It's been said, but it's about time for its own thread! 

Trevor Lawrence is the next iteration of the next big thing in the minds of many. There are good reasons for that! Some quarterbacks just have the "it" factor. He is in the mold of what many an NFL fan's fantasy consists of when thinking of the perfect QB. He has size, pocket awareness and presence, arm talent for all throws, decent decision-making, and is all that and a bag of chips. I get it! Of the top quarterbacks, he is the safest, most surest pick! But, that doesn't mean that he'll be the best QB of the 2021 draft class.

There are other worthy quarterbacks in the class. And, believe it or not, when it's all said and done, they could end up the best QB in the class. 

Justin Fields looked pretty good last year. And Trey Lance is somewhat of a talented magnetic enigma. Both have less of a body of work than Lawrence, and seemingly a lot more to work on and prove, but they all have a lot to prove as it pertains to the pros. 

Sure, Joe Burrow has looked the part in his first couple of starts, and is showing plenty of promise. But Herbert looked pretty damned good yesterday also. Really good for a first start! Moreover, guys like one guy that recently signed almost a half billion dollar contract, and another Super Bowl winner who was apparently too short to be a first rounder, but now playing in a stadium named for a second-rate cable company, should make you think.

All that being said, at least wait until the Panthers effectively play themselves out of contention for one of the top quarterbacks before you commit to the crazy talk of tanking, because tanking isn't going to happen artificially; tanking was always going to happen naturally. With things going the way they are, we'll likely be in the position to get one of the top guys. I will be happy to take Lawrence, but I'm not going to be crying in the slightest if Lance is there for the taking! Pictures of flowing Fields aren't bad either.

Yeah, he definitely could prove to not be the best of the bunch in the NFL. But, I'd rather be sitting in the driver's seat to have our pick of the bunch. Honestly, if that turned out not to be Trevor, fine. But it better be a fuggin QB.

LOL I can see this board if we have the number 1 pick and choose Lance or Fields.  This place would blow up.

That would never happen.  Trevor Lawrence would have been the number 1 pick 2 years ago, last year and he will be the Number 1 pick this year.

An injury like Tua's (god forbid) could make that a harder decision for whatever team is making it.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
