I agree he has tools. I just don’t think this league has the patience or desire to coach up a guy like than when it’s easier to draft another one next year.

When I hear ‘develop’, I think the guy doesn’t play for a year or two. Yes, guys can get better but it typically only happens with real and consistent playing time. Over the past 15 years, only eight quarterbacks who weren’t drafted in the top 40 have won more than eight games as a starter for the team that chose them. Drafting, sitting, and developing a mid round pick into franchise guy is a golden ticket scenario.

Exactly. Top tier QBs come in with the ability to start year one.

Guys can be coached up, but they need a certain starting point. A base skill level and aptitude. When was the last time a guy sat for two years ‘developing’ and became a great player? Mahomes and Rogers both played at some point their rookie year. They both looked good when they did. Both of those could have and would have started their rookie years if their teams needed them to. Andy Reid and Tom Clements weren’t starting with jimmy Clausen level talent.

People put too much faith in the idea of ‘developing’ a QB. The QB has to start from a certain baseline to have any hope of turning into a starter let alone an elite player (which is what we all want). The examples of coaching a turd into a HOF’er is extremely rare. Draft a QB every year until a guy shows he has ‘it’. No need to spend 2-3 years ‘developing’ a guy.

You’re not wrong, but guys have to earn their reps in this league. He didn’t do that. It’s highly unlikely he or Howell climb that ladder. Too many guys, too few spots.

Switch over to fox if you can. Steve smith is color on that feed.

Matt is getting killed out there. That left tackle was barely trying.

Zero

100%. They are smoking Rivera, Del Rio, and Turner so far. Glad to have that experience now.

I know this isn’t popular, but the team so far looks disciplined and well coached.

The Browns aren’t done ‘Browning’, so we can’t take that title just yet.

Look at our playoff wins compared to the cowboys since the Panthers have existed.

He’d get to start.

About to see some Trey Lance.

Funches sighting.

He’s not going to be the same after not playing for two years.

Can you imagine if Corral and Baker both suck, and one or two of these QBs we passed on the past two year turn into something?

“Open competition”

Eagle landed indeed…

I hate attending games in person. 80% if the time some idiot ruins it for me.

If Rhule and Baker can’t get it together this year, Tepper’s time so far will have been an unmitigated disaster. The only bright spot would be outside football - Creation of Charlotte FC.

Cant argue with the results. 2 SB appearances, and 1 SB win. Meanwhile, we are in great cap shape with tons of picks and we’ll see none of that.

I’ve seen that same level of recall from Luke and Tom Brady as well. I think the stress, focus, and seeing it over and over on film cements this stuff in their minds.
