Yeah I would. I'd take Howell and an OL.

Every QB sneak that comes up short... Pickett's charge failed once again.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I stopped expecting the Panthers to do anything even remotely intelligent quite some time ago. It would be impossible to disappoint me. I fully expect this organization to make the dumbest moves possible.

Brilliant. This must be the level of fans that Tepper and Rhule are shooting for.

Pickett isn't as talented as Harrington or Gabbert were either

That's "the process". This is what David Tepper and Marty Hurney got sold on - this man's vision. Hence why everyone is so down on the organization. By the looks of it, we have an absolute moron steering this ship and I'm not talking about Matt Rhule though he certainly qualifies as well.

Wow, that sucks. Shitty on Texas not to have that in law and shitty on the company not to pay it out regardless of the law. Don't worry though, the executives will surely have fat bonuses this quarter.

It'd be a far less exhaustive effort to name the positive moves that Tepper has made for the Panthers' organization.

He was once recruited by Matt Rhule.

Stingley opting out of football related activities is to be expected. The guy has played in a total of 10 games since 2019. Talented kid, but taking him in the top 10 is one helluva risk.

This is the type of thing that gets Ian Thomas caliber player cut by competent organizations. It gets you a $16.5M contract extension here. What a fuging joke we have become.

A center at #6 overall with your only top 100 pick... oh wee fuging mayne.

What's the legality on that PTO non-payout? I don't know in NC, but in CO they'd owe you 40 hours of pay.

Look at the best young QBs in the NFL. Most don't fit that 6'4" model. Hell, most great QBs don't period. Ideally, sure you'd love for your QB to be 6'4"+. But a ton of great QBs were shorter than that and I'll take elite skills and instincts over an elite measuring tape all day everyday. Elite skills and instincts will make for a great QB whether he's 6' or 6'5"

I think he has elite talent with virtually nonexistent skills. He's getting by on sheer raw physical ability. He's going to have to improve technically in a big way at the NFL level. Total boom/bust pick IMO. I'd bet on bust.

Jones would've looked like Jimmy Clausen if he played for the Panthers last year.

fuging morons. While he was saying "he loves ball" 90% of us were saying "he sucks balls".

I said when we traded for him that he would likely look decent early but the more film teams got on him in our system the worse he'd look. Not gonna lie though, as against the trade that I was, it shocked even me how bad he ended up actually being. It wasn't Gase and the Jets. It was Darnold. He really was just THAT bad. Once NFL teams get a read on him in a system they have that dude dialed. He's done.

I don't disagree. All the hype on Sam was about his physical tools and inexperience playing QB. With more experience he had the ability to be great. Had.

Literally the only people still on the Sam bandwagon are the "analysts" who had him wildly overrated in the draft. At least this guy is honest about that.

If he's willing to sign off on it I fully expect it to happen. This is the type of move that could legit save Rhule's job. If it happens I'll definitely be conflicted. Elite QB? Check. But, oh man... definite baggage. Also, if it happens I'll be pissed Rhule knee jerk fired Brady because I would've liked to have seen him get a chance to work with an actual NFL QB before getting scapegoated.

To elaborate on this, I'm not talking about guys like Burns, Moore, etc. who are already good players you're hoping can make the jump to the truly elite. We're talking about a guy most of the fanbase has been ready to just flat out move on from because he peaked with a decently promising rookie season considering his draft position. We've been waiting on next steps ever since.

Bingo. Hence why I've been saying that as bad as it looks currently, with Rhule still here and still weilding full control it's bound to get uglier.

Oh, we're gonna hamstring the fug out of him. I fully expect future draft assets to get traded away and our salary cap getting shot all to hell. Rhule has already proven to be in over his head at the NFL level and now he's desperate. That's scary.

Why in god's name would anyone leave the Bills' organization for here? The Seahawks could potentially be a different story depending on the general feel in the building for how much longer Pete Carroll is gonna stick around. But the Bills? Hell, he'd never come out and admit it publicly but I imagine that if Dan Morgan had a mulligan on that decision he'd still be in Buffalo.
