The core we have is still melting down in Chernobyl.

But seriously, the overall roster isn't THAT bad, but it's not competing without a QB. Put Teddy back out there and we're right back in this same situation again next year. Likely sitting with a pick in the bottom portion of the top 10 drooling over the QBs we can't draft.

Panthers are 100% trading down IMO.

Think about it.  Panthers could have easily beat this deal.  We have the #8 overall pick.  The fact that we didn't tells me:

A) We are 100% comfortable waiting out the Deshaun Watson situation.  And if we can somehow accumulate future picks if this lasts past the draft?  Then so be it.  But we clearly expect Watson to be available at some point.

B) We didn't think, given the state of our team, it was worth trading up a lot for one of the rookies.  And that is okay.  Difference between trading for Watson and trading for the potential of Wilson/Lance/Fields.

I get the frustration.  But I think we need to relax.  The coaches did a phenomenal job last year and at the end of the day, coaching always prevails.  We will find our QB, it might not be this year but it will happen.  You can take me to the bank on that too.

If we DO draft a QB at #8, then we're probably talking Lance vs. Jones.  And if that is the case, I want Jones.  He gets a lot of undue crap.  Yes his ceiling is questionable, undoubtedly his biggest flaw, but his mental/field processing + accuracy is tops in this draft, even ahead of Lawrence.

But I see us trading down or selecting a LT/DB.  MAYBE a wide receiver... I think people are sleeping on that possibility.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
