There was only one Luke Kuechly. I'm not sure of anyone else in the league that is diagnosing plays to the extent Luke did, and that was because he was a film junkie and watched it daily.

maybe

Correct. It hasn't happened yet.

I think it is sometime this week though...

Thursday. They fly in tomorrow from Phoenix for the meal.

Well, this'll generate some headlines

 

Richardson does have some elite traits that aren't physical, but not a lot of NFL fans have really watched him. His pocket management and movement would be elite on day one in the NFL. The way he can stand tall and move within a tight pocket is really astonishing. He goes through his reads well and makes good decisions. Statistically, from what I've read, he's much more likely than any of the top four quarterbacks to throw to his second or third read. 

Anyway, I for one would not be mad if he was the pick, from everything I've seen.

True true,

But I don't know of anyone currently doing it.

Also that has nothing to do with sensing when someone is around you or getting close to you. 

One of Bryce's best traits is having a great feel for where everyone is on the field at any given time. He avoids pressure within the pocket better than anyone in the class. 

Tom Brady is the GOAT in large part due to his unbelievable pocket awareness/manipulation. Dude moved in the pocket better than anyone pretty much ever. He was hardly ever sacked because of the way he was able to sense pressure and avoid it while in the pocket.

The problem with Bryce and putting his "instincts" on a pedestal is that the NFL is where all the players with physical gifts and "instincts" all go.

That all equals out. 

I just think its going to be a rougher road in the NFL for Young.

Not throwing, weighing, I can't see "instincts" elevating an undersized underweight guy above the physical specimens he chose not to throw with.

This is not accurate.

Sounds fair to me.  I just keep hearing these "he didn't get hurt in college so he won't get hurt in the NFL" posters.  That's not quite how it works...  

He did get hurt in college and if you watch the hit it wasn't a brutal it. 

My concern is his longevity.  If the guy last only 5 years, we are back to ground zero.

If we take Stroud, he may not have all the traits Young has but he'll grow with Reich and last much longer.

I'll be happy with both but Young just worries me he won't last 10-15 years.

I'll admit, Richardson was super interesting as a watch.  Mega talented athlete, played better than his stats, but he's no Cam Newton.  Cam started one year at auburn and was the best player in college that year AND won a National Championship.  Thats part of what made Cam  the #1 pick in 2011.

I just don't see it with AR.  I think he's a great talent, and is going to be very entertaining as a player.  Do I think he's going to turn the Panthers into the "it" team?  Probably not.  I feel like this is smoke from Frank.

It's going to be between Young and Stroud and I'm completely happy with either one.

Don't forget he had a NJCAA National Championship with Blinn College before Auburn.  Richardson had one season with UF.  

I have always said that Richardson is the dark horse.  His ceiling could be higher than all the QBs in this draft.  

I don't think he's the pick.   We have picked up far too many good free agents and not expect to compete in the NFCS.

What happens if Anthony Richardson is better than both of these guys?

 

Gotta consider all options my man.

He's nowhere near Young or Stroud but as I said earlier.  His ceiling is much higher.  He'' probably end up on a team like New Orleans where he can sit behind Carr for a couple of seasons. (aka Love in GB)

But what if he ends up being the best QB in this draft?

This is hilarious “what if” we could play that game all day it makes no sense. What if Bryce breaks his leg like Alex Smith or what if C.J. Stroud goes out gets drunk and hits someone with his car and kills them how the hell would anyone know the future. You make the pick based off your current evaluation who ever is your best player at QB for us you take him. No one knows the future so why the hell do you keep saying but what if but what if. If he becomes the best QB ok what can we do he’s not the best now obviously so do you think we should draft off potential or go with what we know to be good based off production. That’s what makes this so tough you never know we can only “Project” what we expect them to be.

The point is nobody knows anything.

 

We think the 2 best QB's are Stroud and Young. It very well could be neither. I don't think people realize how much pressure is on us to get this pick right. If we pick the wrong guy it could set us back for years.

 

Not really. 2 years at most. If we don't think whoever we picked is the guy after 2 seasons, we have our 25 first to go after another QB.
