What are we doing in the draft?

Seems all the reports that came out recently are right- Panthers dont like Fields/lance. Panthers hot for Darnold. 

They suck at keeping things in house, might as well put a mic'd up cameras, will not change much...

Do you have the links about the Panthers not liking Lance and Fields?

So they may draft Lance/Fields still......and keep teddy? Not much surpises me in this new world, but all that would. 

So the one thing my guy has always been consistent on with us is that Teddy is not going to be a member of this team at the start of next season. Teddy will not be a Panther. If Fields fell to 8 I wouldn't rule it out, but it seems unlikely.

Not that I’ve heard. I don’t get the sense the Panthers love the quarterbacks besides Lawrence and Wilson.

Tannehill was much better after 3 seasons not 2. After year 2, you can say that they were very close. It’s year 3 when Darnold dropped and honestly, I don’t know how to compare Darnold to anyone because his supporting cast on offense was truly awful. Tannehill in year 3 had Lamar Miller, Jarvis Landry, Mike Wallace, Hartline and Clay. I could argue that the skilled positions for Tannehill were better at every spot.

Again, I get that Tannehill improved but he and Darnold were almost identical after two years and Miami was actually adding guys like a rookie Landry in year 3 while the Jets were cleaning house for draft picks.

I do think it’s fair to compare the two in the first two years and I think it’s also fair to say that it’s not fair to compare year 3.

Will Darnold jump with us? I have no clue but I’d give him a chance. Do I think we overpaid? Yes. Am I glad we didn’t part with anything meaningful this year and future 1sts?

Fun fact though and another difference.  

Sam Darnold today, is still a year younger than rookie Tannehill was.

Yep. Also almost a year younger than Burrow. 

Played LB for first two years at San Clemente (filled in for two starts at QB).

Junior year, played 4 games due to injury. Dude had 106 pass attempts going into his senior year of high school.  Started two years at USC.

So basically he only had 3 years LIFETIME experience as a QB before being drafted by the Jets and was forced to start with no weapons and poor coaching. Recipe for disaster for anyone let alone a guy that new to the position.

    • I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results. 
    • All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.
    • but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
