Tony Pauline: CJ Stroud or Anthony Richardson

[philw5289]

I’m good with AR15 at 1. You can’t teach the skills he already has. Our coaching staff can mold him into a great Qb. I love stroud but was it him or all the amazing receivers he played with at OSU?

Didn't we first hear Tepper saying that he likes Levis? Wasn't he saying this before the college football season was even over?

I think he liked 2021 Levis, not sure about the 2022 version

Yeah like Burrow did at LSU?

Yeah, pretty much every iteration I've seen of "the Panthers like" is "Stroud and (insert player here)". 

Stroud is the only guy everybody seems to be able to agree on the Panthers wanting.

Worth noting though that this doesn't guarantee he'll be the guy.

Agreed.  If we stay at 1, I will be HIGHLY surprised if it's not Stroud/Young unless something crazy happens the next month and a half.

The skills that he has are mostly just physical traits.

A couple of teams have gone the route of trying to take physical specimens and train them to be quarterbacks. It hasn't proven to be a good strategy. That's why I'm not a fan of drafting Richardson (or Will Levis, for that matter).

You take the guy who already knows how to play the position. If he's also a great athlete, fine. But having actual quarterback skills will always trump having athletic skills.

If we stay at 1, I'll be highly surprised if it's not Stroud.

Will Levis is a waaay better QB at QBing and throwing accurately. Me and Payton Manning say so.

Who is truly right or wrong in these discussions? None of us knows which QB will be the best out of this group. It might not even be Young or Stroud. Idk why some of you guys are so unwilling to just admit who you like. You clearly follow Alabama at least a little bit. It's odd to lie about it. But whatever works for you

And that he loves Young. And that Frank likes Stroud, but also loves Richardson. My goodness!

These people sound like a fickled, grade school girl that has lots of boys to chose from as a special boyfriend  but can't make up her mind on the choice.

Exactly what are "quarterback skills"? I love how we just make up rules. Almost like being able to actually run and escape the pocket doesn't require any skill at all. It's giving me Giannis doesn't have skills vibes.
