What if we pick up Tyrod Taylor for some cheap late picks and roll with him, draft a rookie and let him sit behind Taylor until he is ready?

Panthers fans have really gone insane. No one is even trying to get a franchise Qb anymore. We sucked so bad under Tepper that fans are really settling for guys like Minshew and Tyrod.

I think the draft a rookie bit was the franchise QB ideally.  Tyrod on a rental with a promising rookie sitting behind him learning sounds good to me, but the OL must be fixed too.

I rather roll with Sam Darnold again next season than journey man Tyrod who consistently get replaced by rookie QBs every year and a mediocre Minshew. Minshew Ryan Fitzmagic 2.0. Take a chance of Spencer Rattler.

For me, it depends on the price. This isn't about long term solution, but best environment for a rookie to become the guy we need... Tyrod is unquestionably an upgrade over Darnold. Barring some major improvement, Darnold shouldn't see the field next year.  Tyrod gives us a mentor for a young rookie we think will be the franchise one day. 

As to Minshew, he would be a potentially very cheap backup option, and as we've seen there is a lot of value in that.  I don't see him as some future franchise qb though.

Yeah that’s the theory. You have a solid vet (who was playing well before he got hurt) to help the rookie learn the game until his is ready. It also gives the fans something to watch because Sam was unwatchable last game… FA targets should be OL and picks outside of our QB (which isn’t many right now).

Thanks to the rookie pay scale, the league has moved on from the "draft a rookie to sit behind a vet" phase. For the most part, if a drafted rookie has to sit behind a vet now for more than a couple games, they have little chance of being "the guy" in the future--see the questions on Tua and Hurts.

Herbert ended up playing early, Lance has already played early and would be now if not for injury, Fields is playing, and Jones is playing. Wilson would be playing if not for injury. Lawrence beat out Minshew. Kyler Murray played early. So did Burrow and Mayfield. 

Don't draft a QB if you're not ready to roll with him on Day 1, especially if he's drafted early. And don't sign a vet with the intent of allowing your 3rd rounder to "learn". It's a risk not worth taking (see Taylor, Tyrod and Mills, Davis).

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
