1) Fields or Lance falls to #8 -- take them, Sam is still a huge ''?'' adding a LT doesn't resolve the ''?'' that he is, don't pass on the talent that Fields / Lance possess

Fields and Lance are huge question marks too. The Panthers have a chance to take an elite LT prospect. They need to take that chance to protect Sam or anyone else they put in at QB.

I don't want to go with anybody that much older.

Me either, just think that we may be looking at it as a possibility.

Much prefer to build the team correctly, that said, if you can't get the guy you want, and you feel the team is close (DEN when Manning was brought in) I can see signing off on it...especially Fitts.

To me the interesting thing is what do we do about the offensive scheme. The article said it would be an open comp. So if thats the case then its not going to be tailored to what Sam can do best. 

 

So does that actually give us the best chance of success?? Doesn't seem like it

Well, we'd just come out of a long-term relationship and went right into a rebound relationship. Seeing that was going nowhere, we dove headfirst into the dating pool and got rejected by a couple of hotties that all our friends thought were great. When none of that worked out, we may have done the smart thing and looked over at the low-mileage one that used to be hot but got treated badly. 

Sometimes that doesn't work out. Sometimes you end up happily hitched for years and years to come.

My question is, why not wait to trade for Sam until after seeing what happens with the QBs in the draft first?

Scared of getting left out in the cold again is my guess, but IMO it likely means were weren't sold on any of them after the 1st 2.

Just a hunch though.  Or maybe they have the likely players at 8 as being MUCH higher on their boards then Fields or Lance or Mac?

If they have them graded in the 20's or later, and Sewell, Slater, and Pitts are in the top 10, I kinda get it.

Either way, I'm going to pull for him, he's got a good situation he's walking into...can't hope that it works out for both him and the team.

It's Sams job to lose.

He was a fallback though, as evidenced by the 49ers' trade up spurring this decision and the notion that we may still take a QB.

Read the story. They initiated the trade talks long before that trade happened, and had Douglas been more willing to move forward it likely would have gotten done sooner.

I'm not against taking a top qb prospect. I'm not going to get to emotional about any of them but it would be fun to watch it unfold and creates trade ammo.

All of the qbs in the draft are huge question marks. Bigger question marks than Darnold as we don't know if they can do anything at all in the next level. At least Darnold has a baseline they can analyze.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
