Tony Pike

Pike is looking good out there

I think he could be a QB for Carolina !!

[scpanther22]

His backup also looked good too.

System???

[Jaxel]

The on thing that I have against Pike is his noodly arm, we already have a QB that can't get the ball down field, we don't need another one that can't either.

Yeah I know !!

Till we get a new coach who would fire our OC we can talk

But we defiantly need a QB

[carolinarolls]

I think Pike is a system guy. Does he fit our system? Do we even have a system?

I think we can throw a dart at the QB big board and be better off myself.

I'm tired of everyone being on the jock of the guy with the strongest arm. Go see how Russell is working out in Oakland.

Do you know who tony pike is??

[CLTPanther]

Yes, I know who he is. I was referring to a few posts up about his lack of arm strength. I'd take a guy with medium range with more accuracy any day.

Im starting to warm up to Tony Pike in Carolina.

6'6 225 (with the ability to get stronger in the NFL)

Very accurate QB

Throws a very catchable ball

Able to make quick reads

Very good touch on his passes

Pretty good pocket presence

Very good mobility for someone his size

Able to throw on the run to either side

Able to make all the NFL throws

Only knocks I can see on Pike:

Had some injuries

Doesn't play in a pro style offense (most QB's in college dont anymore)

Doesnt have the strongest arm*

*Few thing I want to say about arm strength

Its correctable with good coaching and hard work

Its pretty overrated (except for maybe the 15 yard out)

Let Tony Pike work with a NFL QB coach and he will improve his footwork and tighten up his release, which will make him even more effective.

Last I checked, Tom Brady didnt have the strongest arm coming out of college but he improved his mechanics and got stronger, which improved his arm strength and now he is a very good deep ball thrower.

I know I think Tony Pike could be a 2 round you know

that + arm strength is something you can improve a LOT easier than accuracy. a lot of mock drafts(yes I know still early) I've seen have Carolina taking Pike in the 2nd round. I think at WORST we can make a trade for a mid 20's 1st rounder to grab him, he's definitely an option for us.

If thats what you want you might as well go for Colt Mccoy.

Its not just Pike arm..Its his age.system.his delivery and shoulder

[Sam Mills Fan]

What's wrong with his age? He's 23 and will be 24 for the '10 NFL season.

That's not exactly old. We're not looking at Chris Weinke here.

24..Its not old..And i dont think it will hurt his stock..I have seen places that say he is 24 now and will be 25.just checked I guess that place i was looking at is wrong.

but the fact his backup came in and played so well will hurt his stock..IMO

[thefuzz]

IMO, not enough of a body of work to study.

He has thrown for 4,000 yards in his total college career. And personally I like 3 or 4 year starters.
