It was pretty darn likely. "Imminent" is just that. 

My guess is Fields or Wilson.

I didn't know how that whole saga was gonna play out, but I sure as hell didn't see it ending like this.

I'm never a fan of when Football stories become something other than football stories.

Voted Teddy as it's the most likely option for game 1. 

  • If we draft a QB, they'll probably sit until after our bye week.
  • If we trade for DW (which I still think it possible) he may not be able to play week 1.
  • Like other posters have said, I think Darnold is the most likely non-Teddy option as a week 1 starter at this point.

Panthers trade up with the Jets to number 2 and select Zach Wilson, BYU. Panthers give up 2021 #8, 2022 and 2023 1st round picks. 

3 first round picks for an unproven rookie that played for BYU against minimal competition? I certainly hope not.

The way the league is structured, if you truly want to be successful then you need to draft a QB and hit a home run and maintain other assets to build around him. But I certainly wouldn’t give 3 picks away for a small school prospect. I wouldn’t even do it for Treavor Lawrence. If we doesn’t pan out then we are postponing this rebuild for 3 more years potentially. No thanks.

I'd say zero chance of it being Watson after what we heard from Verge yesterday (not that it seemed all that likely as it was).

If the team drafts a rookie, there's still a pretty good chance that this year's starter is Bridgewater unless they acquire another veteran.

What was said yesterday?

I would not exactly call BYU a small school.  North Dakota State is a small school....

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. 

If Lawrence were somehow the pick, then I think he would start (largely because that would mean we wound up with the #1 pick).  Fields or Wilson could be the week 1 starter if they were selected, but the odds would be slim.  Beyond that the odds go down even more.

People need to remember this was never a one-year rebuild.  Tepper warned us as much.  This was an entire reconstruction of the roster, organization, and philosophy.  TB was brought in as the immediate starter because he knew the offense, essentially given a two year contract with a decision point for a third year if he blossomed into the role and became the answer for the long haul.  It was structured that way, most likely, because everybody realized we had many more needs than just at QB.

Well, everybody except about 30-40% of The Huddle.

Otherwise, find the heir-apparent and let him watch for a bit.  The NFL is faster than college and DBs are generally smarter (with the possible exception of some of ours).  I'm sure it looks even more so from the field, whether between the sidelines on on one of them.

Also, keep in mind our depth chart at QB is basically one deep.  It has been for a couple of years.  Might be nice to have some depth on the depth chart at the position.

We still have a lot more needs than just QB.  Fewer than last year at this time, but still plenty.  Unless the relationship between TB and the team has been slaughtered, the original plan (potentially less the possibility TB is the answer) still looks pretty reasonable.  The cost of breaking the lease with TB this year is pretty stiff, so unless someone is willing to "sublet" the place, he is still here.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
