Yes, you are right

...the 49ers managed to navigate the situation with a lower draft position and yet Tepper’s GM and $65 million coach couldn’t 

Well to be fair, they gave up a lot, probably too much, but they are at a different point on the development spectrum than we are. We're rebuilding. They're trying to win a Super Bowl right now. In some sense, one could argue that it makes sense for them to bet the farm that a rookie QB might be able to do what Garropolo failed to do. I wouldn't have done it, and I certainly wouldn't have done it if I were in the Panthers' position. It's too risky! Frisco had better be right!

The Bridgewater trade rumours were at the same time we were in the running for Stafford and Watson. 

You can't trade him away if you don't have a backup plan.

Grier and Walker aren't NFL calibre players. You can't go into the Draft NEEDING to draft a player - that's how you end up with a bust.

 

half of the qbs starting arent "NFL caliber" qbs. their still starting though, panthers need to run with pj walker for the time being and go from there.

    • Bain is a beast. I won't deny it. I mentioned it in another thread, but one of Mesidor's sacks was only because Bain shoved Mesidor's body at the quarterback like he was bowling with him. I have never seen anything like it. I hate that the Bucs drafted him. That being said, Bain has to be perfect in order to compete week to week. He plays a high contact position in a game where the most athletic and lengthy have the advantage. I think he will still be a force, but his impact can be minimalized with right blockers and schemes. Freeling has the opposite problem. He's a long limbed, athletic puppy. He has ALL of the advantages physically. He just needs to add strength to his body and improve his technique. In two seasons, Freeling could end up being regarded as one of the best LTs, if not THE best in the game. That's where his potential is. Both have the potential to boom, but Bain has the higher probability to bust. Just looking at it logically.
    • Again, KB did nothing wrong. The play was reversed after it was obvious that KB touched him when he was down. The video shows a ref 5 feet away who should have stopped the play. KB knew he already hit him while the CB was down. I watched that play and I saw he was down and knew we’d win the challenge. Just like when the ref told Cam he doesn’t get those calls yet, it did make me wonder if the ref swallowed the whistle since interception returns are a play where QBs can take a big hit. That was right around the “player safety” increase. Cam got hurt because the ref didn’t call the play dead even when it was ridiculously obvious the CB was touched down and the quick review and reversal showed that.
