In other words, do what they should have already done. Now we're two years into a rebuild with a bum coach and no end in sight

Yeah...drafting someone this year, regardless of who they were, likely wouldn't have worked out any better.

You have to be able to protect the qb and this line can't.

If they'd play Brown and Christensen at their natural positions and see what they had there we'd possibly be closer to fixing it, but, Rhulevera has to play the vets because...vets.

Why would any QB want to come here. With the state of our OLine, it's not even about winning championships or not. It's about not wanting your body to get beat to hell and needing a cane to stumble your cripple ass around at the age of 45.

No kidding.  We will have to draft a QB because anyone with the power to choose will not want to  play behind a line as weak as we keep putting on the field.

Absolutely…and the bad thing is if we draft a QB, how are we going to invest in the line? We have no draft picks and we could tell from this past offseason that you have to pay crazy money to even get scrub level talent like Elf who is graded as The worst pass blocking center in the league.

I don't like the either / or approach and see it as more of all of the above. We need to cleanout the deadweight on the roster, figure out as much Cap mitigation as possible and try to do it all even though we won't be able to pull that off. If a good QB is there, pull the trigger. If a LT is there pull the trigger. If we can trade back and draft 3 interior Olinemen pull the trigger. Nothing will be perfect, take best value and see what's next we can do. QB is top of the value chart when you don't have one. I would also be fine not playing them immediately. 

I'm only worried about more poor talent evaluations and making picks ignoring positional value and need.

If this is an example of what we're to expect from Rhule in the future, Tepper would do well to cut ties with Matt in the coming weeks.  No way Panthers can afford such a reckless individual to have the keys to the kingdom.  Rhule will ruin this franchise for years if he is retained for 2022.

I agree 100% with your assessment of the inept,dude of a coach, Rhule.  However, we need look no further than Tepper himself as the man responsible for approving  these type actions that are putting the Panthers building plans in complete reverse.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
