I see people talking about Willis like he's another Cam Newton.

When I do, I always wonder if those people actually remember how good Cam Newton was.

Willis is nowhere near that good. And he's certainly not the freakish athlete Newton was.

Willis reminds me a lot more of RG3 than Cam Newton.  I highly doubt there will be another Cam Newton for a LONGGGGG Time.

Nobody is saying he’s another cam Newton. People are mentioning they went to the same HS and he played on Cam’s 7 on 7 team.

Which, while a cool fact, doesn't really mean anything.

Bottom Line: There's not a single quarterback that I would want in the first round this year, not at number six for sure.

But I won't be surprised if we pick one anyway.

If we don't draft a LT at 6 I might, seriously, literally, be done with this team for a while.  No point in drafting a QB this year if the line is just gonna be the same dog poo we've seen for the past few years.  We don't have 20 mil a season laying around to just sign a guy like Armstead, and we have seen what discount shopping for o linemen in free agency gets you.

They had Marty in Oregon salivating over Justin Herbert, to my great excitement only to draft D.Brown instead.

They passed on a QB in the deepest QB draft in a decade to draft a CB. 

Now Rhule is trying to pull off another home town hookup to further crash this franchise into the dirt. 

This guy's obsession with only people he's tried to recruit or has played for him before is the #1 mistake of his NFL HC tenure.

He didn't coach at an elite program thus players he could recruit were not of the elite variety, tweeters, overachievers. It doesn't work. He's on the hotseat.

Jim Harbaugh had the opposite results in his HC stint. Built a no nonsense approach and marched that team to a Superbowl. Not this destroying to "build" failure.

Pay Harbaugh.

Unless you are losing and flopping on purpose....

Plus I'd rather have a real former NFL QB and HC pick our next QB not this absolute stupidity that the media is now mocking lusting after a five year starter. THATS not who you draft at #6.

Huddle - we must draft a QB and take a chance on hitting on a prospect 

Huddle 1 year later - it’s stupid to draft a QB with our top 10 pick

I have no issues taking Pickett if we address the OL in free agency.  Sign a C and OG/OT, lean on BC and Brown, and grab a QB to generate some dang excitement.

Well that would kill any maybe on Fitt. If he is that bad of an evaluator he also needs to go wothout any doubt.

How embarrising but not surprising.

I was saying down the stretch that Fitts absolutely needs to go along with Rhule. No GM willing to take a job baby sitting a college coach who has final say on all football matters is simply not a GM worth having. Hell, it's not a GM at all. The guy doesn't even negotiate contracts. He's just the head scout with a GM title.

Closest comp is RW to me. Willis can get chased down but he has elite initial burst and escapability. Beautiful deep ball, very good backyard football player but needs development in the pocket and reading nfl defenses. Similar to RW coming out. I’m taking the chance on that at 6 then a Teddy bridgewater comp.

We actually have plenty of cap space available.  Over 100 million next year.  Plenty of way to work a contract to avoid a big hit this year.  I have zero doubt we are going to be active in FA along the OL.  And there is plenty of talent hitting the market.  Remember, we may be able to get away with signing a top G and C and rolling with BC at LT and Brown at RG.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By 7CLOWNS · Posted

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
