Who do you think will be the Panthers 2021 starting QB?

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.

Wilson, Fields or Lance as it stands. No idea how those chips fall

  If we somehow sign Watson, do we remove the "Keep Pounding" from inside his jersey collar?

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.

Rookies sitting has become less and less of a thing.

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.
