Panthers will draft Justin Herbert

I think Panthers will not wait until next year to draft the QB of the future, but will do that this year by drafting Herbert and let him learn behind Bridgewater for a year (or two).  The rest of the draft picks will be used for Defense.  

Marty has shown a lot of interest in Herbert.   Now he may be posturing for potential trade down opportunities to acquire more picks but I think the more likely scenario is that he gets drafted by the Panthers.

How would you feel about that if it happens?

In all honesty, I don’t follow CFB that closely and don’t know how I feel about this. If he looks like a sure-fire franchise QB (or as close as possible), then I hope the Panthers do it. We have seen this team with a true franchise QB in Cam and without one in a bunch of others, and know for sure that the Panthers are doomed in the latter case.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

I'll grant it's possible.

I've seen both positive and negative projections regarding his NFL career. Me? I'm undecided.

Based on his physical skills? Yeah.

Based on what he was able to actually show in that Oregon offense? Ugh.

If we draft him then I'll really be hoping that offense was holding him back and he's capable of a lot more than he was able to show.

The good thing about our current situation is that I think he's a guy who probably needs to sit and learn for a year if not two. I don't think it'll be pretty if he has to start from day one.

I think it would require him somehow dodging the picks that come before us. I think he'll go well before then, but once Burrows and Tua are gone, perhaps teams will take a breath.

If he's sitting there at 7 when we pick, I'm not going to complain if we run to the podium with the pick. I also won't be surprised if someone offers us a ton of picks in trade for it.

Still, I think we're getting Brown at 7.

Cindy, Miami, and the Chargers are all set to draft a QB and develop them. I see no way Burrow or Tua reaches us, and unless the Chargers surprise everyone and go Love over Herbert, he will not be available at #7 which would be fine with me because Simmons or Okudah, or Brown would be a great pick.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I see both sides of the arguments, but compared to last year we're somehow at an upgrade over completely fried Dalton and wasn't even good in college Plummer. At least Pickett and Grier probably have some desire to make more money when Dalton was happy to just go through the motions and I will never understand why they even bothered with Plummer.

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….
