Supposing we do draft a quarterback in Round One...

Make your case for why he should sit for a year while Bridgewater continues to start or why he should start immediately.

It is valid to take into account things like which quarterback we draft and what we do with the offensive line.

All five of our current offensive line could be gone.

Paradis is not very good.

He has been pretty good this year. Upper half of the starters in the NFL. I realize most are still upset at him based on how terrible he was last season but that hasn't been this season's results at all. 

It is probably unwise to attempt to replace him unless we actually have a decent replacement for him. My guess is, he'll be wearing a Panthers uniform in 2021.

You just play the best quarterback. If that's Teddy, fine, if it's a rookie, fine. 

It's football. You can't bubble-wrap people. And even if you spend years and a huge amount of resources on building the perfect offense to put around a young quarterback, well, look at what happened to Dak this year. Freak things happen. People can get hurt even when their protection is good.

Kyler Murray wasn't ruined by starting in his first season behind a weak offensive line. Herbert's looked great. You sacrifice a year of on-field development by waiting for a guy to turn into whatever you want him to be. Just put him in there if he's the best player.

When I've watched him this season, he hasn't been good.

I remember one game this season he and Chris Reed were so awful they actually took attention away from how bad Greg Little was.

Or, God forbid, Joe Burrow'd.

Anyone who wants to start him immediately should probably touch on how we prevent that from happening.

ACLs heal. Granted I'd never want to see any of our players go down with a season injury but at the end of the day the mental toll playing behind a poo o line can take on a young QB scares me way more.

The beatdown Carr took in Houston that first year I think legit changed him as a QB. Id rather our QB be it Fields, Wilson, Lance etc be the next one labeled as "damaged goods"

Depends on the QB drafted. Ideally sitting is never a bad option. That said if mid season it’s looking like he should start, I’d throw him in then as that will be the perfect time the oline is finding its groove. But there is a good change the oline is balls next year too so really there are too many variables...in general though a year to sit behind and be mentored by a guy like TB would be beneficial.

Watch all the film on him. Otherwise you are literally just basing it on random plays you may or may not see correctly.

Unfortunately I have a bad feeling about the next three years. Most notably, I believe the coaching staff will allow Teddy to play out his contract here. Hopefully I am wrong, but I am expecting the Panthers to suck for 3 years while accumulating high draft picks to THEN draft the QB of the future in 2023. I think that the current good teams (i.e. Seahawks, Chiefs) drafted well during those losing years and built a solid team before plugging in a QB (and continue drafting well afterwards).

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
