I am liking Lance more and more. Will be very happy if we get him.

I'm used to the criticism/skepticism.  I was scoffed at last year when I wanted to take some small FCS school safety out of Southern Illinois in the 2nd round.  Boy was I wrong!

Lance is the real deal.  There is a lot to like about him.  Just YouTube his 2019 highlights.  I've embedded it enough around here already. 😀

Lance is Russell Wilson with size. Fitt should love him. He is my favorite QB after Lawrence.

Yep, Russell wouldn't have lasted that long in his draft class if he were 6'3".  Some people put up mental blockers: QBs have to be tall, QBs can't come from FCS schools and so forth.

Dane Brugler thinks Matt Rhule will find Mac Jones intriguing because of his intangibles. And it's worth remembering that Rhule attempted to recruit Jones to Baylor.

On the flipside, when he was asked what he looked for in a quarterback, new GM Scott Fitterer listed arm strength as one of his top characteristics.

Could be some discussion there...

And what intangibles are those exactly?

Youre more than welcome to join the gang. I hope hope hope hope teams 1-7 overlook him or focus on his faults. Its honestly a great fit if Lance lands here, Teddy would be a good teacher/teammate. Plus it wouldnt hurt at all to sit a few games while hes learn the pro life, lance can be a better Cam. But I believe he will drop a nuke whatever his pro-day is, thus hes going top 4. If people can dream about Watson, I can about Lance.

Brugler's exact quote...

A lot of NFL teams consider this a four-quarterback draft with Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Justin Fields and Trey Lance. But over the last four months, Alabama’s Mac Jones has made a strong argument why he should also be included in the first-round discussion. And Matt Rhule and the Panthers will have the unique opportunity to learn more about him this week. How does he respond to coaching? What is his football acumen? Is he a natural leader? In an unprecedented pre-draft process with no combine or facility visits, no other organization will have the hands-on knowledge with Jones that Carolina will gain this week, which is a tremendous advantage. Jones is very average from a physical standpoint, but his intelligence and intangibles are outstanding, which will certainly appeal to Rhule.

Jones is the key prospect to watch this week for Carolina...

The term generally means things like leadership, competitiveness, football knowledge, etc (all things Brugler alludes to here).

If you're talking Arm strength, Wilson has a cannon. Dude flicks it 50+ yards effortlessly.

Valid. Though to be clear, Brugler was talking strictly about players who are at the Senior Bowl.

I'd be pretty happy with Wilson, but few if any believe he'll drop to us unless we trade up.

Agree with a lot of what you are saying here.  The 'chicken little's' here thinking: Trevor#1-Jags, Wilson#2-Jets, Lance#3-Lions (via trade) and Fields#4-Falcons is simply nonsense.  Like we are just going to flapp'n in the wind at #8 with our pants around our ankles.  I can promise people, it will not go down like that.

I dont necessarily think it will go 4 QBs with the first 4 picks. It could easily when teams start trading looking for a QB. I do think those 4 will be gone by 7. So many teams have QB needs and next years class looks weak overall. So if teams want one, and theres a lot of teams that need one, there will be some movement early and often to get one.

Let's keep a few things in mind when looking at who we might pick and who those in front of us might pick.

  • Who is in front of us may well change by the time that pick comes around. 
  • While we generally talk about the "big four" QBs, it is very likely teams don't like all four of them.  For whatever reason, maybe they don't like Wilson, Fields, or Lance.  

This kind of reminds me of the 2018 draft when the so-called experts only talked about the big four in Mayfield, Donald, Allen, and Rosen...

And then the Ravens got Jackson at #31 and is arguably the best of the bunch.

Exactly my thinking, believe Mac Jones might be the pick

    • I dont think you can fire him either but I do wonder what tepper would do if we dont crack 5 wins.   On the flip side we cannot let Dave pick a qb in the draft if his seat is hot.  Its a conundrum for sure.  One of Teppers makings.
    • Hate to say it but we can't fire DC right now. He was basically forced to work with BY as part of his conditions for being hired and hasn't really had the opportunity to get a QB of his own. That's not a good look when you're interviewing new candidates. A coach has to be given the chance to do his job with players that fit what he does and DC hasn't been given that chance. Fire him and you're putting another box on the list to keep coaches from coming here. Plus, Morgan needs to be given another year as well so he can either show he's can have a successful draft or he's a bust as well so the whole damn show can be flipped and started over with a president of football operations and build from there. No more hold overs. Empty the damn building and start with a brand new staff. 
    • It's both column A and column B. Bryce ain't going to make it as an NFL starting QB. At least not here and probably not ever, the physical limitations just can't seem to be overcome consistently. And that's a shame because, well, he's a good kid and I wish it had worked out for him and us. But also, this ain't working out here as a team. We're poorly built from bottom to top. There's no consistency in coaching, there's no team identity, there's no grit, no depth and seemingly little plan or resistance to market influences that get us to buy high and sell low. We have a few guys we call star players that would, well, be starters on other teams, and a crap ton of starters that would be back-ups, bench sitters or free agents outside of this organization. No QB is going to come here and have much success. Much like Rodgers with the Jets, we just don't have fug all for a team. The QB, no matter the pedigree, can't pull us out of the mudhole we have created for ourselves as we've wallowed over the last seven years. No matter how high we draft a QB here, we'd just be planting a seed on rocky soil. It wouldn't survive. Look at Mac Jones and how he has played over three games in San Fran. He was supposed to be a total career washout, another 'Bama Bust. Guy looks like he can handle the game, because he has a well coached, professional team around him. One that has a lot of injured stars, but still fights to win. And you can look at Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, two guys who washed up on our deserted desert island and floundered mightily here. But man, put them on solid teams and they both are living up  to their original draft status. To be perfectly honest, this poo won't change until we, as an organization, change down deep. There has to be a total sea change here. We can't make the owners go away, but we can pressure for them to blow this thing completely up and hire in a handful of consultants, perhaps retired GMs and HCs with winning programs in the N-fuging-FL. Then remake it all. Management, coaching, team, trainers, scouts, even equipment folks. Sorry, I'm tired of this pile of horseshit we call a team. It has just eaten alive the careers of many young athletes and all of us fans since the change in ownership.
