reich liking Stroud, yada yada yada, Its all meaningless hype and conversations starters for the Draft which is still 46 days out. The NFL pushes these narratives because they want fans to remain involved and excited for the Draft. After all, if the Panthers came out and said who they were drafting right now, which there would be nothing to stop them from doing just that at this point, it would kill the ratings for the early draft order because right now you'd pretty much know it 46 days out if they said who it was now. Yes, some hardcore fans like us would tune in anyway to watch, but your casual fans wouldn't the moment they knew who the pick was, and that's the reason for all the misdirection headlines we have read since the trade happened. Also, if you're newer to watching the Draft, the NFL used to let the teams make the announcement way in advance, and they made them stop doing that before the Draft just for this very reason. I think once, the player even had the contract worked out before the Draft. Something else to consider: You only spend that capital on a trade if you're 100% sure who you'll draft, especially considering part of the cost was DJ Moore. Because DJ Moore is part of the trade package, Panthers have already decided who they are drafting and are 100% all on board. Tepper would have had to sign off on a trade like this, so this narrative that the Tepper and Reich are split is entirely false. And with that said, the Panthers, in a roundabout way, have said who they're drafting, but I'm not going to spoil it for yall if you haven't figured it out yet. It's Stroud btw

Got to do what you got to do for a QB, but this price was steep….

Sad to see him go, love that we got the first pick, hate that we traded DJ Moore.

fug we traded DJ Moore!

Come on Stroud!
