I'm mystified that you think that any of us have any influence on what the team does at qb. And please point out this franchise qb to our front office and spare the rest of us the misery of going through another decade of looking for one. I'm sure David Tepper would happily reward you for that bit of prophecy.

I'm sure they will at some point if they are interested. Most of the staff are still moving into their offices. Their first full staff meeting hasn't happened yet. Whatever they have planned for FA will be decided after our current players are evaluated which just started. Even if they were interested Carr is in no rush to sign with anyone so who do we have to be in a rush to show interest? If we really want him we will sign him.

He's going to let the market set his contract worth. He may very well get 40+ mil per season somewhere. I'm just not sure we are one of those teams.

Carr decides who he wants to visit. Besides, we are not going to lift our skirt for the first sailor to walk by. He's got to learn what he's worth around the league before he gets serious with anyone. Like I said, his asking price will determine how interested we are.

This thought has been lurking in the back of my mind ever since he became available. Its like a itch that won't go away. I hope I'm wrong.

I agree. I also think that this group doesn't feel they have to get the #1 pick at all costs in order to succeed.

Here's what I think. I think if Carr visits the Panthers he will end up with the Panthers after he evaluates his options. Of the 3 FA qb's worth considering Carr to the Panthers makes too much sense. The contract however will be the deciding factor. I just have this feeling he a Frank will hit it off.

Of course it's a better collection of minds to evaluate this class. That still doesn't mean the guy will live up to his potential. It's always a gamble with these rookies. I have more confidence now that we have a good enough staff to identify serviceable qb at the very least.

Based on what exactly?

Of course, if they get it right.

I was thinking the same thing.

A move like that could be franchise crippling. Tepper will be the person to make that call because he has to hire the next person to clean it up if they make the wrong pick. A lot of people will be out of a job if they get it wrong.

Thank you for posting these. Saw them earlier on their YouTube channel. Every Panthers fan should be required to watch these. It's well worth your time.

It's not Levis whose stock is plummeting. I do not think AR had as much stock as you think. At this point he's not a top 5 qb in this class. That could change after the combine but I think teams have these guys ranked differently than you guys are ranking them.

If there's 4 qb's drafted ahead of us we would be idiots not to take an edge or DT at 9. The 1st round is top heavy with immediate starters. But I think in the end only 2 qb's go before our pick at 9.

Someone's being looking at the qb rankings.

It doesn't surprise me. He's rated higher by teams than these draftnicks think. There will be other surprises that challenge the narrative around this class as well. There was a reason it was viewed as as loaded qb draft last year. Opportunity is a factor in every draft so buckle up.

That's another reason they may be hesitant to throw a bunch of 1sts to move up for these qb's. Honestly, I don't think that they will have to anyway.

I agree with everything you summarize except for finding a rookie who can start this year. It's hard for me to believe any of them should or could start this season. Considering the new head coaches that are going to be facing the same dilemma we are facing. And most owners want results now its difficult for coaches to put their job security in the hands of an unknown rookie. The offseason is going to be interesting as free agency will say a lot about the draft. Fan frenzy over the top players and what their team should do is usually far from the reality of what actually happens.

Looks like a good candidate for the tag. He's not worth it. One good season doesn't make him a 45 mil per qb.

I've seen a couple of qb rankings where Hooker is ranked ahead of Levis and Richardson. I've seen the McGee kid ranked ahead of AR in them as well. Take that for what is worth.

Whoever decided to extend him should have been fired.

I'm curious to know the order they ranked against each other verse the order they were selected. That may tell you how accurate the qb rankings are more than where they were selected in the draft. The mock drafts are never right.

As aggressive as they've been with the coaching hires I would not be surprised if Tepper didn't tell them to do both if necessary.

About the only thing I can trust going forward is that it can't possibly be any worse.
