Wait, this seems like there was a lot of outrage for no reason

Life imitates art.

I have no words.

It to them hiring BB before they turned it around.

The injury risk would be the same for a first round draft pick or anyone else. 

But you have 3 more picks in the first to compensate.

Like say, behind the lousy offensive line that you're stuck with because you gave away some of your top picks?

Bingo

"Pretty damn high" would also potentially be a description of our salary cap.

Not counting the chance of him getting injured and all your plans are dashed in an instant.  The risk is too rich for my blood.

The edit button disappears after 5 minutes. You have to proofread right away. It's so people don't change it after responses and reactions.

It takes me too long to proof read.  Bite me, I'm old.

Now, the edit button is nowhere to be found!

The edit button is not showing on OPs, but seems to be showing on normal posts, @Jeremy Igo

NO EDITS FOR YOU!!!   Igo/Zod is drunk with power.

Impressive. Did they drop him from a helicopter directly into the stadium?

He flew in.  That's why it took so long.  His arms are tired from all that flapping.

We certainly took a hit with the Richardson fiasco.

Wonder if they will try to move Stafford in the draft or during opening acts of FA?

 

Any thoughts?

I'm sure they will try to get something out of him before the draft.  My hope is they will eventually cut him so we have the option of signing him off the street.  I would not trade picks for him or Watson.  I do not want to watch another QB end his career because the team didn't (in this case couldn't) build a team around him.  

Do not seek the treasure!

Well given the amount of winning seasons in franchise history(7 winning seasons in 26 years of existence), I'd say we are a bottom third franchise. The only argument to be made for us being in the middle portion of the league are the two SB appearances and our 22nd ranked all-time winning percentage. 

Not super strong arguments, IMO.

I agree, I was just talking out of my ass again.  We are the suck. 

Just now, kungfoodude said:

If we are in the middle, who the hell is below us?

Well we are technically slight worse so I guess there is only a handful.  It seems to change every season but unlike them we managed to stay middling.

Define "middle of the pack."

Where we are now.

He would instantly be the second best QB in Panthers history. 

 

I know that isn't saying much, but still. 

I mean if he is our only realistic option then I say give it a shot.  It keeps you from over drafting because of need.   I'm not advocating for or against him but I'm saying you shouldn't rule him out.  I still think they stay at 8 and take their chances.  

I will say that I think they take someone at 8 that will make the huddle melt down.

And it will be glorious.

Teddy starts the season.  After that all bets are off.

Was the word highlighted a typo and supposed to be scarred?  Or was that the word you intended?  It works either way, just wanted to clarify.

It's a typo.  I'm not fast enough on the edit button before it gets locked and your typos live on in infamy.

Not a long term solution but could hold the fort until they find the next guy.  It gives you options for a couple of years.  So it's not a terrible choice, unlike the Teddy signing.    But I am just an observer.  I'm just a guy trying to make my way across the universe.

He can build 12 stadiums for all I care. I don't like multimillionaires to ask for our tax money to do it though.

What rock have you been hiding under?  This is how your government works.

The obsession with Hurney here is creepy. 

I guess you weren't around to suffer through all of his tenure, both of them.  The man has scared the franchise and the fan base so bad that will take years for us to get over.

Will it be a stadium near me with Teddy Bridgwater playing QB or with a young true franchise QB? That’s the real question. I like your username. Pretty awesome.

You will have to tune in next season to find out.  Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!

Just a 'best case' scenario here for us on an upward trajectory...

Pick #8 in 2021 - CMC level

Pick #24 in 2022 - Shaq level

Pick #28 in 2023 - Vernon Butler level

 

If you wouldn't trade those 3 players for a Top 5 franchise QB, welp.  And yes, we could draft HOF unicorns with all 3 of those firsts, just like we could draft Ryan Leaf level busts for the next 3 drafts.  If the price is 3 1st rounders and that's it, no brainer call it in.  If it's 3 firsts AND players, then it's a potential issue. 

 

That's an interesting take but you also have to consider that you cannot predict where those other 2 first's will fall.  They could just as easily be CMC level as easily as they could be Vernon level.

You could also draft a Pro bowl level QB anywhere in the draft or even an UDFA.  It's a crapshoot.

This is a losers bet by going all in on one player.

I like where it’s at right now. We don’t need a new stadium. 

I hate to tell you this but it's not up to us where it's built but make no mistake one is coming.  But will it be at a site near you?  Stay tuned for more after this commercial.

Just now, TSLA said:

If Tepper move this team one day to SC, I will be done. Stay in Charlotte. 

Then you better hope he buys this site and builds his new stadium there. A new stadium will be built at some point and this is your best shot.

What will it be when Samuel leaves and they have to toss in DJ on the trade for Watson.  Not looking so good now.
