I'm not saying that having a franchise QB is 100% necessary to go to and win a Superbowl but it's sure seems like Tepper believes that.  Let's assume that is the case.  How do you build the team?

I don't think there is a single legit or semi-legit QB available through trade or in the draft that we haven't seriously looked into getting.  Bridgewater, Stafford, Watson, Fields, Darnold, Newton, Darnold, Watson...you get the idea.

To me it sure seems like the marching orders are build the D and do everything in the known universe to get a franchise QB.  Take every chance and look under every bush.  If it ends up costs us draft picks, coaches or wins in that quest, it's worth it.  It's better to be elite or horrible.  Your success goes as your QB goes.  Leave no stone unturned.

Do you agree?

All recent (past 10 or so years) SB teams and winners had franchise QBs or QBs playing at a high level.

the model seems to be to build the team and hope to get a QB that turns Elite or has a year or to so of Elite play (see Cam 2015, Baltimore 2013, etc).

The coach, QB, and MLB are the soul of any team. Their mistakes and leadership are magnified as they factor in to every play. If they are not capable of standing toe to toe with the best in their decision making, then a team has no chance. The rest of the team will embody their leaders and playmaker.

After that it is the core of leadership. IMO 5 on offense and 4 on defense. These are the players you pay and build around QUICKLY. They DO NOT need to be physically gifted and the most talented in the league. They MUST be smart, ultra competitive, unapologetic, and care more about their team rather than themselves. If you don't have this core in place in 2 years with an upswing toward being the best in the league, move on and start again.

Then it is surrounding that core with the best complimentary talent available in the NFL. Reverse this formula and start with complimentary talent for success at the college level. The cream will rise to the top. Core players always leave quickly. Recruiting is king.

The Panthers defense embodies the college formula.

Cam is the best available option atm for QB. Search for an improvement and know when the timing is right when you've found the best QB in the NFL... hopefully unknown to the rest of the league. MLB defensive leader is a must (Devin Lloyd will be the answer for the team that drafts him). Coach is without a doubt a must. Rhule is no where in the same arena as the best coaching minds in the NFL.

Nothing else matters if they miss on all 3 immediate musts.

As for the core...

You have Cam, CMC, and Abdullah to build around. Two more leaders/winners needed. I like Linderbaum at C in the draft for a 10+ year leader and I'd trade for a player like Hunter Henry, Steffon Diggs, or Justin Jefferson.

Defense has Shaq and Chinn. Adding Devin Lloyd as the core leader. Draft DT Ridgeway to lead the DL.

Panthers have no shot with Rhule at the helm though. He'll always be outcoached and unwilling to part with his college ways.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
