You need to start wondering what you'd give up to get Lawrence

just like the chiefs right?

The Chiefs were already a perennial playoff team when they drafted Mahomes, and Andy Reid is one of the best offensive minds in
football. 

Mahomes as great of a talent he is wouldn't be taking home MVP's and Super Bowls if he was drafted by the Jets, or the Browns.

Yes quarterback is the most important position in football but you need other pieces also, and the Panthers don't have the team built now to be giving away draft picks for 1 rookie Qb.

That’s four years dude. We had that with Cam here. Lol. I’m thinking people want more than four years of that. 

So

If we got 4 years of that with our last #1 overall pick who was an excellent QB for us.

What makes this time different? Why is Lawrence different from Cam? When we look at other examples of other teams consistently winning with QBs that aren't #1 overall picks why is Lawrence the outlier?

Again my point isn't "Teddy is undoubtably our future" my point is "Lawrence isn't our only form of the future."

We have never had back to back winning seasons so we really didn't have that, it is funny because that tie did win us a 7-8-1 date with the Cardinals third string QB followed by a Cam to Kam TD pass.

I was thinking the Colts consistent success. Like 9 years of 10 wins or more. With T-Law, that’s that type of Draft pick.

Colts has 9 straight years of 10 wins or more, BTW. THAT is consistent success, sir. 

And one super bowl to show for it what's your point.

I can point at other teams with constant success and not first overall picks at And (Saints, Packers, Chiefs now and with Alex Smith who was a FA despite being a first overall pick, Pats, Ravens, Steelers) and you keep coming back to Manning and the Colts.

    • I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently. 
    • That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do. 
    • Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
