It’s kind of worth a thought , remember back when Washington took rg3 and Kirk cousins in the same draft ? They needed a qb and they knew drafting one could end up with a bust ,  so they drafted two which they hit hold on Kirk cousins which is one of the best qbs in the nfl . 
 

as I’m sipping my black hazelnut coffee it brings me to a point , we need a quarterback and we need one now , so at 8 we take lance or mac jones and in the 3rd  or 4th we’ll take another qb that has potential like Jamie Newman or mond , or who ever you think can have a potential shot as a qb that’s high risk high reward , the chances of both sucking are slim , at worst you got a starter and a back up , we need a qb and we need one now ! Also another good thing is trade value if Mac jones looks amazing and is our starter but Newman has on fire in the preseason we can trade him for a higher value draft pick which is always good economics of buying low and selling high .

the problem with getting a qb in freeagency is we are often buying high instead of buying low if you buy a free agent qb get someone that was crap on a crap team like darnold or dalton and buy low .

Agree with most of this aside from Kirk being one of the best. Newman/Mond in the 3rd or later could make for a cheap backup for a while while they also develop into a potential starter. The first round QB would need to be a Jones or Fields/someone ready to start sooner than a Lance and we would have also needed to have traded away Teddy. You wouldn’t want to draft a 3rd stringer in the 3rd round (5th-7th might be acceptable).

The only problem I would see is is having too many holes to fill (OT, OG, MLB, QB, CB, FS, and a second DT with depth). It’s more than likely a luxury we don’t have at this moment...

Kirk Cousins is not one of the best QB's in the NFL. 

Also, we have too many roster needs to draft multiple QB's in a gamble to hit on one. This is a good interior OL draft and we have severe needs in that area. Much better off spending our 2nd-7th round picks on guys like that than gambling on longshot QB's.

He does not have #8 value, but if their is a feeding frenzy, he could go off the board if there is a run.  I would certainly expect him to be gone by mid first round, and that is reaching.

Dude no such thing as reaching Watson didn’t go high in the draft same with rodgers and fricking mahomes dude there is no such thing as reaching dude , what do you base reaching off mock drafts ? Come on bro . Listen , if you like a player you need to take that player

      The Panthers Huddle Offseason Special

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      The Panthers Huddle is usually just propaganda …this one was actually good im feeling good about the Morgan and Canales marriage  the proof is ‘in the pudding’ however  …and have to remember a first time head coach and players who have never played together before but they can’t possibly be worse than last year  the wild card to all this,  too,  is Young  I wish I felt better about him but I don’t  Morgan says he wants ‘dawgs’ not ‘dogs’ I.e. pit bulls vs poodles…I see young as the latter, not the former  Regardless, life is full of surprises…maybe he is a lot more than I see.  I’m not a scout or coach

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By mountainpantherfan2 · Posted

      There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.
