Panthers are now the betting favorite for the #1 pick

Panthers are now the betting favorite for the #1 pick
WUnderhill replied to Martin's topic in Carolina Panthers
If we had some fat college donkey and his college coaching staff I’d be more worried about that. This coaching staff in this division won’t be picking in the t10 even if we roll with Darnold for another year, and the 2 QBs everybody wants are going top 3-5 unless they have terrible seasons and turn into pumpkins in which case we won’t want them anyways. -
Will Kunkel says we're only "seriously interested" in three
WUnderhill replied to top dawg's topic in Carolina Panthers
Will “Kunkel”? More like Will “Not My Uncle” so don’t touch me there. Am I right? -
I know you guys won’t believe me, but I’ve got a feeling the Bears might be interested in trading the #1 pick. You heard it here first.
-
Only interested if the Bears swap with Texans and stay at 2.

How can you predict the success of a college QB in the NFL?
WUnderhill replied to d-dave's topic in Carolina Panthers
I really just want Young or Stroud, would be happy with either. I’m a bit higher on Young but Stroud has a lot to like too. Wouldn’t want to trade up for Richardson but if he’s there at 9 sure. -
I was trying to read why they included Lamar Jackson without making a snarky comment about “free agents”, but the pop up demanding I sign up for their website is cancer.

JOE PERSON: Panthers will not pursue Lamar Jackson
WUnderhill replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
That was a 7 year contract. I think he got like 8mil/yr. I doubt Lamar would be too happy with that. -
Stan Lee?
-
He was an MVP 4 years ago and he’s pretty much performed worse in every statistical category each year since then and hasn’t played a full season since 2020. I don’t really get the narrative. Hard pass on trading 2 firsts plus the contract. I’d be down for signing him to the right deal if he were a free agent, but he’s not.

Even if you could say for certain that he has more risk of injury on a hit by hit basis, his ability to take less hits and less big hits isn’t something you can ignore. Let’s say he takes one “significant” hit every 50 hits, and some 6’3 QB takes one “significant” hit every 25 hits. And let’s say for the sake of the example that Young gets injured on every “significant” hit, while the other QB gets injured for every 2 “significant” hits. Well then they get injured exactly the same amount. But then what if the 6’3 QB also takes twice as many hits. Well then all of a sudden the 6’3 QB is more likely to get injured. These are obviously all made up numbers, but it’s just to illustrate that it is possible to have a skill set that reduces risk of injury, and Bryce has that skill set without question. It’s just a matter of does the skill set make up for the size. I think it’s closer to a wash with these other QBs than some people think. And just for note, I was on the “don’t want Young because of his size” train until just a couple weeks ago when I really started watching him and learning about him. What I see is a skill set that offsets the size concern and then you get all his other elite attributes on top of that. I was hoping he would come in more in the 5’11-6ft range at the combine, but nobody was surprised at the 5’10.

That was exactly my point. The Saints weren’t a suitor, so him signing immediately with the Saints was a bad thing for the Panthers. While Carr was available, the Bears risked losing suitors the longer they held onto the pick.
-
Ok you’re right nothing matters it’s all set in stone already and Bears GM mentioning Carr by name and talking about teams trying to get resolution on the trade because of the availability of him and other options means nothing
-
I mean yeah you have your max but you try not to spend it if you don’t have to. Carr signing with Saints gives Bears leverage to play hard ball because the threat of losing suitors as time goes on lessens.
-
Well that increases Bears leverage. Saints always find a way to fug us.

Ryan Poles trying to drive up the cost of the #1 pick
WUnderhill replied to NAS's topic in Carolina Panthers
This guy might turn into a “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” meme acting like that. It could work out, but he’s also risking scenarios where Carolina decides to sign Carr and Vegas gets Rogers and then all of a sudden the Colts don’t see much reason to try to move up because there isn’t anybody trying to get ahead of them anymore. As somebody who works in sales and negotiations, that’s some pretty dumb poo for him to say publicly. Emotions are involved and if you start making people think you’re price gouging them and being a little twerp, their pride gets involved. -
Why do people keep talking about last years mock drafts? It makes no sense. The 2 QB classes couldn’t be more apples and oranges. Also, where is this consensus of mocks from last year with all these t10 QBs? I remember it completely differently. What I remember is most people had at most 2 first rd grades on QBs, and many had no first rd grades. There were many who mocked QBs in the first rd just because of the belief that teams would draft a player just because they were one of the top couple QBs in an extremely weak class. This years class of QBs is completely different, so why do we keep getting comparisons to the worst QB class in modern memory? It comes off as pretty intellectually dishonest. Here’s the first result when I google searched “2022 nfl mock draft”. It’s Daniel Jeremiah and he has Pickett at 20 and Willis at 32 That’s it. https://www.nfl.com/_amp/daniel-jeremiah-2022-nfl-mock-draft-4-0-steelers-lions-select-qbs-cowboys-pick-w The top QBs aren’t falling to 9. Last year is completely irrelevant because those QBs couldn’t hold this classes water as prospects. Get over it already.
