People were saying the same thing about Cam. Back there were several huddlers who wanted to roll with Jimmy Clausen and draft Marcell Dareus first overall. You gotta take chances on QBs. Not every one is gonna be a prospect like Trevor Lawrence.

Not ones that can't throw the ball. Cam was/is one-of-a-kind. He's a freakshow athlete at the NFL level. Everyone already knew that going into the draft. The question was whether he could be a passable QB. Malik Willis is...not an elite athlete. He's good, but he doesn't have the kind of otherworldly athleticism that Cam had. He single-handedly dominated college football that year. Malik Willis is dropping games to ULM.

I would trade down in the draft. Try my best to get a 2nd round and take Spencer Rattler. I still like the kid more than any of these QBs in next year’s draft and think he has a ton of potential. He just need to be in the right system.

What would it take to get Mimshew to Carolina ?  Jake was not a top QB but he had grit and a will to win .  I just don't see that in Darnald .  Mimshew is not a bad QB and at least could beat PJ as the backup and maybe replace Darnald .

Please shut up with the Minshew talks. What the heck is wrong with Panthers fans’ obsession with trash quarterbacks?

People have forgotten. That Auburn team was either barely ranked or just outside of the top 25 in the preseason that year. They weren't a great team. Cam Superman'd that team to a national championship.

Cam and Joe burrow were must see games when they were in college.  Thats about the only 2 qb's I can say that about and I watch a lot of college football.  Both of those dudes were like some marvel character playing football

I'd put Manziel there too. Johnny Football was pure entertainment.

If it’s not the best college season ever, it’s easily the most valuable to a team. 6 players on that team got drafted. Fairley, who was a monster a DT that year, two 7th rounders(Ziemba, Zach Clayton) a 4th round OG(Mosley) and two FR backup DEs in Dee Ford(1st in 2014) and Corey Lemonier(3rd in 2012). Compare that to other BCS winners and it’s shocking. 
 

  2nd in NCAA in passing and SECs leading rusher. Against a schedule that was as tough as any team has had.

Yep. Burrow's final season was unreal, but to be fair, so was the talent surrounding him. That wasn't the case with Cam.

  I can give Burrow best(most productive) season with no issue. But Cam carried a team, plus had to deal with a witch hunt from the media.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
