I want a young QB, and that contract, use that additional cap over the next 3 years to field the best team possible. 

Truly the draft is the best way to go for US. #8 is high enough to get A QB.

People are stuck on this guy and that guy but Jake Dolhomme almost won us a Superbowl.

Pick a QB that you think will be better than a Jake. After surgery Jake just wasn't the same. Avoid QBs who have already been surgically repaired and I think we're good.

THIS draft is full of guys that fit that description. Physical freaks like Lance or Trask may be there at 8 or after 8.

This QB rich draft has quite a bit of potential starters. We could go BPA @8 (defense) and still pick up a good/great young QB by moving up into the mid-bottom of the first with a trade of picks/players.

We could come out on top of all this, but will they do what's logical? Not sure.

You can read the full story of the negotiations in the link. It says Stafford preferred the Rams but didn't decline or nix going to Carolina.

Peter King and others have also confirmed that Stafford had a preference (King saying he was "more keen" on the Rams than the Panthers and others) but nobody's said anything about him not wanting to come here.

PFT isn't always wrong but they're not the best source. Breer is a far superior source for anything behind the scenes.

appreciate the effort however No need to convince me about Breet or anyone else as I didn’t say it 

chris Simms said  directly that he had a close contact connection with Stafford  who said ‘Stafford didn’t want to come to Carolina ‘

I get that.

Simms is full of sh-t on this one though.

The 8 alone was too much for Stafford. 

The report also said SF and Indy both balked at including this year's FRP. So two very competent front offices were not willing to part with the 12th nor the 21st picks, respectively..... 

But we were willing to give up the 8th AND another asset beyond that. Scary.

I really hope Rhule and Fitterer can reel in Tepper, as this seems like a Tepper "I want what I want and I don't care about pricetags" kind of move.

Yep. If the snip of the clip  pops up today  I’ll share it 

I think it is far better for the Panthers to draft their own QBs and groom him their way anyway  as I’m not sure how veterans view their career with a staff that has done nothing    Just fact  not criticism

If this was the case we would've landed Stafford. We had a price we were willing to pay and when the bidding exceeded it we bowed out. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm pretty sure Fitterer was the guy negotiating this deal. Lions brass was actually in Mobile and so was Fitterer.

Rhule would have been occupied with coaching and has said he doesn't want to do the leg work on this stuff anyway. Fitterer probably talk to him about it but that's it.

It was fairly clear he wanted to go to LA and the Rams give him a chance to win now.  Detroit with a classy move to do that IMO.

Maybe Deshaun believes he can revive this Panthers franchise.

Yes he could. He would, and already is a rockstar around here.

Houston should try to show some class. Nobody is just one player away from the Super bowl, move on.

I'm not even talking about location. I'm talking about team situations. The Rams are an elite QB away from being a SB contender. We're probably an elite QB away from competing for a playoff berth. There's a big difference.

I'd say we're at least a quarterback and an offensive line away from that, and potentially more.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      By CRA · Posted

      maybe.  but everything is handpicked by him.  all the soccer coaches he fired.  all the football coaches he fired (minus Ron).  GMs.  all the front office folks.   the plans he makes to build facilities and then not.  Tepper quickly parts with all his handpicked people when they don't produce.  and it's not like Bryce is some lab built QB that you can sort of go back and convince yourself on and blame everyone else around him for why it doesn't work.

      I spit coffee out my nose when I saw this the next morning as I wasn't watching. Not because of the player but because of the execution and who did it. They had to know that the odds of their QB being their at 8 was extremely high and yet they still brought in Cousins and paid him a fortune to be there. Apparently, I'm not there so I don't know, he was also told they are win now which to me makes sense as they have a good roster in general. I could understand it if hey hired a much cheaper journeyman to run this season to give Penix a year to grow into the system but Cousins? That makes zero sense to me and I honestly feel sorry for Penix. That is a horrible way to start his NFL career and it's not his fault. The only thing I have against him is that he's now a Falcon. However, at this specific moment, he's my favorite Falcon. Muhahaha

      Charlotte FC on 3rd HC Panther on 4th HC.  3rd GM.  5th starting QB entering a season.  parted with CMC, Burns, DJ Moore and every big name/star Carolina drafted Tons of shakeup in his front office and corporate staff.  The fans will show more patience with Bryce than Tepper based on what we know of Tepper IMO.
