Plus next year has three legit prospects who'd have been picked ahead of anyone this year (Young, Stroud, Jurkovec) and this team isn't a QB away from being good. 

This time last year everyone had Sam Howell pegged as #1 pick this year

Don’t sleep on Haener, Slovis or Levis as well. I love me some Haener.

It's definitely wishful thinking to not only already be hyping a QB class next year nobody knows will pan out and just assuming we will have a top pick. That "next year" mantra has been ongoing and is getting stale. Not only that for some reason people seem to be under an illusion that we will draft one hit and be done. If you think it works that way for every team you're in for a very rude awakening.

Was he third string?

Jarrett Stidham is definitely no The Golden Calf of Bristol. He wasn't even a Fromm. Bo Nix was trash and that's the guy who ultimately made Willis transfer. Willis couldn't beat out Bo Nix.

Joe Burrow was third string at OSU and had to transfer because he had no shot at playing. Joe Burrow was this close to winning a super bowl and JT Barrett and Haskins are bums.

So is Joe Burrow a worse QB than the two he couldn't beat out at OSU...or no?

They had Howell and Rattler as the top 2 picks. His point was a long cab change in a year. 

Sure but the volume of potential top guys is much more vast then this season.  There are some studs that are going to be coming out

 

Hell I think Stroud would be the #1 overall qb this season if he was in teh mix

The big two are Stroud/Young, the others are high potential guys but still have something to prove. People are also going to question Stroud being from OSU’s system (I think it’s a dumb argument) and Young have a loaded team and being undersized. 
If it was 2020 Howell this year, he would be the top pick. Banking on next year is still not full proof because we don’t know what will happen over the college season and we don’t know where we will be picking/who will be ahead of us.

People already had questions on for Howell due to the offense he plays in and the fact that he was losing his skill guys to the nfl. He still played well but all the questions about him remained and I think people around here liked him more than the consensus bc he's local. 

Rattler was the hyped up arm talent prospect but of course he bombed and got benched.

The prospects next year are much more well regarded, that doesn't mean things can't change.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
