for those that don't like Lance

What would you prefer to do?  Lets assume Trevor, Zach, and Justin are off of the board.

Sign a guy in a later round? If so who?  If you answer is Jones in the second, give us a second name for when he isn't there.

Sign a different free agent QB?  Who? Build around Teddy? 

Its easy to say what you won't do, its easy to say a certain QB won't work, honestly more than half don't.  At some point though you have to decide on someone, so lets hear it.

Wait until next year to draft a QB? who?

 

Personally if like Fields and/or Wilson I'm looking to trade to 3, and yes I'm willing to give up multiple first and/or a player like CMC.

If I like Lance, I'm trying to get 5.

That’s the key sentence there, it’s all going to depend whether the Panthers like him...if they do, he is going to be the pick.  If they don’t like him, don’t pick him just because he’s a QB, select whatever other player you’re more comfortable with, there’s plenty of talent available and so many holes to fill on this team.

As a fan without any responsibility you can say whatever you want. Why not say you will give up more to get Lawrence? It's easy when it's just words.

but the problem with fans is a year from now they will say "I told you so when things don't work" but in reality they never had the courage to who they did like from the start.

Its easy to take the field, GMs don't have that luxury.

If option B is another backup level QB, hard pass. We can sign a 1 year backup to start and not waste a draft pick this year and next.

If we want and can afford a QB we like then they need to go get them or be prepared for a cheap rental QB hell. They did this to themselves, Teddy should never have been signed.

This may catch a lot of flak, but I could see Lance going back to the #3 QB on draft boards. He’s run a pro offense, has a hell of an arm, and can run the ball at a very high level. 
 

The only question is the lack of competition that he had to face in the FCS. I for one prefer Lance over Fields.

Honestly there is a good chance there are teams with him 3rd.  People get this idea that all teams agree, they don't.

Chances are all of the teams probably have Trevor first.  I'm guessing teams start to differ when you talk about 2,3,4, and 5.  There could easily be a team that has Jones 4th.  All it takes is one team to draft our of order so to speak.

This is why you don’t win meaningless games at the end of the season in the middle of a rebuild we you need a QB. 
 

You have to come out of this draft with 

Lance, Fields, or Wilson. Although I have questions about Fields and Wilson. 

 

I agree, I hate this idea of constantly trying to make it work with some later round "gem"

I know people hate giving up a perceived sure thing in a non-QB first round pick but if you don't have a QB it doesn't matter.

That post from Brugler about how the scouts are feeling about the top of the QB class is exactly why Ive got Trask at 3/4th QB right there with Lance. I had a feeling Fields would drop.

When a Trask is outperforming with sometimes lesser talent it shines a light on all these guys like, how come YOU couldnt throw for 4125+yrds and 43 touchdowns after a standout previous year.

I like Lance though.

I am psyched to get Lance at 8, but this draft could go many ways. I also am of the opinion that if we move up, 5 is where we need to get to.

If we stand pat and don't get a QB at 8, I'm all for sending our 3rd rounder to NY for Darnold. Take Farley or Surtain II at 8 and an OT in round 2.

    • Gonna have to strongly disagree with you here. Here are the last 20 Super Bowls - only two of them IMO had QB that didn't play like Superman to get them there/win the game/both, and that was Peyton in 2015 and Ben in 2005. Even then they both had that ability, Peyton was just old and Ben young. That said, there were flashes in the pan like Foles in 2017 and (to a lesser degree) Flacco in 2012. But even counting that, it's 4/20. 20% odds aren't good enough and Bryce was absolutely drafted at #1 to be a guy that elevates an entire team and plays like Superman. If he can't do that then it's a failed pick, full stop. Being a poor man's Teddy doesn't cut it for a #1 overall and that's true for any team, not just Carolina.
    • the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense. 
    • The Panthers aren't building a Bryce Young roster. Alabama didn't recruit personnel to fit a Bryce Young scheme. Canales' approach is to build an NFL roster (which they didn't have last season) and then cater his scheme and playcalling to what the players do best. The team is not pigeon holing itself into an offense that doesn't fit any other QB. Their goal this off-season was to provide NFL average or better talent to the offense - period. Very little to do with matching personnel for  Bryce Young's skillset or lack thereof.
