If Panthers are interested in Theilen at age 32, they surely would be interested in Hopkins at 31. I don't expect Hopkins or Theilen to save the day but their exp and production is invaluable to a rookie QB at this time. 

The difference is salary. One is not going to ask to be paid 20 mil

Red meat for the Chicago fans. Get over yourself. You were a good WR but not a true #1 that takes over a game. Wish you were still here, but its a business.

I was immediately sold on Stroud, but the more research I do, the more I keep wondering about Young.  Aside from his size, he checks all the boxes---I know Stroud can check boxes too....I think it will become more clear--but I tried to keep an open mind and not lock in on one decision in early March--and the more I research Young, the more I think, after his pro day, people will start favoring him,  Most of the "experts" on NFL network, including a former GM Marc Ross who is firm about it...SO CONFUSED--either might be OK, but if one fails and one succeeds, it will haunt us forever....Unless we take Levis.  Then we need the suicide hotline.

I want nothing to do with Young. If you want to see endless balls being batted down like Mayfield, he's your man. Let Houston have him. I want CJ. He's just too small

I'm not happy with this at all. He needs to be cut and we draft a TE. Are we going to keep 4 TE if we draft one? Not a fan of this move

The WR FA market wasn't great and now we are down to scraps. I've loved the overall plan so far, but WR is a concern at this point. Chalk? Thiesen? A trade?

I'd rather have Foreman than Hubbard.

I was actually joking.

 

There is 0% chance he falls to the 2nd round. Some contender in the late 1st would take him in a heartbeat.

 

What does his film say?

 

 

It says He's a Cowboy.

2 WR, another RB, a LB and DE and we have set ourselves up for a draft for QB, TE, RB and WR. This bunch had a plan and so far with the cap restraints have made us a better team. We are in a good position to go into next year

Well if so, he wanted more than we offered. He had an offer and must think he can do better. We signed a 3 down back and upgraded

Always wondered why his visit was pre-announced yesterday. Felt like a leverage move against a contender and who is more WR needy than us right now?

Best of luck wherever you end up Thielen.

Would be perfect in KC and a much better chance to get a ring in the next couple of years.

If you don't have an Elite QB, you go nowhere. We had CMC, DJ, etc and we're still drafting top 10. Hated to give up DJ, but we were going nowhere without an Alpha at QB.

Yes, they know. But if they can convince Houston to make a trade to get their #33, then this "uncertainty" has worked.

We are not rebuilding lol

 

We have a legit defense and our Oline is locked up for the foreseeable future. We are about to draft a rookie QB #1 overall. We are a #1 WR away from winning this division. It's why I keep bringing up Nuk.

 

I don't think people realize just how much talent this team has. We got all the major positions taken care of pass rushing DE, lockdown DB, solid Oline, young franchise QB.

 

WR is basically the only weakness we have right now. We are not rebuilding people!

Right now, we have a bottom 5 WR core, a bottom 5 RB core, a TE group in the bottom half and an unsettled QB situation. We are in a rebuild

I like this signing. He easily becomes the best TE on the roster and was affordable. Some of yall act like we still have 50 million dollars in cap space. We don't and still need to add a RB and WR at the very least. We are rebuilding, not reloading.

Talking poo about either won't affect anything. The decision nor the outcome 

I consider it being passionate about the team. None of our arguments are going to change the selection, but after watching losing football for years, fans are now passionate about the selection. I favor Stround and admit, if we draft Young, I'll show my displeasure.

It's rather pathetic that this has devolved in to tearing one guy down to make the other look better. It was like 1 week ago when everyone said they'd be happy with either.

 

Human nature

That's true, but it's because the stakes are huge. Make the wrong selection and we have hamstrung ourselves for 3 to 5 years.

I don't really get the "wide open receivers" thing. Every time I watch Stroud tape he's hitting guys in tight windows consistently, leading guys with the ball. Haven't seen many hospital balls, just really good rhythm 

The ball placement is what sets him apart and he is elite with it. Guys are catching it in stride not waiting for it or having to adjust.

No midgets.

What did OBJ do to you?

Besides being a psychotic coach killing cancer, nothing. Hard pass

You guys are so damn dramatic.

Dude is being signed to be a vet backup for the rookie. This is good news. He's incredibly smart and understands the game well. He'll be our Rookie's Derek Anderson. 

Absolutely nothing wrong with this. 

Not dramatic, just can't think past the present day. Dalton is a great pick up. Smart, great work ethic, excellent team guy. He is perfect to help teach our Rookie the right way. And he is cheap. Great signing

Quiet today. I was expecting a couple of signings at least

So where are we at numbers wise after the signings today? I wouldn't mind getting Hurst at TE. We simply don't have the cap space for one of the top 2. Would also take a shot at Theilan as well.

Here's a highlight reel of CJ Stroud from the Rose Bowl where he threw for 570 yards and 6 TD's against Utah's God-awful secondary.  I share this because you can see that his ball placement is extradordinary!  

 

There is no way you watch the throws and ball placement and think we should draft Young. Hope he has a good career, in Houston

I dont want any more trades for players right now. We need our draft pics and only want to use our pics to move up or down for other pics. If we need guys use free agency, but don't hamstring the future. If we need to take a couple of years to rebuild, do it but stop mortgaging the future

This thread seems kinda short
