Yep we had a franchise QB and ran him into the ground. If Herbert fell to us it has been stated we would have drafted him. Drafting a QB early that drops to us doesn’t mean we have to avoid getting any kind of help at LT? Why do people think this? We should absolutely get one in the 2nd to compete with Scott and Erving. We have an anchor at RT which we are investing money in and picked up to G/Cs in Erving and Elf and resigned Miller. Our line was ranked 18 last year so slightly below average, but middle of the pack. Throw in a 2nd round LT (very deep class) with our FAs, Moton, and Paradis and it should be even better next year. 

Why do you people think that drafting a QB in the top 5 or even top 10 automatically improves a team? History has shown that these picks have a high failure rate, because you’re drafting a guy ranked by position not overall. Take Zach Wilson for instance, projected to be the the second overall pick. Now seriously, you’re gonna tell me he’s the second most talented player in the draft?

It’s the simple fact that we don’t have an established player at the most important position in sports. All I’m saying is if a player we like FALLS to us at 8, we should draft him. Not draft one just to do it. If we aren’t high on Mac or Lance and they are there at 8 than pass. If we are high on Fields and he actually makes it to 8 draft him. If our staff isn’t sold on him the grab a LT and I’ll be happy.

Hot take: Fields goes #2 overall to the Jets.

A lot of teams blowing smoke to the media trying to get him to drop now we hear the narrative starting to come back around on him.

And when did our Darnold trade talk with the Jets start to heat up? Fields’ pro day.

Thats who they should draft. I mean, really, Jax should be considering Fields.

Is there any actual news about Fields’ pro day itself and how it went?

No media was allowed but the tidbits that are leaking are saying it was just like the first.  His arm strength was displayed on a 60 yard pass running to his left and he made the exact same throws as the first except flipped.  I doubt it changed anyone’s mind either way.   
 

after spending the greater part of the week listening to various podcasts breaking down the prospects I cannot remember a qb coming out that was had so much disagreement.   One faction swears he cannot process the field fast enough and relies on his first read.  The other say that’s just how the offense is.   I am not smart enough to know either way but something to me does feel off about him.   Northwester gave him all sorts of problems

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
