Considerably higher ceiling than Willis and a considerably lower floor. 

I don't want to see us make this pick at the moment because we aren't sitting on a staff capable of developing such an insanely raw prospect. That may change depending on who we hire in the offseason. 

I think Richardson is much more developed than Malik is. He isn't THAT far off.

I'd rather be a team that swings for the fences with a QB draft pick than waits until the late rounds hoping someone slips.

I completely agree that I don't trust his team to develop any QB, but sometimes players surprise us even when coordinators don't. I'd rather have a QB to be excited about, and hopefully Tepper isn't fooled by recent records and sees the value of an offense minded coach. We will see...

So do you think how raw he looked is largely a product of how he was used and who was around him in Florida?  Especially early in the year he seemed really inconsistent.

I disagree but I’m not a scout.. 

Mailk did have way more college experience, production and film.. Richardson faced better competition when he did play thoe..

Anyone who watches tape on us this season will find out quickly that our WR room is trash. Our new five star QB is trying to pull 2 5 star WR to commit with him. We were not talented this year. Dan Mullen was poo at recruiting and when you get a new coach a lot of the old better players leave. The guys who stayed were under performers or were so young they were hoping for a playtime boost.  
 

I also don’t blame them at all for switching how we used Richardson. Miller III was our backup and hurt from week 1 until now. Richardson was getting dinged up and if we kept running him a lot we were going to need to use Kitna more and he wasn’t ready. If we were to compete we needed Richardson out there and they were clearly asking him to not run to avoid extra wear. 
 

It’s like having an athlete like a Cam or Fields in college and telling them do not run at all when the chips are down.  But they did him a favor by keeping him out of harms way. 
 

He’s a super nice kid and he works hard and he’s not a headcase. Teams are going to like him during interviews. His teammates were at the podium a few weeks ago basically begging him to return for another year. You don’t do that for a guy that’s holding you back. 
 

Richardson took his lumps and kept his mouth shut about the talent around him. 
 

I still want Stroud but I wouldn’t be upset about grabbing Richardson either. We’d also stop getting stuffed at the goal line with him.

Lol OK pot.

 

You think arm talent means a cannon that can throw 80 yds. Essentially an useless skill.

Arm talent means power and velocity yes.

But it also means being able to throw the back shoulder on command. 

Hit recievers in stride in tight trail technique. 

Being able to layer the ball by changing trajectories and velocities. 

Being able to throw an opposite boundary ball in an 20 by 20 inch window over the corner (ala Kyle Allen and Sam Darnold)

 

Most of this kids completions are to wide ass open guys. The vast vast majority. 

 

“Arm talent means power and velocity yes” 

“Richardson has does not have the arm talent”

You contradict yourself. 
 

It’s very telling that most folks consider you a troll here but I thought you were just playing a character. Maybe you aren’t and they are right.

You know what? I'm warming up to your opinion. 

Maybe I'm wrong about AR15 busting.

If he does come here I'll support him until he loses my trust. I'll say he's going to be better than Pickles and Weinke. 

I still want to see some Matt Corral tho.

We all would like to have seen more Corral this year.

You are just desperate for a QB like the rest of us

    • SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-
    • The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
