We'd be all in on a QB if you had a great prospect in the 1st round this year. However, almost every pundit feels that none of the guys in this year's draft is worthy of a top 10 draft spot. If we draft a below average talent out of desperation it'll only set us back more.

This team is now a year behind on the rebuild due to our terrible 2021 season. If we can fix the O-line in 2022, any QB we acquire afterwards (draft or FA) should be in a good position to succeed. No one is going to thrive behind out current line.

 

He doesnt get it man, he simply is being intentionally too obtuse to understand this simple point.

There will be good QBs that come out of this class as there always is. Picking #9 or #11 or #6 is going to yield a similar crop of potential at the QB spot next season. Delaying the inevitable only delays potential success. The last sentence is not only a silly fallacy, but also seems to imply that a top 6 pick is the only way to add OL talent. Opportunities for OTs are always there. Opportunities for QBs are not.

Yes.  If you keep up with the draft process at all, you would know that last year's QB crop had draftnics drooling all over themselves.  Heck, I even wanted one last year. This year not so much.  Just by the law of averages, one of these guys will likely pan out, but determining who based of their college careers is a crap shoot.  There is no Tervor Lawrence-type of guys who had sustained success.  You have one-hit wonders in Pickett/Corral and a guy like Howell that regressed.  Then you have the guy from Liberty who ate bad competition alive, but struggled against the big dogs.

You want someone other than Lawrence from last year's class?  I don't. not sure the teams that drafted them do either

Every single analyst and every single scout all acknowledge this, its only you that cannot seem to process it. 

Oh wow do they? Every single scout? 

at least you’ve put a timer on your argument, in a week we won’t have to pretend like your argument has any credence anymore.

After our 1st pick at #6 in round one, we don't pick again until Day 3. We don't have much opportunity to add any top OL (or any players) after the 1st round. I could see taking a risk on a QB if we had 2nd and 3rd round draft choices. Rhule's "brilliant" trades have left the team with very little draft choices this off season. 😡

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
