To everyone wanting/expecting the Panthers to draft a QB

Dont bet on it. Despite Panthers fans asking for years to draft a young QB to groom for the future, those pleas have gone unheeded.

Of the 54 picks in the NFL draft in the John Fox era, one...exactly one...has been a QB. That speaks volumes. Whether they dont want to spend $, hate the idea of grooming a young QB, or simply put no thought whatsoever into the future of the position, they have a proven track record of doing everything in their power to not draft a QB.

Actually two.

(Fasani, LeFors)

Although one of them was related to Delhomme LOL

I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that Fox does not know how to develop a QB, which puts a nice shitty ceiling on our potential as long as he's here in the long run, so he doesn't bother to spend the money and would rather acquire more linebackers.

Whoops. I started out with 2003. So its actually 2 QBs drafted in 63 picks in the John Fox era.

I say we take our medicine, trade whoever we have to, get back into upper half of first round and take a QB.

They should've taken Flaco over Stewart or Otah, we'd be set. Of course Flaco may not be as good since he would've been benched all last yr and learning from delhomme.

There is no point in begging for something that should have been done his first year.

John Fox doesn't believe in drafting QBs early, apparently he also doesn't believe in back to back winning seasons.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
