our schedule is misleading--we should win vs. the Football Club and Saints--possibly Denver.

The Saints have the division all but wrapped up.  We will see no starters

You forget that only the #1 seed gets a bye this year. It will completely depend on that race.

Totally get the reprehension cause we haven't been able to trust a coach in franchise history. I'm throwing blind faith at this one. Imagine if we landed Mahomes.

Yep. Bills traded down with KC when KC took Mahomes. KC gave up their next year’s 1st and I think a couple thirds to move up to 10. The Bills got White and Edmunds, two pro bowl defenders and still the Chiefs have 0 regrets. Houston did the same and I’m pretty sure they are glad they got Watson. Probably the only recent trade they didn’t completely botch.

Sometimes it doesn’t work out but I’d be in favor of trading my next year’s first for a QB we believe to be a true franchise QB.

Dane Brugler's first mock has us taking Justin Fields without trading up.

 

Well that would make me pretty stoked.  He has Zach Wilson going to Jacksonville.  Given how high they took Bortles, could see them gushing over the BYU product.  The kid looks great but I much prefer Fields.  Would be pretty perfect if Fields is available come pick 5 if Sewell and Parsons are that coveted.

Only thing that makes the scenario seem unlikely to me is Washington likely looking to trade up in the event that Fields does not go 2. You'd have to think they'd be on the phone trying to trade to 3 at that point (Cincinnati could consider trading down esp since their roster is bare, OT is considered deep this year, and other teams trade up for QBs)

If we're targeting QB then this isn't even super important. Chargers 100% aren't taking a QB. Dallas very very likely will not as Jerry seems committed to Dak even if the smart decision is to draft a QB. Yes, teams could trade up to those teams' picks, but that isn't very likely for the 2nd tier of QB in this draft. I think we should be sitting pretty to get Lance or Wilson in the draft, barring some unexpected wins down the stretch here.

Trubisky went 2nd in his draft, and they traded up for him.  This 2nd tier of QBs as you call them are probably better than all of the QBs in some other years.  Teams will always overdraft QBs.

Sewell is the only non-QB I'm fairly certain a team in the top-5 will stay put for, especially if it is Cincinnati.  

If Sewell is off of the board I could easily see Chargers and Dallas trading down. 

My best guess is QB3 goes in the top-5, so if we are picking 6 I think we are at QB4 which at this points seems to be Lance.

There are 13 teams with the same number or less wins than us, of those only 2 are set at QB (Cincinnati and Chargers), also I think Dallas resigns Dak.

That means there are at least 10 teams who might be willing to trade up, good luck staying put hoping your guy falls to you.  That doesn't even count teams like NE or Bears that have better records than us who might be in the market for a QB.

Lance and Wilson have HUGE concerns, largely due to the pandemic. They are both too big of risks for it to make sense for a team to trade up into the top 5 for them. It's certainly possible but I just don't see it happening. We'll find out in about 5 months. Hopefully we can get our guy/

Here again, Trubisky went 2, one year starter, never underestimate how much teams will reach for a QB.

As a Panthers fan I hope you are right, I'm just a realist though.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
