After today, everyone should understand you need a QB
Growl replied to AU-panther's topic in Carolina Panthers
Honestly the cam selection wasn’t luck (he went back to school) ill give Marty his due, he made that pick despite the world telling him not to because the media was telling him there’s no QB worth a 1st overall pick and the fanbase was telling him “games are won in the trenches” and to take the SURE THING in marcel dareus -

People here only hated the darnold trade once they realized it cost us draft picks for nothing. it was heralded at the time because we “didn’t have to use a 1st on a QB.” as if there is anything more worthy of a 1st round selection. -

I mean we tried that. Now we’re talking about improving the roster around darnold a bit more and hoping things get worse. and of course you’re still discounting a valuable and plausible opportunity at finding a franchise guy. Seems kind of bird in hand to me. -

I’m waiting to see who the OC is before i start gravitating to anyone. pickett’s got a lot of starts, could weather some bad coaching for a season. If I like the choice at OC, I may be willing to stretch a bit more. -

even if it flounders it’s far more conducive to your long term success to have josh Rosen lead you to kyler Murray than to have a parade of 1st round picks spent elsewhere i mean don’t get me wrong, the quality of the product was better when it was a team game. But it really isn’t anymore, not in the way it used to be. -

Tua aside, the media reviled Justin Herbert after he regressed to the mean his final season at Oregon, as did most of this board. trying to paint that class as being labeled “can’t miss” is verifiably false theres a single “can’t miss” prospect in a draft about once a decade or so and people here actually believe you should wait for him and hope to luck into the 1st overall pick ”prepare the roster” at some point you have to realize that either your methodology is bad or your ability to evaluate the position is -

Getting the top pick of the 1st round is almost as difficult as getting its last pick any plan that hinges on that kind of desperate hope isn’t a plan its literally just desperate hope -

lol no they weren’t, and they especially weren’t on this board where your demographic of people were decrying it as a weak QB class. that absolutely is revisionism -

this feels like extreme revisionism -

All your doing with this comment is opening to the door to “well why not next year?” last year was a weak class and we were meant to wait for a STACKED class in 2022 with HOWELL and RIDDER and RATTLER year before was a similar story with “I just don’t believe in Herbert” and “tua is injury prone, why not just wait and we’ll get Lawrence?” next year never comes. Circumstances never play out in the absolute perfect manner you need them to. At some point has to at some point be right now. -

Far preferable to try and miss than to watch one of these guys inevitably go elsewhere and turn into playoff mainstays. there are worse things in the world than a “bust.” -

Wow really? I had no idea we were sitting so pretty. -

The only people who compare bridgewater and darnold to an actual high end draft pick at the position are the people who swallowed the team propaganda on what clever maneuvers those were ”if Sam darnold didn’t work out, how could anyone?” because they were established as what they were and the only people who didn’t already know it are making personnel decisions for your favorite team -

Having a competent OL is essential-having a dominant OL without a high end QB is a pointless and costly endeavor. with rare exception, the day of “building around the QB” is long since gone, and the “prepare the roster for a future QB” argument was always moronic. the value and rarity of finding of an opportunity to take a meaningful swing at a franchise QB far exceeds getting a “sure” thing at any other spot on the field, assembling a competent OL is fairly easy task. also if the Bengalis took penei Sewell over Jamarr chase they wouldn’t have made the playoffs and I just want everyone to swallow that choke it down boys -
What are you talking about? this in no way rebuffs my previous point.
-
lol having a line that is “one of the best in the NFL” isn’t the objective
-
Yeah you’ve gotta go back nearly a decade to find it, there’s almost always a great player to be had at the QB position. The good teams identify that guy and acquire him and reap the benefits you saw.
-
Any player can contribute to a team’s success. The point is impact and availability of talent relative to the ease of ability to acquire the positions that make the biggest impact, further quantified by cost.
-
You’re absolutely right i am. Like the league’s best franchises, I understand the concept of value relative to availability of talent, contribution to a team’s overall success, pay scale, the evolving nature of the game, and other largely simple realities that are apparently still too complex for a tiny brain drunk on tired cliches like “just looking to come away with a good player” and “I just wanna get the safest player available” and other dated adages that keep poorly ran teams like the Indianapolis colts locked in the cellar and unable to separate themselves from the pack in the league’s worst division
-
The colts getting sucked into blowing a top 10 pick on a player who has quite literally never added a single win to their win total shouldn’t be a blueprint
-
And it was a stupid pick
-
Uh yeah thanks buddy i know
-
“without an OL it doesn’t matter who you stick back there!”
-
really impressive how quickly you can compete for a super bowl by getting a franchise QB and a superstar wideout
-
Oh wow well if you have researched it!! he’d be talking them up for trade value if he wanted another team to come up for one he’d be talking them down if he was worried that another team may come up ahead of them-as happened when they demonstrated their public interest last year All that comment implies by you making it is that you have your own personal and meaningless assessment of the QBs and are working your way back from there ”if I don’t like these guys, why would he? This must be what this means.”
