Yeah but then they draft Levis so it’s tough to understand where they are coming from…

😂

True. Feels like the exact same thing again. Oh look, here is a very intriguing physical talent available considerably later in the draft than most expected largely based off of mental/processing concerns.

who’s the thread about

Fairly certain he wouldn't give a sh-t about any of our opinions either (why should he?)

Levis could busy or he could turn out to be great, as could CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson and yes, Bryce Young.

Acting like we know the outcome for any of them right now is kinda Colin Cowherdish.

Also known as the drafting formula loads of people on here embraced pre-draft but that everybody is now down on since we went the opposite direction 😕

True, but it’s still odd they did a very similar thing a year ago. I think most agree these physically talented, raw QBs need time to develop. They could do this every year, but without time and commitment it’s going to fail. Hopefully they do right by Levis and develop him properly.

It's a bad strategy.

Doing it twice in a row certainly doesn't help.

Anthony Richardson fans.

Richardson was drafted #4 overall and I don't recall any talk of him struggling in interviews, etc. That seems like a huge reach.

The rationale for drafting Richardson was basically the same one for drafting Levis or for Willis last year, i.e. grab the raw guy with the physical talent and coach him up.

One difference: This year's version of that carried the additional tagline of "our coaching staff can handle it". Nobody was saying that last year.

Would've been interesting to see if it would've turned out the same way of he hadn't gotten drafted by the best team in the league at the time which was also one of the most stable, well ran organizations in the league. I mean, he got drafted into an absolute dream scenario.

 

True, very true.

I would have been OK with Richardson at #9. I think he has a better chance of developing than mental case Levis.

No it didn't.

Richardson had the most jaw dropping tape of any of the QBs.

And your lazy answer is just cowardice.  What’s the point of debate if you say that all four of those have an equal chance of being good. 

I have seen what I have seen from Levis. He has some ego and mental issues which will hinder his development. His tape at Kentucky doesn’t lie.

Wrong again, I never was high on Levis so you should name names or otherwise you’re just being a douche

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
