Ranking the prospects of the last five years.

Recommended Posts

I thought it would be an interesting discussion on how you ranked the prospects of the last 5 years against this year and past. Post how you had the prospects here. Be honest or else it isn't fun :D

 

Here is what I have for qbs

 

1. Andrew Luck
2. Teddy Bridgewater
3. Cam Newton
4. Jameis Winston
5. Sam Bradford
6. Ryan Tannehill 
7. Blake Bortles
8. Matthew Stafford
9. Mark Sanchez
10. Robert Griffin III

All I can do is laugh.

 

I thought Baylor was a place were qbs could succeed based on the offensive system, I thought he had trouble with the mid-field balls, I though he had trouble staying inside a clean pocket among other things. I thought RGIII was easily the best deep ball thrower, however, I had watched enough to realize he was chucking it to wide open wide receivers and a lot of the production came from that. He seemed like a good project, but not a guy who could carry a team without a system around him, a system that would be quickly figured out in the nfl.

 

Tannehill on the other hand seemed to adjust super well to being a qb, and being a wr beforehand had helped him out with timing and being able to manipulate a s/db. I thought he ran a pro-style offense with excellent results and developed as the year went along. He went through progressions, did not rely on athleticism but rather allowed it to compliment his game. He seemed like a franchise qb after 2-3 years and had better understanding of the game. 

 

At this point, was I really wrong? =/

Yea I also thought RG3 was overhyped. Running a fast 40 is meaningless. The bigger surprise than RG3 at #10 is Bridgewater at 2. My list, in terms of prospects, would be Luck, Winston, Cam, then the rest.

 

I touted Bridgewater as an amazing qb prospect ever since he came out, it was never really close, I liked him almost as much as Luck. Obviously the pro day and size dinged him, but I am pretty certain he will prove people wrong.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
