Panthers will try to Trevor. Big time.

It would take an insane amount of draft capital for the Jags to give up the pick. The Jets? Maybe they could have been talked into it. But the Jags GM is smart. He's not trading Trevor. 

 

It's time for Panthers fans to face the music. The minute we signed Teddy we screwed our chances of getting Trevor. 

This. 

 

Here's hoping we can find a Russell Wilson in the later rounds.

How is the team going to fill out the critical holes on the roster (SS, LT, C, LB S, CB) without a 1st round pick in 2022 and 2023 and no 2nd round pick in 2021 and 2022? If such a trade did go down and the other team had a good/great GM we could end creating the next great dynasty in the league while we remain a mediocre team since Trevor would have a mediocre supporting cast. I like finding hidden gems in the draft, but it's a lot easier to build a solid team with good high draft choices (1st and 2nd round picks) than low choices, undrafted players, and cast offs from other teams.

cause if you draft Lawrence its a 10+ year investment

We've got too many holes for Lawrence to come in and magically take us to the promised land. If we moved up to get him, we'd have to give up way too much draft capital. To make matters worse, by the time we got a #1 pick again (2024) Trevor would be heading into the 4th year of his deal, about the time when most GM's start negotiating an extension. His salary would go from a manageable figure to probably 35-45 million per year and eat up a big chunk of the salary cap. Then we'd have to start cutting guys and/or rely on guys on rookie deals to keep spending down. We need to began making plans to build a perennial contender and forget throwing away draft picks to acquire Trevor Lawrence.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
