For real, The Broncos will look 2x as stupid as us for passing on Fields. 

They passed on him because they thought they had something in Drew Lock. 

Now they're starting Bridgewater over him. 

Completely and utterly ridiculous. 

In comparing Darnold to Lock, both have had small flashes but struggled in the league. The good news is Darnold had waaaaay less talent around him. I think it was more of neither franchise being that high on Fields or Jones than anything else..

Mahomes wouldn't have been Mahomes if he went to Chicago, he would be decent but not considered one of the top 2 or 3 QBs in the league.

I don't know if I agree.  Watson went to a horrible Texans org.  It didn't matter.   Horrible OL.  Bad coaching.  Bad management.  I mean, he is Mahomes to the Bears (but worse).

Watson was going to be special no matter where he went.  That's just what he was.

Too early for all this......AND chase needs to step his poo up. 

I mean if the bungals wanted to unload him for a furture 1st, nano second YES.

Panthers passed on Slater as well, who by *too early reports is looking great at LT.

Horn fits too many of the panthers checks to pass up.

FYI - It feels like for the most part, there is a new focus on size ala gettlegut/ravens. They want players with big hands, long arms, wide shoulders etc etc. in before shi smith a late 6th is posted...

I hate to be that guy, but I think this draft will be judged by passing on a certain QB.  Hate me if you want, but I truly believe that's how this draft will be judged.  

Don't get me wrong we had a hell of a draft....but there will be that elephant in the room if Darnold is what his numbers suggest, and he who shall not be named becomes a top 10 QB in Chicago.

The Panthers won't be the only team that passed on you know who.  I think the Panthers will be fine.

fuging idiots in management!!!

move on dude or get a job in the league

A few of you are not comprehending what my opinion is about...

I'm not suggesting who we should have drafted.  MY opinion is how I think this draft will ultimately be judged.

And since they slowly lost their talent they have been losing and looking bad. No matter how he plays he can't do it alone.

No quarterback is elite on a crappy team. It takes a team to win not just one guy.

I mean I would say Deshaun Watson is an elite-level QB on a terrible team. But again, we can debate this all day.  And I'm not talking about wins here. I'm talking about elite QB talent.  I'm saying Mahomes is an elite QB no matter where he plays.

And you don't understand what I'm saying.  You can't just judge the Panthers.  11 teams total passed on the can't miss qb. So ultimately no, the Panthers choice only matters to a few on here.

I understand what you're saying.  My suggestion is when it's all said and done and when we look back on this draft in 5 years.  I believe it will be judged with the selection at 8.  Keep in mind that I know it's too early to judge this draft.  That's why I emphasized when we look at this draft 5 years from now.

I get what you are saying but I don't think you can judge a draft on who you didn't draft. Far too many variables to consider to even give that a fair evaluation. Fields for example might bust for the Bears but might have been a stud for us. Or vise versa. And you can make that argument for literally EVERY player in the draft.

We can agree to disagree.  But I believe you can absolutely judge a draft by who was and wasn't drafted.  Most notably, the 2017 draft with the Chicago Bears.

That doesn't change anything in reality. In the next 5 years the Panthers could draft a future HOF qb even if Sam is still on the team and playing great.  

If he sucks he's gone next year and no one bats an eye because the opportunity cost was minimal. 

But yes, those that pined for a certain player will always hold that decision over the teams head.  But it will be misguided and ridiculous.

      Exactly. This has decimated the fanbase as well. There’s wayyyy less excitement even for a year where we have “improved”

      Bryce might be my least favorite football player of all time

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It's about his playing style. I pointed all this put leading up to the draft. He'd usually take the snap from shotgun at Bama and immediately drop back another 5+ yards after that and then just kinda freewheel standing square to the LOS surveying the field. That can't world at the NFL for several reasons. 1) you can't create a picket that deep at the NFL level. NFL edge rushers are too good. 2) Standing square to the LOS like Bryce did now once you see where you want to throw, you have to flip your hips to get in position to deliver the throw. That means both your receiver needs to be wide open and you need ample protection. Not happening in the NFL. 3) On all of his deep throws he needed to be able to step up and through the throw to generate power. That rarely happens in the NFL. It happened recently against Atlanta and he played great but that type if time and room to operate just rarely happens on Sundays. Bryce was IMO always a prototypical great college player who just doesn't translate to the NFL from a talent and stylistic perspective. I don't know how he fooled football people into thinking otherwise.

      Seems so weird considering his college career, like obviously being a great Pro player is much harder but still how do you go from Heisman winning greatest Alabama QB this era to worst starting QB in the league, I don't get it. I know he had an injury his last year in college but that shouldn't effect his "processing" skills the way something has
