I am not seeing it either.  If one was going to rise it would have happened by now.  Build the line and then circle back in 23 for a qb.  The timeline sucks but at least its a damn plan

All these guys had the opportunity to prove themselves first round worthy and none did.

They all have obvious flags or definitive ceilings. I would take a bunch of them in the 2nd or the 3rd but absolutely none of them in the first. Much less in the top 10.

Statistically, at least one SHOULD be successful in the NFL but I wouldn't be the team rolling that die in the top 10.

That didn’t stop the Cards from drafting QBs in the first round in back to back years.

Long story short, you keep drafting a QB until you find your franchise QB.

I understand that mentality but you gotta pick your spots. This isn't that year.

We also have way more needs than just QB.

I can understand people not sure about drafting QB but everything should be on the table. If we're able to move a bad contract or two we need to be going after some proven olinemen via free agency or trade. All our resources next year should be going to the offense in a league driven by scoring and I don't care who we have to move to make that happen even if it means losing a fan favorite. But it all begins with QB.

Oh no doubt! I am not arguing one should blindly reach for any QB or else you get in the situation we are in now. Im just saying the moment you feel you can get a franchise QB especially in the draft you pull the trigger.
 

With the rookie cap it makes even more sense to continuously draft a QB until you find your franchise QB versus sticking it out and waiting for the right opportunity.

until we have a QB, the pick has to be QB...I get the desire to draft a LT, but we can't seem to get there.

this is the correct way of thinking.

ultimately it will come down to a question of positional value. You aren’t going to spend a 1st round pick on interior linemen, and you have one OT already. So it’s a simple debate of QB or OT and which matters more.

Id love Cam to catch lightning in a bottle and play them out of range of a QB, I really would, (provided he remained good going forward) but right now it doesn’t seem to be trending that way.

And I agree with that viewpoint entirely. However.....these guys have no clue what a successful QB even looks like, which is super scary. Also, it's hard to justify taking a suspect QB when elite OL may be on the board.

Darnold is done here as a starter. PJ is at best a backup and perhaps Cam can be another bridge QB. That's probably his ceiling. But, any of these options will be better with competent OL.

I 100% agree. Hopefully we get build a OL but this franchise hasn’t drafted an OL in the first for more than a decade. If they aren’t gonna do the logical stuff maybe we’re better of them swing for the fences but this time at rookie QBs and not dumpster diving. 
 

To be honest if we went another decade of not drafting OL in the first round because we went QB instead, I would be okay with that.

F that crap.

 

Pickett???? Not before the 3rd Round.

 

That Iowa center 20 times before Pickett.

I hope a team gets obsessed with a QB then in desperation to acquire that top 10 pick we are able to trade down and get a 2nd round pick as well. Then double down on the oline.    That is my hope.

Yeah, I just disagree because we would likely end up squandering another promising QB talent by not protecting him.

Also, what you are describing is the thing I have posted on here before about. I am afraid we are in the midst of being the 1999-2017 Cleveland Browns and their comical QB carousel. I posted the side by side comparison and right now we are actually tracking to be a worse version of them during that time span.

That concerns me because that isn't typically an easy nosedive to pull up from. That kind of franchise dysfunction usually takes decades to recover from.

    • I honestly think XL will step up this year. Drafting another WR will be great for competition and I think his best days are ahead
    • Bryce has a horrible rookie year Huddle: poor guy needs an o line and some wr Panthers get him an o line and wr Half the huddle: man he sucks since he can't do anything without an o line or wr ( even tho all world mahomes looked mediocre with no o line and only a hof te and mediocre wr - even tho they've drafted a wr in the 1st, 2 in the 2nd and 1 in the 4th in the last 4 years) 
    • The Panthers upgraded the offensive talent so that the PANTHERS could win football games. The offense now a ton of talent and DEPTH. Ask any coach/GM if they could have a dominating offense or defense which would they choose? Of the 2, it’s offense all day. Eagles don’t sniff the SB without Barkley. Home run hitter. 3 and out insurance policy. Defense stays fresh. It’s not the other way around. Far more games are won converting on thirds than stops on third. Dominating defenses are there to seal the deal.  2003 went from SB to suck from losing their WR1. 2005 was an almost. 2015 went from dominating to never again. Never a back to back winning season. Revolving door coaches. No true offensive depth and talent, EVER.  Now that the offense looks loaded, the same fans who pounded the table for #1 to get some DUDES again remind everyone how misused and cheated he was… well he was and everyone knows it. The coaching was bad. System. Talent…. Bad, except for a few players. Bad. Could he have developed in to a more complete player with better everything. Yes…. But good lord get over it. This is not righting the wrongs of the past because that is not possible. This is trying to win games in the NFL, the way everyone else is doing it.  Will BY throw for more yards and TDs this year than Cam did in 2015. Very likely. But so what. I hope he does. I hope all of Cam and Jakes records are obliterated one day because it will likely mean the Panthers are winning more football games. To feel otherwise is obtuse.  Defense was not and is not being ignored. What Dan and Dave have accomplished in 2 off seasons with the offense is nothing short of a miracle. They obviously know what a grown ass football player looks like. What logical reason is there that indicates they can’t/won’t do the same on defense.
