Growl

Yeah that’s how it goes around here. Young will either be transcendental next season and Panther fans will get sad realizing they passed on a QB this season for a desperate shot at the #1 overall pick, or he will regress to the mean and we’ll have to hear “it’s just not a good QB class, let’s just wait and get the top guy next year, the draft is just about coming away with a safe player.”

lol a what now?

oh wow another generic internetism, maybe you should head back to Reddit

You cannot blow your chance to take control of the division. Panthers have to come up with a QB.

What does this mean? Who cares? This isn’t how the draft works. It’s not the panthers job to assess how long it’s been since they “made an investment,” is their job to assess value relative to need, cost, and opportunity. When you realize that, it becomes difficult to argue the point unless you’re saying the QB position isn’t important and breaking out dumb car analogies to do it.

I know man Howell and ridder and rattler it’s gonna be stacked, best we wait

calling the most important position in sports sexy or a luxury or whatever stupid car cliche you broke out is peak dissonance with what football fans around the league watch game in and game out heres a dirty little secret you’ll have to accept games aren’t won in the trenches controlling the TOP isn’t a key to victory defense doesn’t travel and cold weather football doesn’t show how the game hasn’t changed in January the game has changed, the teams that have accepted it are still playing, the ones that are still trying to prove “it should be done a certain way” are getting turned down by special teams coordinators

I can’t think of a better way to drill straight through rock bottom

It’s a thing people say on forums that sounds really smart and clever but it isn’t really a thing A new coach would also be more than welcome to pick a new QB if the current one doesn’t work thats the way the game is now you don’t just abide failure just because, just like you don’t prevent a coach from upgrading just because he makes you Sad Real Big Sad =[

This isn’t really a thing and even if it was, it would only mean multiple high value chances at a franchise QB, which anyone should be fine with

I suppose in some sense that this is true, he would fit in great here

I can assure you that by making minimum investment low effort swings it’s a whole whole lot harder

anyone who watched that game and saw anything other than two terrific QBs carrying all the other players on the roster has no idea what they’re looking at a QB changes everything

Yeah this about says it

so crazy to me that these teams can come out and deliver performances like this without elite center play or a really stingy run stuffing defense

guys ignore what you’re seeing here we need to draft Tyler linderbaum, he will change the fortunes of this franchise

Allen is such a great example of why teams can’t get too picky evaluating QBs a massive frame with an insanely powerful arm? he had “accuracy issues” coming out, sure, that’s a negative, but the windows are bigger than ever and having the power to be able to drive the 8 on plays like you just saw there is something you build around, not something you discount and forfeit because he doesn’t fit into your narrow definition of the position

that’s the difference he had a QB. Building when you have an elite QB and rebuilding when you don’t are two very different things if Wilson ends up in new Orleans I suspect Payton will be quite content to stick around

wants to be given the keys to a better team rather than having to stick around through the suck and risk his rep

and you’re desperately trying to prop up a silly insult the team isn’t just disregarding value in their selections, no team is. But it’s not the silly black/white line you’re trying to portray it as.

you get additional points on two point conversions if you’re a HOG MOLLY TEAM with a BLUE COLLAR QB is what he’s saying

Oh no I definitely meant their current 1st.

like the panthers saving grace is that basically every up and coming star QB drafted recently is in the afc, jury out on Fields and Lance. the panthers have had a chance to get out ahead of this and be the future of the conference for a while but they’re letting it slip through their fingers, Niners no doubt considered the power dynamics of the conference when they made the big play for Lance. Got to take a chance on being that team while the door is open. The panthers aren’t sold out to the idea. They’re sold out on being clever at the QB position. They’re sold out on not “rushing to judgment” to evaluate Rhule and staff. it’s a garbage dump crew of decision makers letting a platinum opportunity slip through their grasp.

Him almost certainly meriting a 1st might be the only thing that spares them then again I could see this staff actually doing it while Pickett or Howell or whatever go a few picks later to Atlanta and own the division for the next decade

that was the same guy who said it was most efficient to take a QB after the 1st round in another thread, I’d disregard
