Wilson or Lance and I'll be completely thrilled about the future of this franchise, though I probably do slightly prefer Wilson. Either way though, since we already have Bridgewater I'd sit whichever QB we may take for a year or two before taking the reigns off of them.

Yes. I'm a big fan of letting young QBs develop slowly. Of course there are guys that step in and are great from day 1, but I think most young QBs would benefit from letting the game come to them on the bench to start their career. Worked absolute wonders for Rodgers and Mahomes, arguably the 2 best QBs of their generations. This is assuming we aren't in position for Lawrence. He is the only QB in this draft I'd consider starting from day 1, because I do think he's already that pro ready, but even with him I would prefer he sat a year behind Teddy.

Maybe one year. Definitely not two. I don't think you spend a high first round pick on a guy you don't think will be ready until year three.

It's not a super popular opinion and would never happen because the pressure to start the young guy will be immense, but I would consider sitting a Wilson/Lance for 2 years if we need to. It could be well worth it in the long run, and with a guy like that and with a rebuilding team like us, you care way more about 5-15 years down the road than you do trying to win with him in year 1 or 2. Odds are 1 year on the bench would be plenty and then the QB would be ready to go, but if not I wouldn't rush it. Especially if our OL isn't built up by then too.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
