Do a sign and trade with Samuel.  Detroit gets Samuel as a valuable weapon for whatever QB they draft at #7, we get Stafford, we keep our #8 pick and take Surtain or Sewell, whichever is available.  Win, win, win. Never going to happen but a man can dream...

Draft a QB if he sucks draft another the next year. 

This again^, but I think you have to give them 2-3 years, QBs take time to develop. 

Draft a guy, put him in a position to be succesffull (good coaching and good teamates) and give him time.  If he doesn't work out you do it again.

Everyone wants to go cheap (draft a guy later) or look for the sure thing (sign a vet), any vet that is easily available is so because he isn't that great.

Stafford > Watson (but lose CMC + two 1st Rnd picks)

jus sayin..

This is how people should look at these different scenarios.  These moves don't happen in a vacuum.

Lets assume you give up a second for Stafford and 3 1st and a player for Watson.

Watson + 2nd or Stafford + three 1st and CMC

Watson or Lance + CMC + three 1st and + $100m in cap space over 5 years (5 year cost difference between the two)

Stafford or Lance +2nd + $38m in cap space over 2 years (2 year difference between the 2)

You are venturing into opportunity cost in evaluating these things, and that is verboten here.  Everything must be evaluated in a vacuum.......it is written in stone somewhere.

I sometimes think Panther fans suffer a variation of Stockholm Syndrome from the prior regime.

What is with this owner's obsession with bringing in these NFC North losers?  Teddy was a loser in Minny as a starter, and he's a loser here.  Stafford is a closer with the Lions, manages to snatch defeat from jaws of victory and miss the playoffs, and would be an overpaid loser here.

 

Make Watson happen no matter the cost.  There is no alternative

I'd rather find the long term solution to our problem than keep stringing "bridge" QB's through the organization.  Make no mistake, that's all Stafford would be.  YES.  He would make us better.  But when you really need a long term solution at QB, that's actually NOT a good thing.

This draft class currently has the appearance of a VERY strong class at QB.  We have a relatively high pick.  Get a QB.  Let TB5 do his thing until the staff feels like our guy is ready than throw him in.  If he fails, try again.

I'm not that big a fan of Stafford, but it is fair to note he wouldn't cost as much to get.

He still might cost too much though. Depends on what the Lions want.

The closest comparison I can find was the Alex Smith trade to the Redskins.  Which cost a 3rd and a player.

The player was Kendall Fuller, a young decent slot corner at the time, so you can guess how to translate that to what that draft compensation would equal.  My guess is a 4th at best because he only had one year in the league at the time and was drafted as a 3rd round pick.

Okay, that's true, but there is no getting rid of Teddy now. His play last year and the size of his contract means he stays with the Panthers. So, while it's not $53M for the QB position, it's still near $40M, which is still too high if your QB1 isn't named Mahomes, Rodgers, etc.

We can get rid of him if they chose to get rid of him. It may not make the most sense on paper but we are still in the rebuilding, so cutting bait might actually make sense if you have no plans on letting him see the field.

      Night before the game

      I don't know; I think it's close for the first half and if it gets ugly it'll be in the second half.

      The thing is, I feel like last Sunday validated what I have been saying about Bryce.  And this is why I'm somewhat optimistic. He isn't a good QB, let me make that clear before the brigade storms into this thread, but the biggest difference between Bryce before last week and Bryce in the second half of last season was his lack of confidence and willingness to make plays downfield.  Last week was the first time this season he's had that "F It" mentality, the same he had when he came back last year when he just looked and played care-free (in a good way; he had a positive energy).  We need him to keep that energy the rest of the season because if he does, we can win games. It ain't always about being good.  Hell Jameis Winston isn't good (better than Bryce, but still), but he plays with such a confidence that his teams always have a chance.   If Bryce is down to be as aggressive as he was last week, I think the opportunities will be there against a weak and injured 49ers defense.

      I don't have a great feeling about this game, but after last night I have a real good feeling about our chances to win the division. I think we might actually have a fair amount of wiggle room if Baker is out for an extended period of time, especially if he misses one or both of the games against us. 9-8 could very well win the NFC South this year. Hell, depending on how long Mayfield is out I wouldn't be shocked to see 8-9 win it.
