I don't know....
YES, I admit that First (FC) was first with his praise for Haynes King. And I also admit That King "looked the part" last night in his first game. It says a lot that he came out ready to play and showed a lot of poise. I ALSO admit that I am happy to have him on the squad. I think he definitely has a future here.
NOW -- For the rest of it ..... I actually thought that Kenny Pickett played a good game too. The big difference (in perception) was because King played a LOT more snaps than Pickett and King played the last part of the game - which is the part we all want to remember. ALSO - Haynes King can (and will) take off with the ball and make something happen. We'll see how he fares against higher caliber defensive players.
Having said all of that --- I think Carson Beck was the big winner last night. That boy can THROW the ball.!! Big boy; BIG arm; and very accurate. Behind a good O-Line, he's going to be really dangerous. He reminds me a LOT of Josh Allen when he first came out. Not scared of anything and puts the ball downfield to open receivers AND throws receivers open (puts the ball into holes where there is no receiver, but where a receiver can go and get the ball...). Yep, Carson Beck was the real winner here (IMO).
GOOOOO Panthers.!!
NOW, I have to go and do a little research
