The 2022 NFL Draft had potential for chaos as there were no blue chip QBs, a lot of teams wanting to trade down, and a quarter of the league had no 1st round pick to start the draft.

A fellow Panthers teammate once said "When I talk about Steve Smith coming in as an angry man, it was more about a chip on his shoulder and being able to prove everybody wrong," . Smith carried that chip until the end of his career, which ended with the Baltimore Ravens in 2016 after being cut by the Panthers in 2013. QB Jake Delhomme said "Players were literally scared of him." Former Utah teammate and long-time Panthers teammate Jordan Gross, agreed. "Steve just played pissed off. " "In college, Steve literally got into fistfights with teammates. Every day, almost. ... The same things that got him in trouble, whether it was punching a teammate or whatever, were the same traits that made him a Hall of Fame receiver."

Let's keep it up!!!

I agree. Sounds like a plan.

I am not in favor of trading Jarvis. Anxious to see how this plays out.

I am with you all the way!!!!

The cost factor and Carr being 31 yrs old, an age lots of QB's start slowing down, are both concerns for me.

Any time I hear the words "trade up', I get a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach and a fear that the Panthers will give up more than they receive, costing them in the long run.

While I feel sure Bears GM Ryan Poles will do his homework on QB's Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Will Levis in the pre-draft process, I would be highly surprised if they would be willing to move on from Fields.

You summed up my exact feeling very nicely.

Congratulations ladypanther, you looked in your crystal ball and correctly called the Chiefs winning on the last drive.

So would I if he is available.

Exactly!!! There is a limit on the amount a team can play one player and still be able to compete long term.

Exactly. Let Atlanta go get him. I had much rather the Falcons wreck their salary cap and give up much needed draft picks than the Panthers.

Young and tough is the way to go...

Last i looked the betting line was Eagles by 1.5. So, I suppose we will just have to sit back and let the game play itself out.

I agree and the fact Andy Reid is one of the all time great head coaches should make a difference.

I like Lamar Jackson but it would hamstring the Panthers, considering what it would take to obtain him.

Welcome back home Dom Capers ! Great to see him return to the Panthers as a senior defensive assistant.

I am all in on the hiring of Josh McCown as the Panthers new QB coach. McCown is highly respected for his QB knowledge and the ability to share it.

I admit admit Bryce Young has skills but he sounds like an injury waiting to happen.

McAdoo gave the Head Coaches what they asked for, so if there is blame to be placed, it needs spread around.

The report on Matt Corral coming out was he was excellent in decision making. Played with good anticipation and awareness, processes the field quickly and has the arm strength, mobility and athleticism to improvise when needed and had shown more maturity as a passer. For what it's worth, the same reports said Corral fell in the NFL Draft to the Panthers due to alcohol, depression, unreliable behavior, all these were their opinion,not mine.

12 million in cap is a large hunk of money.

Yes,5 million sounds about right. I saw an earlier report that stated 5 million was also the same salary projected for Sam Darnold.
