Could be that they're all in on Pitts this year and hoping to get something for Julio while they can.

Also could mean they're ready to take a new quarterback and blow the whole thing up.

Or that they want people to think that 🤔

General rumors and speculation from draft week not necessarily related to the Panthers...

Starting with...

 

I have every reason to believe that the Patriots will be trying to move up and take one of the top 5 QBs out there. There's no way they are looking at Cam for a long-term answer (love ya Cam but let's realize there's more good football behind ya than in front of ya). And there are too many QB hungry teams out there to not be aggressive in their pursuit -- it's likely that all of the top five will be gone before 15.

It will be very much cost prohibitive for them to move on from Ryan for at least the next couple of seasons. 2023 is the first realistic season that he'll be gone. They could still take a QB, but if that happens I'd bet that he sits for at least a season and a half.

It just doesn't seem like the year to be getting in to the inflated market for the QBs that are there.  High demand doesn't make them better prospects.

Some tidbits from the link below:

  • The 49ers decision will predicate the Falcons.  Wonder if they prefer Lance or Mac?
  • Xavien Howard is in trade talks? Speculation
  • The Pats, Bears, and WFT still rumored to move up (9-10 range? Is that a CAR trade partner?)
  • Could definitely see a DEN jump ahead of us if the last bullet point is the case.  Maybe a 7 & 9 swap for Fields.  DET would still land a top WR (Smith or Waddle)

If they really are looking at moving on from Julio Jones, I wonder what that says about the status of Matt Ryan.

This is from Albert Breer:

"The drumbeat for Florida’s Kyle Pitts has grown louder here, and a good number of other clubs believe he’ll be the fourth pick. Three breadcrumbs we can leave for you here. One, GM Terry Fontenot has done some relationship-building with Matt Ryan that, really, seems to indicate the Falcons aren’t desperate to move on from him in nine months (the contract restructure sends a similar message), and Ryan has been a steady presence in the building the last few weeks. Two, word is the asking price to move up to No. 4 is high, which would indicate Atlanta might not be rushing to move the pick. And then there’s where Arthur Smith made his bones—coaching tight ends. For what it’s worth, the buzz around the NFL has been that Fontenot and Smith are comfortable going forward with Ryan, if that’s where Atlanta lands. But if the right quarterback falls here? Who knows?"

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      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
