I'm not saying I want Jones at #8, but having him over Lance is not nearly as outlandish as some of you are making it.  Jones mechanically is so far ahead of Lance it isn't even funny.  Lance has a higher upside but I'd argue Jones' floor is a lot higher than Lance's.

With Lance, you truly just don't even know what you are getting over a very athletic QB.

This right here ^^^

I love the internet.

What does an ex-NFL QB know about QB play? Nothing, when it doesn't fit with your narrative.

Or maybe go watch some film...they even covered the pro style aspect when Wentz was coming out of that school as well.

Do some homework, just because a former player comments, doesn't mean it's always backed by research. There are plenty of terrible takes from former players in the media.

It is either Lawrence, Wilson (neither which are happening) or fold and try again next year. Jones or Lance @ 8 (or even in the first) would be a dumbass decision.

It is not good to be desperate. Fact of the matter is, Carolina trotting out a QB markedly better than Bridgewater in 2021 is slim to none.

Maybe try to hit on Ehlinger in the 4th or something.

IF we decide not to QB at 8, there will be a lot of perennial all-pro talent sitting on the board. Gonna be a hoot to watch.

Indeed. Really hoping we don't take a QB because to me outside of Lawrence and Wilson, it ain't good.

I agree that anyone other than those 2 at #8 will be a reach, but I hate the idea of rolling with TB again. I feel doubly hurt because I gave him the benefit of the doubt when we signed him and he poo all over me.

They could still trade for somebody like Darnold. Or sign of free agent like Trubisky.

I know those aren't popular options but if the alternative is Bridgewater...

If that's the path and Sewell or Slater is there, that's definitely who I want.

Agree! From a position value, LT is right behind QB. Having a 5th year option on one would be great. Also, Farley and Surtain can't be overlooked. Pride needs more time to develop, and Jackson, I think, is ultimately better suited as nickel due to his size. Drafting a lock down corner and moving him there would be upgrading 2 starters at once.

I'd much rather have Jones over Lance.

      That might balance out because apparently the Texans O-line is ass. He did manage to throw for almost 300 yards the last two weeks though.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By frankw · Posted

      Don't forget that Rhule actually took Tepper's offer to the Giants and they balked. He was just seeking the big payday which should have been a red flag. I have no idea how much time Tepper spends within the Panthers building. I do know that he in the past has been too much involved. He supposedly held weekly meetings with Reich. Then after firing Reich Tepper he held a press conference where he did virtually all the talking and made it about himself. Before that Tepper went out of his way to bloviate to the press about how he spoke to Bryce Young months before the draft and directly told him he wanted him to be a Panther. Then he went to the well of his selling point about Bryce being a point guard and we wouldn't need to invest in elite weapons. The guy thinks and talks like he knows what he's doing. At the end of the day the franchise has been in the gutter in large part due to he and his wife's involvement. It is what it is. Appreciate the convo.

      Unlike most of you, I do not assume the FO thinks he is beyond repair.  For the first time since 2017 the Panthers have a chance to be in the playoffs. One more game will tie them for the most wins since 2018, 2 more wins will put them at 8 wins - the most in 8 years.  Hate all you want but a big part of that success has come from Bryce. He got them in the hole with Miami but he got them out of it as well and was a big part of that win. Against Dallas, he played very well throughout the game plus he converted on a 4th down in the final minutes putting them in FG range for the win. He may not have had a good game against the Packers but he did convert on two 3rd down conversions in the final minutes to help seal the win and of course the Falcons game was his best yet. Tepper likes him and they have a huge investment in him as well. You don't just throw that away unless you have something concrete lined up behind him - which I just don't see.
