When was the last time this place was so quiet about our 1st round pick?

My question though--what are we expecting from this kid?

so pardon me for not really getting it when you say that you're not asking about "expectations for impact".

that said, general interest is closely tied to expectations for impact.  he's 1. not a starter and 2. he doesn't play at a sexy high visibility position hence, lower interest.  your average panthers fan probably won't even notice if he's on the field or not.

These things are true.  They true yo.

Yeah looking back, I kinda phrased it being curious about expectations given the situation he's in.  

If we drafted a S or DE high, this would be much clearer, but given the positional talent yeah, there's minimal interest but I'd like to see at least something about him, somewhere haha.  

I think Jerms had  a good article on him right after the draft but that was about it from my recollection sire.

    • There's a flip side to that, if he has 2 or 3 more great games and we make the playoffs, there's going to a tsunami of momentum to extend him going into next year. If he remains inconsistent, we will all be arguing all off season long. I think he's done enough to where he's going to at the very least, be the starter in 2026. Nothing is going to change that with 7 wins on the board at this point, even if we flame out and lose the remainder of them. We haven't won 7 games  If we win 8 games, that would be our highest win total since the 2017 season. That's very significant. 
    • GWD is the critical stat for an NFL QB. What you need for perspective is GWD %.  This is how many opportunities he converts. 2023 was 12.5%. 2024 was 33.3%. 2025 is 50%. Career is 28.9%. A consistent playoff winning QB is in the 30% range. A championship caliber QB is in the 40% range. He has been tracking well even with his major limitations under the development of Canales. This is the only reason he is holding on, but he is at the same level of a Derek Carr with the Raiders. Carr was 32.4% GWD in his first 3 seasons with 12 GWD in 37 opportunities. This gives you perspective on why he is frustrating to evaluate. Carr did what for the Raiders? 2 winning seasons in 9 seasons with 4 different HCs/OCs. This is what we want as Panthers fans? A decade of average with potential and many moments of hope? At least he'll win a QB skill competition like Carr, right?
