I hope so. Well, let me clarify that statement - I hope someone other than the Panthers takes Jones over Lance.

Jones and Lance imo are both significantly flawed and for that reason neither will go top 10. These rumors imo are being floated to increase trade value for those picks.

I'd be a little surprised but not shocked. Neither should or would be a first rounder in  typical year. 

Tin foil alert. Hyping qbs might be in many teams best interests in order to push other prospects down the draft

I like how everyone here who has watched a few YouTube highlights thinks they know better than people that actually get paid for this kind of thing. 

Given last years drafting success I have total trust in this teams ability to get the right guy. (despite what we think)

I would love it if LT Sewell fell to #8. Extend Moton and we are set for 4+ years at tackle.

Yep, if Jones is the pick then I will certainly scratch my head but be fully on board and excited to see him

He is not saying that Mac Jones will be a top ten pick. Just that Lance may not be, and Jones may sneak ahead of him.  

In reality Lance isn't you typical top ten QB prospect, he is really a mid to late first round QB prospect in most years.  He is being pushed up because there are many QB needy teams.  Guys like Lance go to teams with established QBs so he can sit for a few years and learn the system.  Top ten QBs are typically considered day 1 starters, Lance starting Day 1 would be a disaster.  Mac Jones is typically an early day 2 QB, he is not boom or bust.  He will either be a good QB day 1 or an eternal Backup.

People who work in a NFL organization sometimes. Easterby and Hurney are 2 easy targets proving we can in fact criticize professionals. The flip side is impressive but man some of the NFL owners have hired some idiots over the years, or just put OK people in really bad spots.

As far as Peter King or any media people? Hell yeah we can. Two words, David Newton. Getting paid for it doesn't make that person an expert, just employed. 

I'm still hoping Rhule and Co can be to team building what they are to team coaching. Fingers crossed.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
