Dear Panthers - Trevor Lawrence

Recommended Posts

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

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

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
