Carolina Panthers

cap space: $16 million

2021 draft positioning: Carolina has the eighth and 39th overall picks

Analysis: The Panthers reportedly offered their first-round pick-plus for Matthew Stafford. That doesn't mean they'll do the same for Wentz, but it's at least evidence they're being aggressive in pursuit of a new signal-caller. The pairing of Wentz and up-and-coming offensive coordinator Joe Brady, who interviewed for the Eagles' head-coaching job a couple weeks back, could be an interesting melding of the minds. Teddy Bridgewater remains under contract in Carolina and is scheduled to make $17 million this season

Dude has a SB ring and $78m (before tax) in his bank account. He's doing fine.

I’m sure he loves wearing that ring and thinking about how daddy Foles won it for him. That would eat my soul if I thought I was a MVP caliber QB

Let me wrap my head around this one...

Trading for an injury plagued former MVP caliber QB a year after cutting an injury plagued ACTUAL MVP QB? Good grief, this would be the very definition of NFL desperation.

Some team will think they can fix Wentz. 

Right or wrong, nobody in the league thinks they can fix Cam, hence the reason he signed for almost nothing last year.

Let's clarify one thing while we're having this discussion...

"In on every deal" doesn't mean we're going to make an offer on every single player that comes available. It just means we're going to check in on all of them.

If we think they have value, we'll evaluate it. If we evaluate and think "not worth it" we'll do nothing. If we see something we like though, we'll make an offer.

And don't get too hung up on  "aggressive" either. Just because we say we're "aggressive" doesn't mean we'll overspend.

Right now I'd say that team might be the Eagles. They hired Nick Sirianni on part because he was connected to Frank Reich.

But if not the Eagles, then possibly Reich himself.

I just don't see it.  The upside on Wentz is when he is good, he is very good.  He could lead a team to a Super Bowl.  But when he is bad, he doesn't deserve to be on the field.  He could lead the same team to a top 10 draft choice, as well. 

I've seen him mentioned most realistically with the Colts, Broncos, and even the Pats.  But they seem to be mentioned with any veteran QB who becomes available.

As comparing him to Stafford, until this year, it would be hard to say the trains they were each engineering had the same horsepower.  The Eagles roster has been consistently better than Detroit's.  If I had to take one of them, I'd take Stafford.  While his upside is probably not as high, his downside has not been as low, and his norm is slightly higher, IMO, and he has been more consistently near that norm.  I'm not even sure we have ever seen Wentz's "norm."

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
