No.  We have 1 pick in the top 100.  

Pickett is the definition of a desperate team doing desperate things.   If you watched him for the last 5 freaking years in college.  Nothing says he is worth a top 10 pick gamble.  Every QB in the last draft that went in the first round was a better prospect.

Are you waiting for this upcoming disaster to make sense?

I got some bad news, bubba.

Yep. All first round QBs last year are better than any of these prospects. How many of those turned out to be worth the pick?

Rhule, mcadoo, and the rest of that staff need a QB to save their jobs. Only Fitts can save the org from these bad choices and I’m not sure he has the power.

It doesn't matter, the Panthers will be selecting another qb in 2023 anyway. 

And then we trade away our 25 year old 1st round qb bust (Pickett, not Darnold although basically the same age and bust factor) for like a 3rd or something. Sounds like the Panthers way

Scariest part is I expect Matt Rhule to trade up with his good friends the NY Jets in order to get Pickett.

I'm cool with taking a shot on him ideally trading down a bit but at least we'd have an exciting young QB prospect who can actually potentially develop here for the first time since Cam. Yes like others I don't trust this staff to do it but at least it's not another trash retread QB option like Teddy/Sam.

I dunno about exciting and young, not a good season til his 5th year. Only a year younger than Darnold. Now Willis yes, exciting and young that was mentored by Cam

Can you imagine anyone thinking that Pickett was a better prospect than Fields or Zach Wilson? Apparently we had little to no interest in either of those players pre draft……….and now we’re interested in a dude who has to wear a glove to grip a professional size ball. He should do GREAT in bad weather. Not a turnover risk at ALL.m

He cannot freaking throw a pro ball. It’s embarrassing. You can tell on SCREEN passes he can’t throw it. It’s like a high schooler. He double grips it to get a feel for the ball when he’s stepping INTO his throw. Not when he’s taking his drop as just a part of a pattern. When he’s actually getting ready to THROW the ball he’s trying to grip it. You CANNOT draft him in the first round.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
