They're going to draft who they want regardless. Just don't throw the bank and draft picks at Derek Carr. It will only end in catastrophe.

Brian Burns has a more legitimate beef to actually say something like this. He's been on a rookie contract this whole time. Shaq's been off that deal for years. But keep caping.

Caping doesn't make you superior either. You aren't going to get an "attaboy" big guy.

If any Panthers player ever had a legit right to call out fans it was Cam Newton. But he never did not once. Not even now after all has been said and done. But after several losing seasons and zero winning seasons you want to call out your fans?

Literally this gif

Other former and even current Panthers have gotten way worse treatment via social media. I don't see Sam Darnold going on Twitter calling out fake fans or haters.

I don't see us getting a clear upgrade over him this season. He's a great guy and a great teammate. But calling out any fans is not a good look. Like what they have to say or not they pay your bills and fatten your bank account. No fans? No business. Why do athletes who do this not understand the concept?

The third pick is most realistic. People aren't going to want to give up what the Bears will ask for #1.

Corral is closer in stature to Sam than Baker. Shoulders, knees line up.

He's pretty much the same height as Baker don't overthink these photos. You're entering Ron Burgundy territory here.

I mean, height is just that.  Doesn't mean durability.  Mike Glennon being tall doesn't make him better suited to deal w/ punishment than someone shorter. Doesn't mean you are well built.  Eli Manning is built like a middle schooler.  So was Tom Brady.   

IMO, you want a QB with a high football IQ.  That will help him stay healthy.  Then it's largely flat out luck IMO

 

Well we already have a young QB on the lighter side on the roster his name is Matt Corral. We saw how that went. Sounds dicey to add another to the roster and with the cost of a top ten pick to boot.

plus all of those dudes are roughly 40lbs bigger then young

For context and compairson take a gander at Murray's injury history and probability moving forward.

If we take him I'll accept and support. But comparing him to guys 6'4-6'5 that also have at least 20-25 lbs on him is hilarious. If he didn't play for Bama this wouldn't even be a discussion.

Longest start streaks.  Favre.  Rivers.  Eli.  Brady just logged a relatively 20+ year career.   Those guys aren’t physical specimens.  

Are any of them basically the size of a young Steve Smith playing QB?

Favre 6'2

Rivers 6'5

Eli Manning 6'5

Brady 6'4

Now let's do Bryce.

Size isn't the end all be all but over time it does make a difference in this league if you get higher up the ladder. The author could have done a better job stating his position a little more eloquently but his point remains. What happened to Purdy was not out of the norm for any quarterback regardless of size but it was bound to occur sooner or later that Cinderella story was not long for sustainability and people tried to tell ya'll that. As far as Bryce Young the guy is barely Kyler Murray's height. You do not roll the dice on that in the top 10.

 Not trading Burns is looking like a real good idea now with Evero being brought in

Exactly. But surely having an extra 2nd round pick this year would have been an enticing carrot for him to pick us over the the Vikings right?

Settle down, wrangler.  Think it through first.

Evero just needs to make a call to the league office. They can't block him for long. We need to throw whatever it takes at him and make that hire.

It's just a dick move from Peyton. Either hire the guy or let the guy interview for other jobs. That's the decent thing to do but Sean Payton has never struck me as a decent person.

You are right but it sounds like the Broncos front office in general is dirty and classless if they already blocked another interview before Payton even got there. Way to start things off for a new staff creating a hostile situation before you've even assembled a staff. I hope that whole thing is a dumpster fire. I wish the Broncos nothing but the worst.

They're trying to trade Plumlee, why would you bench him.

Thats the dumbest thing you could possibly do if you want to get value out of him.

What could they possibly get for him that would be worth enduring yet another lost season and not even trying to develop our younger talent in the process?

The only negative is cost...if he took a cut we take him in a heartbeat.

Well he obviously isn't going to do that and he will have at least a few other teams looking at him. Beyond that the QB position is one where contracts are only going to continue to balloon. The only affordable ones are either on rookie deals or they are backup tier. This is the league now people need to accept it. We have to draft and build around one.

Mark Williams with a whopping 60 seconds of playing time last night in a loss against the Pistons. Put Clifford out to pasture already.

All I know is I had him as my QB2 in fantasy and he was boooooooty. Was it all him? Probably not. But I see the same reasons why he would work here that were used to justify acquiring both Darnold and Mayfield. The one thing those two had going for them was their age. Carr on the other hand will be 32 next month. Learn from our mistakes already people come on.

Steve Smith is an over-emoting, violent moron.

My apologies to the #89 delusionists and apologists.

There was a time a year or two ago when I would be on board. But with what we've been through trying to rehab other teams unwanted QB's it's too big a risk for us to get burned again because we will have to ink him to a big deal. If this goes south Fitterer would surely be sent packing.

I’d much rather Carr if we don’t draft a QB in the first 

Ah yes surely this time we will finally strike gold in our pursuit of QB's other teams can't wait to push out the door.
