This is why I'm out on Levis. Levis will be 24 when he plays his first NFL game.

These types of comparisons are why people have wildly unreasonable expectations. 

24 is young for an NFL QB, rookie or not. 

When people objected to a 29 year old Chris Wienke, that was understandable.

It's not the age in terms of career length that concerns me. It's the ave in terms of development. Levis is basically going to be drafted on athletic potential as a raw lump of clay. He shouldn't be so raw at 24. Guys like Hooker, Pickett, etc. absolutely lit it up at a similar age because they were literal men among boys. That's not Levis.

Levis should be further along in his development because of the type of offense he was in. But, as always, that is 50% dependent on the player and 50% dependent on the situation they end up in.

Levis is a much better prospect than basically anyone in the 2021 class, which admittedly is a very low bar. 

I would have no issue taking a late first or second round gamble on him at all. Once we start talking top 10 I am backing away from that table. He doesn't have the 95+% bust potential that Richardson does but he is far from a finished, risk-free product.

Hooker is probably a 2nd to 4th round pick post injury, unfortunately for him. He might have been a guy that could have cracked the first round.

Very unfortunate to see that happen for him.

Which might be good for us.  If we resign Darnold, pick up a player in the first at another position of need (Defensive End perhaps), and maybe take a chance on Hooker in the second.

I think he was probably a late 2nd to 3rd rounder type pre-injury. Post-injury honestly the 4th might be his ceiling. Sucks for the kid and I hate it for him. Seems like a really good dude.

      Feeling Undeniably Optimistic

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      So yea, we lost, but as many have said theres ways to lose that still provide hope and optimism.  THIS game was one of those.  At the end of the day, even though we're rocking a 36 year old QB, this is a very young team that has to learn how to win.  Think about the 2 XL drops, Mingo drop, the dropped fake punt.  Those are plays that veteran winning teams make, but we ARENT there...yet.  XL showed some explosion on the outside that is super exciting, chuba and dare I say Miles Sanders actually looked good.  On defense we are sorely missing Brown, and they were undeniably rough today, BUT, I remember thinking if there was a time they needed to show some "keep pounding" it was right after Shaq and Jewel went out, and the VERY next play the rush got to burrow and we got the turnover.  It was legitimately the first time in years I yelled "Keep pounding", that was an attitude play.  Also for all the bad on defense, Horn still looks like he does have that dawg in him.  End of the day as we all know, winning in the NFL mostly comes down to a handful of plays, and it really depends on if you convert those opportunities, and right now with our youth we arent, BUT that will change with experience. Keep Pounding.

      32nd(last) ranked defense

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Many. Recently, Snow had 3 rookies, a weak run defending DL and a garbage secondary led by Shaq as the only average LB. This defense is by far better than Snows roster. It may still be better than Snows roster with the injuries if not the same. Raheem Morris is an awful HC, but he's a good DC. He did more with less in 2023. His one piece was a used up (ready to retire) Donald. Put rookies in a position to make plays. He would have this Panthers defensive roster in the top 20.

      Legit question. In the present day NFL how would that work now with rookie contracts?  I know the Mannings are NFL royalty, but if a team drafts him, they have his rights for 4-5 years no?  I’d draft him and make him hold out of years if need be just because I could.  That and I hate the Mannings.    Jericho caught the ball and they head hunted Cam. F Paintin’ Manning!
