When is the last time we drafted a left tackle that stayed healthy his rookie year?

This is my only problem with drafting a tackle at 3. They never stay healthy for us. I think you have to go back to Gross.

LT or OL in general should have been addressed when we had a real QB. Now people want to address it to protect dog poo, this is my main issue. How many wins will Sewell get us next season or the season after with T2Y?

He wouldnt. It would mean a 4 year rebuild instead of a 3 year.

My wife and I are huge panthers fans and I don't know if I can watch Teddy for 2 more years. If that happens we will lose a ton of fans and revenue. I would not jump to another team, probably just move into not caring or really watching anymore

Teddy doesn't start next year regardless of the draft.

My unpopular opinion....we could actually be decent with PJ...and way more watchable.

PJ is more exciting and probably a better option than Teddy at this point, but I doubt he is the future here.

I agree. I don't think he is the future, but it would be interesting to see what he and a healthy CMC could do with our receivers.

I also think he is a better option then some of the rookie qbs being discussed. Not all but some.  I would be tempted to take BPA at 3 and giving PJ a shot then reaching for a qb thats a 5050 and depriving ourselves of a top player.

Don't compare Sewell to those bums. Who thinks like this anyways? Cam was always hurt so we shouldn't draft a qb. Our great MLBs always got concussions so don't draft anymore linebackers. This is about the dumbest thing I've read on here

In retrospect would it have been a bad idea to draft a qb while Cam was here? Or mlb?

I mean its always worked out for the Packers right?

No. No it wouldn't. We've already partially seen it and it's being barely competitive against middling competition and losing against better teams. Also, IMO the last thing I think this offense needs is another reason for Teddy to throw it at or behind the LOS. Defenses have it figured out and the entire load can't be placed on CMC.

With respect to your second paragraph Teddy may be better at this exact moment but not by much and with absolutely zero upside. I feel like a change at QB is absolutely needed but I trust the staff to make the decision there, be it drafting someone or rolling with PJ and someone better. I was already as disenchanted with Panthers fandom as I've ever been before this season started and seeing Teddy lining up as a start for another season will just be the stake in the heart. It's just so goddamn boring and predictable not to mention easy to defend.

      The whole Keegan Michael Key thing is being over blown. It was a 2 minute zoom call. Rico's celebration etc. was like a half an hour distraction.  A little bit of levity every now and then isn't the end of the world. I'm not even that mad at the Victory Monday. They won a tough game on the road and Rico and the oline were getting banged up pretty good. However, if there was a lackadaisical lack of preparation, that's on DC for not getting on that ass. Also, I cringe whenever I hear "leadership council." This is the NFL, not camp Wakanda.

      Yea I agree I gotta give it to Morgan for finally drafting a player who might develop and become a good player with the team. After years of Scott Fitterer’s garbage I’m hopeful they’re drafting at least a few players who will last more than 2 years on the team.

      I've seen QBs come back and succeed. If Darnold and Mac Jones can do it, Howell isn't necessarily dog poo. I'm not saying he can thrive, but I'm also not saying it's impossible.  Many of the problems these kids have are based upon the fact that they are immediately thrust into the spotlight before they're ready. They should be sitting, just like in the old days. They should primarily be sitting and learning, not being put under a buzzer where the primary focus of the higher-ups is throwing poo at a wall and seeing what sticks before a rookie contract runs out. I think this is definitely the case where it's obvious that it's a mind thing--bad decisions and/or learning at a slower pace--than a lack of physical tools. Sometimes different people, theories and concepts are coming so fast that the kid is screwed from the start, and we never get to see a legit sample size because things keep changing too fast.  So I'm not necessarily phased by being passed around "like candy." If they're some good bones there, we may as well take a look. Being in QB hell, you shouldn't dismiss QBs out of hand. Some of these guys are still young. I would bet that if Howell were in Minnesota or Green Bay, he'd be better. Darnold is legit better, and Malik Willis looked like a different QB the last time that we saw him. Lance, Howell, Levis, they're all guys I'd look at.  To the OP's greater point, I just think they're actually are some guys in this class that could possibly be legit, and it's not as bone-dry as some are assuming.  Even Drew Allar might one day be legit.
