Teddy is better than Minshew. Minshew’s stats are from garbage time. Panthers fans, please. I know we are bad at QB but going from a bad QB to another bad QB won’t solve anything. 

Paying Minshew would be a lot cheaper than keeping Teddy on that contract. Not saying he is that much better but that contract is ridiculous

Not trying to argue that Minshew is the best option or that he is better than Teddy. Just something I saw on Minshew and wanted to post. 

Tommy Garrett from Pro Football Network:

In his 2019 rookie season, Minshew was 6-6 as a starter but outplayed their record. Remember, wins are not a QB stat, no matter how much people try to say otherwise. In 14 total games, Minshew completed 60.6% of his passes (285 of 470) for 3,271 yards, 21 touchdowns, and just 6 interceptions. That was more touchdowns, a higher QBR (91.2), and half as many interceptions as the 2019 NFL Rookie of the Year Kyler Murray.

No question he struggled last season, but we can point back to the injury he was playing through. Still, there was progression in his sophomore season. Minshew raised his completion percentage by nearly six percent (66.1%), threw for more yards per game (251.0), and raised his QBR (95.9) while under pressure (27 sacks in nine games).

I think we'll grab Mac Jones at 8, but there's a chance that with the serious run on QBs in the top 10, we may see some trades that pushes even more than four QBs off the boards before we get there. If so, look for us to take either LT or Micah Parsons in hopes of swinging back for a second round QB pick.

I think we're very likely to see teams like New Orleans, Denver and even maybe Tampa Bay make some aggressive moves to get QBs. Detroit and maybe even Philadelphia could make picks for QBs considering their tenuous situations there. Even Miami could stay put and snag a QB. It could be just that crazy and leave our brass with some selections that most likely wouldn't be on the board this late.

Trade up for a QB.

Don't care if it's Fields, Wilson, or Lance, just get one. 

Rather we be aggressive on a legitimate QB prospect than twiddle our thumbs. 

With no Franchise QB, your team has no identity. You aren't worth crap and no one cares about your franchise. 

We need a new face now that Cam is gone. 

Make it happen.

Stick @ 8 and if our guy isn't there, try and trade back or take one of the awesome players that fell due to the QB rush.

Patience. Let it all come to you.

They chose the patient route in FA. I'm not sure they'll take the same approach in the 1st round of this draft.

We are not drafting Jones at 8. Hell I don’t even think he goes top 20 and shouldn’t be picked in first

Actually, after today's moves, there's a lot of speculation that Jones won't be there when we pick. He may not make it past #3.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
