Opinions: if Lawrence is gone, what's the plan then?

First off.. putting the cart before the horse, you just can't play a rookie behind this Oline no matter who it us. That is the biggest problem to solve first. If they some how do a fix by 2021 then what's plan b if they don't get their QB? Keep Bridgewater and draft 2nd best rookie QB? Don't think anyone currently on this roster is starting quality....

What you got?

Fields then Lance. 
 

In my opinion we have to take one of the three of those guys even if it means mortgaging future picks. 
 

You have to use some cap to add free agent pieces in the secondary and a good linebacker. 
 

You draft oline in the 2nd and 3rd round. 
 

you roll teddy out there early next year and let the qb learn and then hopefully take over a few games in. 
 

then you ideally compete in 2022 (same time frame as the cardinals are seeing with Murray, the ravens saw with Lamar, and the bills saw with Allen).

Lawrence is my preferred choice, I think he's got the highest floor and highest ceiling and is pro ready, but Fields' and Lance's floor and ceiling aren't that much lower than Lawrence's, and they'd be great consolation prizes. Outside of those 3 though, I have zero fuging clue what we would do at QB for the future...

    • Agreed need a proven commodity as a bridge QB and bring in one of these young guys to compete. 
    • Panthers now average 0.32 ASS on deep routes (league avg: 0.28) and a 55% open rate on deep targets (league avg: 52%). They've racked up 28 deep completions (top-10) for 892 yards (8th), a far cry from 2024's bottom-5 finish. Young's deep accuracy sits at 48% (league avg: 46%), with 8 deep TDs (tied for 7th).   Key Panthers WRs on Deep Routes (Through Week 10) Roster shakeup: Adam Thielen was traded post-cuts; Jalen Coker is on IR (injured early); Hunter Renfrow was re-signed as a slot option but sees occasional deep looks. McMillan and Xavier Legette (2024 1st-rounder) form the core vertical duo   .Team Total: 71 deep targets (12th in NFL); 30 completions (9th); 958 deep yards (7th). Strength: McMillan's addition has flipped the script—85th percentile in single-coverage separation (per PFF). Legette's growth adds balance. Weakness: Depth beyond the top two is thin; Renfrow provide YAC but not elite separation (group ranks 18th in deep YAC). Comparison to Other Teams Panthers WRs are now solid mid-tier, a huge leap from 2024's bottom-5. McMillan has vaulted them past teams like the Giants/Patriots, but they're not yet elite (e.g., trailing Eagles/Chiefs). (Min. 65 deep targets/team.)   Sources: PFF Receiving/Separation Reports (2025), Next Gen Stats, FantasyPros Advanced WR Metrics
    • Vs. League Avg: Panthers were -9% in open rate and -0.08 in ASS on deep routes. Only the Commanders (41%) and Giants (40%) fared worse. Route-Specific: On go/vertical routes, Panthers had a 37% separation rate (league avg: 49%; per PFF route study). Slants/seams were better (48%), but pure deep balls exposed the lack of speed/elusiveness. Context: League-wide deep attempts dropped 8% in 2024 (2,359 total; fewest since 2009), but Panthers attempted just 81 (bottom-10), partly due to poor separation forcing checkdowns. Why It Matters for QB Play (Bryce Young Tie-In) This ties directly to the interview analysis: Canales cited "chemistry/timing" for deep issues, but the root is WR separation. Bryce's deep accuracy was 38% (league avg: 46%), but when WRs generated ≥2 yards separation, it jumped to 52%
