Take QB out of the equation

I’m going to try to be positive here.


I understand a lot of people wanted Fields.  I would have considered him myself, but for whatever reason the team wasn’t that high on him.

A lot of us wanted Sewell, but he was gone.

A lot of us would have liked to trade down, no idea what type of offers they had.

If you take QB or trading down out of the equation, we got a really good prospect at a high value position that was also a position of need.

Outside of Fields or trading down, who would you have really preferred?

You have to. There's no choices now, it's Sam and no prospect in the next years draft that they'll be able to get to.

This is similar to the Jake days, but only if Jake came in as a certified bust.

Maybe we'll get lucky one year and have so much talent throughout almost every position on the team that we can lose another Super Bowl.

Horn tbh and I got my wish.

I can't understate how talented I think Horn is 

There has to be a reason people were passing on Fields. And we'll learn. He's a Bear now. They have their path, we have ours.

At the end of the day 31 other teams look stupid to fans at large while one looks like a genius. There's no sure fire way. Trust your gut, go from there.

Stop getting upset about what you can't control.

The longer i think about it, the more that i like horn for our pick. I am just worried that sam darnold is not the answer, just like teddy wasnt... and i think it will be a while before we have a chance to draft a decent qb prospect. Even if darnold sucks, our team is good enough to go 8-8 perpetually. It may be a while before we get a shot at another qb

Follow you instinct and you'll make it to game 8 of next season still posting, and not hiding after an off-season of chest thumping.

I’m not sold on darnold at all, he was one of the worst rated qbs, they are doing the same thing with darnold as they did Teddy, if what they saw from fields wasn’t enough to warrant the pick, I’m cool with that as long as that shows on the field, when he plays, cause if he’s great and darnold flops, I will lose what little trust in the front office

No he wasn't lol. Darnold would be a top 3 pick in this draft nd they have gone over this already many times lol.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
