Are you referring to the Joe Person sources say leak about Jones and Lance? I have not seen the Panthers big board have you? So I can't say definitively what they would have done. But based on confirmed desperation before the draft I can make an educated guess that qb or a trade up would have been under consideration.

Actually, yeah. Rhule broke it down on Panthers Confidential. 

Neither Fields nor Lance was on it. And there was pretty extensive discussion of that fact on here right after the episode premiered.

You have a hard time believing that different personnel people could have different opinions on a prospect? 🤔

No, what I think is that if we weren't interested in Lance, then it wasn't because he wasn't a good fit. It could have been that they didn't want to take, or have, the time to develop him.

Remind me was that from draft night or released later after the fact? This new Panthers team is very deliberate about what they release so I'm skeptical they would show their hand even after the fact without knowing what they were doing.

Maybe we liked 2 QBs, maybe we liked 3, once we beat WFT and ended up with the 8th pick it didn't matter.  There was no way you could go into the draft hoping one of your top 2 or 3 fell to you. Nobody with half a brain expected QB3 to make it to 8.

 At that point we started to look at QBs already in the league.  First Stafford and then Darnold.  Once we invested in Darnold then realistic QBs were pretty much out of consideration on draft night.

Unless you are Rhule or Fitterer there is really no way to say definitively what would have happened if we would have ended up with pick 3.  Trying to say that Fields would have in no way been considered based on second hand tweets is ludicrous.

Filmed prior to the draft, released after.

And for the record, the Panthers under Tepper love releasing behind the scenes stuff. The tight lipped approach was under Richardson.

At that point Darnold was already invested in.  Big board at 8 with Darnold on the team would probably look different that big board at 3 without Darnold on the team.

See above. 

I would look it up if I were that interested. All I know is that Lance is developing pretty nicely so far in San Fran. He's not necessarily going to start, bit he's making strides, if nothing else but mentally. He's developing his pocket presence as opposed to just defaulting to his legs. He's displaying the kind of traits that speak to his adaptability to any system, so it wouldn't be the first time a staff has been wrong.

Believing something happened based on your own uninformed ideas rather than actual sourced material is what's truly ludicrous.

Not sure what you expect to gain by crying "The Panthers liked the quarterback I did even though they didn't take him, damn it!"

But hey, you be you.

Right but I don't think they release that without considering all the angles is what I'm getting at. The Panthers media team is on a different level now. Even still the board with an already acquired Darnold would likely look different than without. Carolina showed what they were willing to part with for a veteran starter so who can say what they would have done if Darnold were not available and what the board would have looked like 🤷‍♂️

If that makes you feel better 🙄

Pretty obvious you haven't watched the video (it's still online) but again, believing your own wild theories over actual sources is kind of silly.

I was speculating on a different outcome based on a different draft position, your informed sources really were not commenting on that.

Not to mention how often you do have to be wrong after taking your select "informed" sources so literly before you start applying some simple logic?

buy hey, you be you

Man I REALLY wanted us to draft Fields, but our staff was and is all in on Darnold at least for this year…  There were leaks Tepper liked Fields, but even if they are true he is clearly letting Rhule and Fitts call the shots for now.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
