Some of Taylor's playcalling He sounds pretty good

I agree, I always thought Szoke should've just taken over when Bill left but really scratched my head when they hired Mick. Hopefully Szoke gets his long overdue chance.

It's all good, we might had hit it at the same timing... Mods are more than welcome to delete mine.

I can see ourselves being in the same mold of the Buffalo Bills. It took time for them to build but slowly getting a foundation in place to take over as the top dog in the AFC East.

Also, it was on Madden's soundtrack a few years ago. Probably one of my favorite soundtracks the Madden series has put out.

The fact that Jamie Newman was available as a UDFA QB was a bit shocking to me though and now he is going to sit behind Fields...

https://www.panthers.com/news/2021-draft-day-3-transcripts What is the confidence level in Sam Darnold and the Panthers quarterback situation? Rhule: "We brought Sam here because we believe that he can win for us. When we look at him over his last three years, we see a guy with tons of potential. We see a guy that we think in our situation, in our offense is going to do really good things. And we have a lot of faith in PJ Walker, we have a lot of faith in Will Grier, so we think we have a really healthy quarterback situation. It should be fun from here. All I want Sam to do is just take it one day at a time. Everything for him doesn't have to be a referendum on whether he's a great quarterback or not. He just needs to come into the building and work every day. I believe the quarterback position is really, really important, but I also believe great teams win. I think Sam is going to be as good as the guys around him, and we've tried to put a lot of really good players around him. I'm excited to have him." It may just be coach speak but the fact that they didn't draft one single QB, in any round speaks volumes to how they feel about the current QB Situation. I think I am starting to believe they actually think more highly of Grier more than I thought. Thoughts?

Really wanted Big Ben Cleveland, he grew up and played high school here in the town I am living in, my wife's hometown of Toccoa, GA! Very rare we have a Stephens County native in the NFL... Kind of cool man!

Don't we have Ian Thomas and Dan Arnold to fill that receiving TE role?

Good pick! Kind of makes up for lack of a guard selected (which we may still get ) but not really a passing the but great with blocking which is perfect for CMC. Dan Arnold will be our passing te.. Makes me wonder if we will double dip ND players and go with Ian Book lol

I agree... We could wait and use one of our 6 rounders or just wait till we get udfa

Amari Rodgers, Perkins, Melifunwu, Cox, meinerz, wyatt Davis, Brown all still on the board

Not really... There is Ian Book from ND but we all know how we feel about ND QBs lol Felipe Franks could be an interesting developmental QB who got beat out by Trask and then transfered KJ Costello might be someone Carolina may look at based off of his connection with CMC and actually pretty decent before transferring

Not to mention that Trey Sermon is still on the board too... I think we need a replacement for Davis

Ronnie Perkins, Jabril Cox, Hunter Long all still on the board

I am so ready for this forum to have a mental breakdown

Did CMC play with him? I know Constello (so?) was one of the QBs during CMC's time at Stanford so maybe CMC is trying to get one of them to Carolina

Hey Verge, you have more insight than I do lol but I just have this gut instinct that Carolina is not done with the QB position this off-season, whether is via draft or trade. I know we just got Darnold but part of me thinks they want some competition, or atleast, an upgrade to the back-up position who could develop into a decent starter... Now do I think Carolina will actually pull the trigger in the 2nd? Probably not but as stated in another thread, wasn't there late 1st round/early 2nd round grades on Mills? I could be mistaken.

From some articles I have read (and also Mock Drafts) Mills was actually by some as an late 1st rounder/Early 2nd. Some have stated that a team like Tampa Bay or New Orleans or even Pittsburgh might had picked him in the 1st so I really don't see him, Trask, or Mond lasting very long in the 2nd. So it is very plausible that we could look at Mills with the 2nd round.

rousseau just went off the board... Personally I think it will be a safety of OL... Not necessarily OT though. I could also see a trade down to acquire more picks

So many people will light up torches and pitchforks if Carolina selects a QB in round 2 Who is ready for Mills/Mond/Trask?

I don't think we are done with the run of QBs in the first round. I have a gut feeling that Pittsburgh or New Orleans may surprise us with a QB pick... Maybe Mills or Mond?

I was kind of thinking the same... I don't think Carolina is done just yet tonight
