Don't feel bad, we all are. So are NFL talent evaluators. There are busts and steals every year and every draft class would look a LOT different of you could redraft them a few years later.

I dont think its as much talent evaluation as it is system/coaching/development.  I mean everyone on Gods green earth could see Josh Allen has all the tools he just needed a detailed 1-2-3 year plan on how to get better.  He goes to 80% of the other teams and his ass is out of the league by year 4.  The first couple of years are crucial for a young qb and I think we are in a perfect spot to try the same

How many QBs have made the type of accuracy improvements Allen has though? It's easy to say in hindsight that all he needed were massive mechanical overhauls but those almost never pan out. You need both. You need good evaluation and good coaching.

I think many folks were worried about his injury past, only to watch him get injured again, while looking awful in the preseason. 

I liked him a lot. I fell for him as a qb when he had a really bad game against LSU i think his sophmore year. This is from way before the draft but its how i felt. I even said id be his huckleberry. Decent review of hooker on that site too if you search him.

No thanks. Non contact ACL injuries are a big red flag.

The ACL injury is the biggest red flag for me. I would have drafted him late first or early 2nd before the injury. Now he will be a longer range product. I like the OP’s thinking, just don’t think the Panthers have time to wait. I guess we all are thinking about the next Brock Purdy.

Sure he can. If the new regime's gameplan is to "pray for Maye".

We do need to give him a chance. You cannot go off of how he looked last year with the 4th string blocking for him during training camp. He never had a chance, it was all hype about the other quarterbacks. If we dismiss Corral without giving him a chance we are doing so at our own peril.

The ACL can tear with both contact and noncontact maneuvers. Approximately 70 percent of injuries are noncontact and occur when the athlete is trying to change directions, slow down or land from a jump.

You made me Google--does that change your mind?  I saw Thomas Davis (at OTAs) injure his ACL (the second one) I happened to be looking right at him--and he was doing agility/warmup drills.  Full Disclosure:  I am not a medical doctor.

No QB looks good without the OL doing its job--they were horrible.

      Panthers sign a... basketball player

      Just admit that you don’t follow all the draft discussions on here. If draft results were so random, how come some teams tend to be perennial losers like us and some teams are perennial winners and it all starts with the draft? It’s almost comical these type of stupid responses. Oh, why aren’t you the GM? Gee I wonder since I work in a completely different field. How about you give us some examples of where the huddle consensus drafting was worse than our drafting from 2018 to 2025? I know I’ve given a ton of examples and you just shoot this generic poo of oh you couldn’t possibly done better as an armchair GM. Why don’t you dispute any of my examples? Let’s go to Brooks. I wanted Frazier at C because I still feel like that’s a hole. Other Huddlers mentioned DeJean at CB. Here’s why many of us didn’t want Brooks because 1) he might not play due to tearing his ACL late in the college season, 2) any scout/GM worth their salt would know that the 2025 RB draft class was loaded and 3) trading up multiple picks knowing 1 and 2 seems silly. Heck, after the draft, pretty clear that day 3 was where the RB value was. The huddle was right on Brooks and at most, we’ll get 2 years of Brooks while Hubbard is still under contract. If you know so much about the underlying machinations of the draft, you should be able to dispute the actual examples and how the huddle’s picks were just plain lucky and how Dan, Scott and Marty’s picks were just unlucky. Pulling the why aren’t you an NFL GM is a much repeated response when an actual reasoned response isn’t possible. Our drafting hasn’t been unlucky the past 7 drafts, it’s just been bad with lost of idiotic moves that were far worse than the huddle consensus.

      100%!! Last year we focused completely on offense, and it made leaps, especially when Bryce settled in for the 2nd half of the season. We kept all those players and improved our RB stable this free agency! This year we focused almost entirely on D, specifically our run D. I expect it to jump to at least average, which would be awesome considering they are starting at dead frikin last. Our draft class from last year, however, doesn't exactly make me tingle. I know, I know..."traded away our first round pick, give them time to develop", but still. The 1 gem was Coker, a UDFA who I really like, but he ain't exactly Randy Moss. We have to do better! We can't afford to only build via Free agency.
