Should the Panthers go all in on Joe Burrow?


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

The obvious answer is NO but the hiring of Joe Brady changes that from a hard NO to a soft no.

One of the most successful QB/OC duos in college history.

I'm still no because of the QB talent in the draft and the possibility that Cam is back to Cam and maybe we find a vet backup. Plus I like draft picks.

Anyone want to make the case?

Also yes this is currently the topic on Speak for Yourself. Don't poo me.

I strongly suspect Cam playing for us long term just dropped almost to zero with Luke’s retirement.

But that aside, I don't favor going all in on Burrow because I think what it would take to get him would rob us of any chance of giving him a line that won’t get him killed. It’s hard to have a dynamic offense of your qb has to get rid of the ball in under a second or risk getting creamed.

The entire landscape of this rebuild hinges on Tepper’s decision on Cam.

If Cam is cut loose then I’d seriously consider trading up

We could have up to 70 mill in cap space to surround Burrow with proper pieces 

Gotta be honest, the "proper pieces" that we would need to get to have a proper offense are linemen, and the recent free agent offensive linemen that have switched teams isn't real inspiring.

If you have his college OC and everyone is convinced he's an elite franchise QB, then yes.

With QB salaries these days, the value of a franchise QB on a rookie contract for five years is pretty much invaluable.

So you would give up nearly 2 full drafts for one player?  Think about how long it will take to build a team without a draft for 2 years.  No, you never give up that much for one player I don't care who that player is.  You guys are nuts.

I mean, the important guy we’re forgetting that we can work with the Lions to get is Tua.

if he checks out medically, then he is worth the trade up to 3 but I do get why many will exhibit caution. The talent with him is too good IMO.

Joe Brady and Tua Tag 

What would it take to go from 7 to 3?

According to value charts, our second and a future 3rd-4th. I think that’s worth the risk especially if we’re trading Cam and getting more draft capital.

It won't to two entire draft classes. Per the trade value chart, it's roughly #7, this year's 2nd, and next year's 1st. Would I give up that? Yep.

Especially considering we'll get something back by then moving Cam. Who knows, maybe the Bengals would want Cam themselves.

True. Tua is a fantastic prospect IF he checks out medically.

I'm just going to struggle being sold on moving on from Cam due to injury concerns to make a big move on a college QB with serious injury concerns.

Well there isn’t going to be a ton of change in our OL. 

Paradis - Turner - Moton probably aren’t going anywhere.

We just drafted Little and Daley. Daley will likely be our LG. 

I personally don’t want to see us banking on Little being healthy. We could sign Conklin and move Moton over to LT or we could sign Castonzo and have Little back him up.

I keep seeing everyone screaming fix the OL but 3/5 of our line is most likely staying put. And the other 2 were just drafted so they’re most likely still high on them

Cam won't be traded.  He will be released and maybe you get 3rd next year but let's just drop this fantasy trade idea.  And Burrow will cost more than the value chart indicates you can bank on that. 

This team is NOT one player away from competing.  They need way more draft picks than they have.

I agree with you, on who is staying, but that's still not "fixing" the line.  Trai isn't playing nearly as well as he did in years past, Paradis is flat out terrible, and we really can't count on Daley being a good starter.

We have a couple years to go to build this line correctly.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
