If I need a QB, I’m drafting a QB not a running back throwing the football. If I want a running back, I’ll draft a running back not a running quarterback. 

Fields been able to run fast is a another thing D have to stop, its a modern/huge plus if a QB is able run for a 1st down. But Im not a big Fields guy anyway, just impressed with his time and pro-day he had. Much rather my QB be a 4.4 than a 5 type.

QBs today all can run somewhat. Even Daniel Jones and Trubisky are pretty good runners. End of the day, I want a quarterback who can throw the football. Both Lance and Fields can do that unlike Teddy. I don’t care if Lance ran the 40 or not. All I needed to see, I saw at their pro days throwing the football and I want them both. 

I agree they need to better than 5. Jones was running away form DBs in a couple plays, I had on my O face during.... Russ WIlson and Arod murder Ds with those 3rd and long runs for 1st down.

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
