Justin Herbert

tua looks to have a noodle arm out there. he has no zip on the ball 

herbert would have been too risky that high with what he showed at oregon.

What he's shown in Los Angeles says otherwise.

I was definitely not a believer in Herbert, but I think he's already proven himself to be a QB with a bright future. I'm still very happy we drafted DB though, and would have wanted him even if Herbert was there, given the holes on our team going into the draft.

I was wrong on Herbert

But I knew Tua would be special

[Mr. Scot]

What this thread brings to mind...

[hepcat]

They scouted him heavily. If the draft broke differently I am confident the Panthers would have drafted him.

Just depends on how he interviewed and how his whiteboard work was. I didn't like what he showed at Oregon either, but you can't blame the guy for doing what the coaches are asking him to do.

Chargers line is arguably worse than ours. They've been missing their starting center, right guard and right tackle for weeks and none of the backups are any good. Also, it's LA now...

Our starting center has been missing for a year and a half.

Teddy would probably still be starting. Heck, they only started Herbert in San Diego after Tyrod Taylor got hurt.

I have to admit I don't know how good Herbert would look behind the offensive line we have.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. And I don't think we can fully judge Teddy without taking the line play into context. 

There are great weapons in the run game, excellent wide receivers, good play calling -- but that line, while it isn't giving up massive sacks right now it just looks weak and unable to impose its will on the opponents. Tough to play QB back there for anyone. Still, it's better than last year's.

Man if we only lost one more game last season we would have Herbert oh well , what if I told you we actually don’t need a qb. Teddy is fine it builds us time to get a new qb either this draft or the next

If Herbert were starting for us we’d have at most one loss. I would have hated the pick, I didn’t like him, but man I was wrong. 

I feel the same way about this statement as I do somebody saying we'd be 9-0 if Bridgewater "was more clutch."  This team just has too many holes in too many places for us to be talking about having only one loss.

We may have scored more points with Herbert.  Problem is, we'd probably also have done it quicker, putting our defense on the field sooner, and allowing them to negate whatever benefit we would gain by higher scoring.  In a lot of ways, our defense has overachieved by staying off the field. 

Granted, KC is an extreme, but we held the ball for 38 minutes yesterday, and they scored 33 points in what was left. 

All that presumes our OL would not have gotten Herbert killed by now.

Yeah in the draft thread I was calling for Herbert and we came so close to snapping him up. Now I'm hoping we lose the remainder of our games and draft as high as possible to secure our QB of the future. Teddy is doing a decent job, but I don't see the Panthers being a dominant SB winning team with Teddy at the helm.

Right now we are at 10th place in the draft. We have the following games remaining:

Bucs - L

Lions - ?

Vikings - ?

Broncos - ?

Packers - L

Football Players - ?

Saints - L

The question mark games will probably come down to the 4th quarter and could go either way. We need to lose those.

[pantherj]

Worst reasonable case scenario is that we finish 6-10. We reaaaalllly don't want that happening.
