I don't see it happening.

I just don't see it happening. Count me as a non-believer. I'm not overly thrilled about Stroud either, but he, at least on tape, appears to be extremely accurate and great at shifting around in the pocket. Brees-esque in the regard.

This is a playoff team after the draft. 3 seasons is unacceptable.

Depth and continuity are important on the O-line. For a reasonable contract it's well worth it to keep him.

All of his flaws are coachable. What can't be coached is his raw talent. He has the best arm in this draft by a mile, and I'm not just talking about how hard he can throw it. Passes the eye test for sure.

The Bears could theoretically pull in a massive haul of picks in this scenario. Potentially an extra 1st from Houston, then an extra two 1sts from us.

If they do this and it's a miss, it's going to be a very painful miss...

I'm thankful we have a pro football team in the Carolinas that I've spent most of my life being angry about. I'll leave it at that.

I'll turn in my fan card if they do this.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I think we become one of the best teams in the NFC instantly if we bring him in and draft a stud receiver.

I do not believe race had any factor in the decisions on who to bring in. The OC and DC positions, as well as assistant coaching positions, were all filled with very high quality candidates of varying racial backgrounds, and I don't think there were any other people who could have filled those positions much better.

Aaron Rodgers makes this team a title contender, assuming his heart is still in the game. Wouldn't give up much to get him though.

I'd rather kick the tires on Hooker in the 2nd. Hell, Richardson may fall the 2nd either way.

If Andrew Luck or Cam Newton were in this draft I'd say yes. I just don't think any of these guys are worth selling the farm over.

This coaching staff, on paper, might be the best the team has ever had.

Are any of these QBs good enough to sell the farm to that extent though?

My guess is he asked for release only after nippleshorts said no one's job was safe. I think he took it personally.

Absolutely not.

When you have to go back 40+ years to find a reasonable sample size of teams that could win a championship with a piss poor QB you make my point for me. You don't think the niners win two or three superbowls with a legit QB vs Jimmy? You don't think the Panthers win Superbowl 38 with someone like Peyton Manning under center? You think the Chiefs win yesterday's game, or even make the playoffs, with Trent Dilfer as QB? Come on man.

Your mention of Jalen Hurts makes my point. The only QBs in the game were both MVP candidates. This is also the worst team Mahomes has ever been on and he still came in and performed. I'm not suggesting QBs are all you need. I suggested as much in my initial post. I'm saying that the proof is in the pudding. Almost every championship of the past 20+ years was won by a top tier QB. Gone are the days of a defense holding opponents to 15 points per game while the QB slogs through the mud and they run the ball 40 times a game. There are only a few very rare exceptions.

You need look no further than the past 20 or so super bowls. All but a few were won by a top tier QB. Yes, other pieces are needed, but you've gotta have a QB. It is just so incredibly rare for a good team to mask bad QB play, and that will almost always end up getting exposed when you go up against the better teams in the league.

I'm not arguing sitting for more than a season. I'm arguing sitting exactly for one season.

He is not good. Release.

Anyone CAN start year one. They'll suck, but they can. The risk you take is destroying their confidence as rookies. Sometimes rookies that have a bumpy start recover and do well, like Josh Allen. Sometimes, you end up with Zach Wilson instead.

Tricky draft. Feels like we need to take BPA to me. None of the QBs in this draft are year one starters. Corral sat for a year... if he kept his head in the game and in his books then maybe he can impress in camp?
