Willis has a lot more upside than Howell and actually some elite attributes.

But...man is the bad stuff bad with him. His bad games are REALLY bad.

Yep. He's one of those quarterbacks that occasionally makes crazy big plays, but the downs in-between those big plays are just horrible. And even those big plays have tended to only show up against weaker competition.

If all you see are the highlight reel plays, you think "Wow, we've gotta have this guy!"

If you look at the whole game tape though, you say "Eeehhh...maybe not."

You take a quarterback like that only when you believe you can coach the bad plays out of them. Even with the changes this season, I have a hard time being convinced that this staff (especially with Rhule in charge) is the group who should be entrusted with that job.

Throw in that we've actually already got two quarterbacks who fit that description in PJ Walker and Sam Darnold.

Would you really want a third?

Two things that bother me...

First, they smokescreened interest in a quarterback last year. They could be doing something similar this year.

And second, that phrase "even if it's a reach" isn't something I like to hear.

Fug it, I'm down.  It would be the smartest move Rhule has made in 3 years....even if he does reach for OT #4 or C #1.

Uh oh, this may mean our fearless leader Matt may be breaking out the measuring tape to personally check some arm lengths. In all seriousness, does anyone actually trust Rhule to judge what lineman to draft in the first place? Maybe he could hand that decision over to someone like Dan Morgan or something?

They are sooo backwards. At 6 you need a scorer.

If they can get 2 picks for that #6, THEN you can get the Olineman we desperately need.

Those top picks are reserved for those who can stop the score or score the ball.

It's like they need football for dummies.

Not sure if you’re trolling or not, but this is flat out wrong. QB > EDGE > OT with the top of the draft. I I’m on mobile, but there have been lots of articles and analyses that show picking running backs and receivers at the top of the first round don’t equate to more wins over the course of a season.

I know what I want the Panthers to do (take Linderbaum at 6 and not look back).

I know what the Panthers will do, though... try to be the smartest guy in the room again and either trade way back and miss the cream of the crop, or take something silly like another DB at 6.

He is probably talking about Penning or Cross being reaches.

Not everyone is as high on Cross, he has him mocked 22,and has us drafting Penning.

 

 

I’d prefer Cross out if the two. He is proven against top talent.

This just my positive hat on in regards to "reaching". If they learned their lesson from last year, they thought taking Slater would have been a reach because they thought he might be a better fit at guard and didn't think taking a guard that high would be worth it. I hope this means they are going to take a talent on the Oline and not over think it. You get anchors on the line, period. 

 

But that is me being hopeful.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
