I wasn't even talking about rookies, I mentioned the best QBs in the NFL. And surprise, a lot of them weren't great as rookies and had big question marks about their games. 

I agree on the needing a QB. But there is no way one was going to fix it this year. And one won't next year either.

Poll question:

You want a rookie QB behind this O-line or Sam Darnold behind a decent O-line?

This should be obvious.  Please actually put this in a poll in a separate thread. I would LOVE to see exactly how delusional this fan base really is.

Not a strawman on this season with a rookie or a rookie next year. As you said they didn't just make it work year one.

 

All you have is a calling everything a straw man. Must be trolling.

So basically you want to win immediately and won't be able to deal with growing pains that are natural when dealing with young players. Maybe football ain't for you bc this team ain't gonna be good overnight

Again, you are projecting. 

If the Panthers ever wanna win they need a QB, one might be available next year and they don't even need the 1st pick, and they can also improve the line esp since as Brady Christensen has proven, rookie offensive lineman can't just start right away. He'll start after a year in the weight room. Centers can be found later in the draft. Guards in free agency. Don't put words in my mouth bc youre upset about the loss bc clearly you haven't thought about any of this

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
