Todd McShay seems to really like Anthony Richardson

[Proudiddy]

I see the appeal in Stroud ever since the Georgia game, but I have been a lot more comfortable with the idea of staying at 9 or maybe moving up a spot or two if needed for AR, rather than moving up to the top 3. I would prefer taking AR and keeping all of our other picks to build out the rest of the roster, and with the change in defensive system, I feel we'll likely need it. I also feel with the coaching staff Reich has assembled, they likely can turn any of the rookies into the absolute best version of themselves, and AR has the most natural gifts and physical ability, so sky would be the limit. And I've felt this way before McShay's take...

As I've been saying, I wouldn't be mad at a move up for Stroud, but I would be 100% happy and content with staying put or relatively close to 9 and taking AR.

If the panthers can’t trade up for stroud or young and levis/Richardson start to fall. I wonder if they’d try to trade back

If you think you can turn one of them into your guy, don't get cute. Take em!

I just don't want us wasting our pick on him. It's not like you and the 49ers. I'm not at that level with the kid.

Well I'd be fine with us drafting him just to see you meltdown.

Ok, he won't be a starter. He may START a game, sure. But it's not his destiny. Is that more clear than "bust"? I don't think he's going to be a star. Simple as that. Others think he's the next multi-year MVP who will win trophy after trophy ... and that's their right to think that.

You keep leaving yourself a LOT of wiggle room. The list of QBs between guys who have started more than one game and guys who are multiple time MVP winners is extremely long. So you don't think he'll be a star. Cool. "Not a star" isn't the same thing as "bust".

We traded two first round picks for Sean Gilbert (which I think turned into Champ Bailey and LaVar Arrington), so this doesn't even register.

Thanks for the reminder.  I just threw up in my mouth a little…

I'd probably stop posting ... unless it's to gloat. So fingers crossed for us both lol.

If he's not a starter that's a bust in my eyes. Backups are worthless. No wiggle room. I'll gladly leave if he has success in the NFL. I think he's the next Zach Wilson.

Name one other FL player form offensive that going to be drafted this yr.......and do it quickly.....OK now theres a understanding.

 

AR is my #2, being an upside sucker and AR is alllllll upside.

 

If Stroud doesnt make it to 9, I'd support AR there.....but I have a big doubt he will after the pro day and combine. He should put on a SHOW.

 

[DeAngelo Beason]

I'd rather kick the tires on Hooker in the 2nd.  Hell, Richardson may fall the 2nd either way.

[GoobyPls]

Not worth a first round pick imo

[Dorian Gray]

Worth mentioning that Caleb Williams is likely #1 next year and Utah beat him twice while AR carved them up. He was definitely inconsistent this year but if Reich can unlock his potential… big time.

[DaveThePanther2008]

I agree with McShay. Richardson could be a bust but his potential to be a QB in the mold of Newton/Hurts is hard to overlook.  I would not trade up for him but if he were at #9 I think we'll take a shot.

 

I personally don't think any of the 4 QBs are going to be there at #9.  I guess I will feel more comfortable when the free agent QBs find new teams.   Atlanta, Seattle, LV and possibly the Bears could screw up the whole thing by drafting a QB.
