Who gives a poo. He was a top high school recruit that went to a talented team and put up great numbers like he was suppose to. You bring this up and we go in circles. 
Auburn before Cam, LSU before Burrow, Oregon before Herbert, Tennessee before Manning, Texas Tech before Mahomes. The college doesn’t make the player.

Oh and don’t draft Levis because Kentucky produced Couch, The Hefty Lefty, and Cobb had to become a WR in the NFL.

I think it's the concept of having done more with less advantages.

It is a valid point. The windows all of a sudden are tighter and top of it your guy isn't getting the separation he was because everyone is fast.

Or the bottom dwelling team doesn't have anybody who can catch.

When a guy has an uphill battle in the first place, not the best linemen, not the best WRs, not the best TE, not the best running back, but as QB is leading this team, making their parts better as a whole!? 

That's your guy. That's who Corral was (1st string Corral not Rhule 3/4 squad Corral)as a QB and Levis is showing the same qualities on a non-powerhouse team (although he's looking a little different without his former OC), and being able to elevate other guys that "shouldn't even be there".

Corral had AJ Brown and Elijah Moore. His offense was designed where he knew where the ball was going before the snap or it was a RPO with only one or two passing options. This is why he struggled as a rookie. He has to learn how to sit back and go through progressions which is why he is considered a project QB. Also Ole Miss is looking just fine without him. That’s all Kiffin.

Yeah Stroud has a loaded team and he puts up insane numbers to match it. He sits in the pocket and goes through his reads. Burrow has an insanely loaded roster in college and put up big numbers Same for Mac Jones. It’s not like Stroud isn’t throwing against NFL CBs in the Big10. He checks every box you want in a QB.

If the question is Stroud or Young it's Stroud. The constantly shrinking QB isn't a trend a can relate to. Baker is two inches taller than Young and he's having his issues adjusting after five years. The NFL is hard enough as it is, you need every advantage, technical AND physical.

The question is adversity, there will be much more with a struggling NFL franchise that's in no way a frontrunner. Can he elevate that squad?

That’s fair, but it’s hard to hold it against him that he has played so well he has never really had to face adversity. It’s more of a question mark than a negative IMO. Even in their 2 losses last year he still played great.

exhibit #58 why fitt needs to hit the bricks

To be fair, Tepper was standing over his shoulder in the draft confidential telling him "The time is now", and Rhule was like "I got Bill on speed dial I'll call him right now!", and Fitt was just like alright whatever lol

      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. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  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...
