Boy...what I would do to trade up for Herbert in hindsight. That kid is phenomenal.

I was right about Herbert. Only me and Marty were on that bandwagon. Teh huddle wasn't.

Now if only people could trust me on Kyle Trask's future.

Incorrect. I was, as well. Said so at the time.

Trask isn't the guy. You'll see.

Okay, you know I did mean "most" of the huddle. Yes he is excellent. Did my homework on Herbert way before I joined Marty's bandwagon.

I evaluated Trask the same way. He's the real deal. We'll see. All bets are of till he gets his chance. Physically, mechanically, IQ, pro speed release, Drew Brees type ability to read and react. Yes. All day.

This IS a great QB draft. I just think quite a few of those high fliers will fizzle.

6'5" 240lb hog Mollie pusher. Physically he's the most impressive to me.

Ya'll sleeping on my boy!

Yeah, we went round and round on that. I just don't buy your logic of him being "bigger" so that means he is better. Herbert's size is an asset but his elite skill levels are what made him a big time prospect. Trask has very little in terms of the elite skills.

Yeah, um as far as QBing skills he's got that.

Cam Newton clone, running like a gazelle, no. Standing in the pocket, reading and delivering nice catchable balls racking up the most yrds and touchdowns in college football, yes. If you're QB is doing what he's supposed to do, elite athlete matters not.

He also has a slow delivery, a less than lively arm and some questionable mechanics. If you want that kind of QB, why not take the far better version in Mac Jones? He has all the polish that Trask doesn't and still doesn't have an elite skill set. 

That Herbert comparison is pretty bad. Herbert was a great athlete and has just about every elite skill you want in a QB. His questions were all related to the scheme at Oregon and him being able to translate to the NFL.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
