Dear Panthers - Trevor Lawrence

[mrcompletely11]

The NFL has gifted us an incredible opportunity.  A generational player is coming out and we are one of the leaders in the clubhouse for him.  We are not very good at all.  Our defense stinks and is only going to get worse.  Our offense is limited with Bridgewater at qb and our star running back is now hurt.   The only competition we have for the #1 spot is the Jets and I think they will luck into a few wins.  So please Panthers dont get cute and try and win.  Start the youngsters, take your lumps and lets get Trevor on the squad next year.

 

Yours truly

Our schedule is slightly tougher than theirs. They play the Dolphins twice and the browns so maybe a couple of wins in there!

Falcons have pick one at the moment

I don't think fans will sit still for 3 seasons of Teddy. Draft a QB preferably Lawrence.

If the Panthers can string together some wins later this year they will buy another year to see what Teddy can do. If not, they will draft a qb. Either way, it will work itself out. 

 

Winning cures all ills. Thats all fans really care about.

Start Grier to guarantee and 0-16 finish. I expect a team with a QB getting paid $20m+ per season to win games. I won’t expect a 3rd round QB that can’t complete a pass to win a game

Panthers have about two or three more winnable games on the schedule. I don't think they have much choice when it comes to tanking.

Yep.  Teddy is too timid

Lawrence is not a generational player but will still be a very good QB and one of the easiest #1 picks a team could ever make.

[Rags]

I went on last week about how if we had the #1 overall pick, I'd want to trade down.

And while I still think Teddy can win here, first int was just a bad choice and second int I think is another example of him and Teddy not having a lot of chemistry yet, Lawrence is admittedly the type of QB that can be an elite level player. When you compare him to past drafts, you can take him over most First QBs taken (when comparing them coming out.), and you'd have to look at Luck? Maybe before you come to a real competition, you have a real great prospect.

That said if we end up picking #2 I'd take Sewell or trade down over Fields.

Weeellll...I don't know about that. I too would like a generational talent at QB once again and hopefully not screw it up this time. It would make it easy for most fans to get back on board.

I really like Lawrence’s height and intangibles. However, I am not sold on him being a generational QB. I know it is the Clemson love, but not every great college QB will be a great NFL QB. On the right team I think Trevor could be a good QB, other teams not so much, particularly teams with a porous defense (like us). Same goes for Sam Howell, who could be too short to play QB in the NFL.

What are his weaknesses? I personally think that Fields would be a better fit for Joe Brady's offense, but if we get to choose TL, then I am making that pick.

Even if we don't get #1 we will have a great shot at Fields, Lance, Parsons, or perhaps my favorite prospect Sewell. Its a great year for a loaded top of the draft for us
