Lance is a straight up toss-up.  I won't act like I've really seen his game but his youtube vids look super promising.  He seems to have all the tools and was the undisputed #3 until the Trask & Wilson machines took CFB by storm this season.

If I’m not mistaken, Mahomes was a bit of an enigma when he was drafted. He benefited from a year on the bench before he became a megastar. It’s possible Lance’s career takes a similar trajectory but it is a risk for sure.

I like the gamble with Lance more than the gamble with Trask. The upside does remind me a bit of Mahomes.

Agreed. I’m not too high on QBs coming out of FL - they never appear to live up to the hype. And while Trask has a nice arm, his athleticism is so-so. Not sure he can be considered a true franchise QB but I could be wrong.

I think we have the right staff and culture in place to bring aboard a young QB with limited experience but phenomenal upside.

Mahomes also benefited a great deal from going to a team coached by Andy Reid.

Imagine if he'd gone to a team led by Ron Rivera.

Yeah, Mahomes is phenomenal but so is Andy Reid with developing QBs. Mahomes is what happens when you give Andy Reid a super talented super coachable lump of clay to work with.

this is the best breakdown of his college tape I’ve found. It’s an hour long but very good info. These guys were super excited about him. Pro comped him as the next Steve McNair. The guy was doing things a three year starter is doing as a freshman. His trajectory is way up.

Yep, hence why I'm expecting him the 4th or 5th QB taken and more in our range barring a trade-up

Of course I wouldn’t be upset if a QB-needy team e.g. the Bears were willing to trade up for Lance in exchange for a bevy of picks this year and next. I could actually see us making this trade if Lance is there at our pick. How’s that for draft day drama?

Hindsight is 20/20 and obviously Trubisky was a massive bust but before the draft he was widely regarded as the best QB in the draft. Not really comparable.

He might have been the best QB of that draft but that doesn't mean he would be higher rated than QB3 and QB4 in this draft.  

Fans tend to evaluate players in a vacuum within their current draft class, evaluators don't.  Teams could easily have a higher grade on Wilson or Lance than they did on Trubisky.  

My only point is I think you are undervaluing the chance that a team would take or trade up to the top 5 for QB 3 or 4 in this draft class, but like you said we'll see in a few months.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      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.

      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+

      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.
