by his own admission he didn't opt out because of covid, he said plainly himself that he opted out to "prepare for the NFL draft on his own." go look it up.

And he looked significantly worse in the one game he played last year. 

I shudder to think what he's fuged up mechanically working out on his own all year.

Everyone is taking that 1 picture of him and deciding he is dumpy and slow but if you watch him play that isn't true. He makes good decisions, is elusive and moves well in the pocket. In college guys don't focus on football alone and aren't pushed like in the NFL. He wont ever look like Cam but he doesn't need to. And if we pick up Jones and he ends up being a good backup then he was on a rookie contract and cheap, no huge deal. Versus given up to 5 or 6 first round picks between players and picks for a known quantity. Our system isn't built around a dual threat QB but a highly accurate quick thinking smart QB who is elusive in the pocket. He has a good deep ball and can make all the throws and understands the game.  It is very hard to find an athletic QB who has all those qualities as well. 

The fact that Houston wants so much for Watson suggests how difficult and rare it is find a guy who checks all the boxes.

I don't need a Cam but you have to be Atleast as athletic as a Burrow Jones or Herbert.  And I totally don't understand what team you were watching last year.. There were alot of design QB runs and Draws also some RPO plays all in this offense...  I don't see a good offense going forward in today's NFL without RPO and QB run plays that really make defenses fear the play action pass...

If we had a Superior oline Mac Jones would probably do decent here we already have good weapons . 

That same thing had been said about Teddy Bridgewater. 

I know that Cosell's mouth isn't a prayer book, but when someone like him calls Jones a "bad athlete" who has "almost no ability to play outside structure whatsoever," I tend to listen, because that's strong language.

At least Teddy has some mobility.

This is the Panthers were talking about not New England. Alot might be an extreme exaggeration. Teddy toothpick Bridgewater didn't run much which is why he had success when he did. It was not typical of his pass it short philosophy.  I am sure Jones would be that successful if not more. Is he my first choice, no, but he won't be a bad choice if we pick him.  If we pick early we can roll the dice again.  If we draft late next year then we might have our guy .

I'd rather draft Micah Parsons at #8 than Mac Jones and I absolutely do NOT want to draft an off the ball LB in the top 10.

If we stay at 8 I am 99.9% sure Lance (or possibly Fields) will be there.  In the statistical abnormality that all 4 are gone then trading back is the only answer

I'm significantly less sold on Fields or Lance being there, but I 100% agree that if it's not QB we should be trading down if the opportunity presents itself. IF we make a non-QB pick then the only two positions that make sense to me is LT or shutdown CB. But if we're sitting on the clock at #8 still needing a QB with none available that we want, then we probably need to be trying to secure an extra 1st in '22 because we're likely having these same QB conversations leading up to next year's draft and may need additional trade ammo to have a shot.

Dude QBs are going 1 through 4.  Count on it.

If we aren’t picking in the top 4 you are looking at Jones, Trask or Mond which IMO isnt really an answer to our QB problem.

Maybe Jones can be serviceable but he is probably the worst athlete at QB in the NFL if so.

It doesn’t matter we are trading for Watson

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
