The more obvious everything seems the more it all seems like a smokescreen.  

Maybe we are hoping 1 or 2 QBs go before us so we can get one of the top-2 tackles or maybe we really want to trade down for Howell or Ridder.

If I remember correctly, and I wish I could find the article, I want to say I read something one time that talked about how much Seattle slow played drafting Wilson, basically they gave no indication during the draft.  Something to think about with Fitterer here now.

I have no idea with Ridder. I feel like he just plays awkwardly…but it sounds like some teams are high on him and his interviews have been good.

Could see someone reaching for him at the end of the first but could also see him falling to the 3rd-4th. 

Really don’t know with him.

We need a backup to our backups backup.  If he can bounce PJ he's worth a 4th.

Slow played? Lol....until the 3rd round?

Listen....we aren't smokescreening anyone. We are about as transparent as possible.

I see it as a smokescreen........are the Panthers gonna pick Ridder at #6? Nope.....Our next pick isn't until the 4th round? Will he make it there? Nope......The Panthers coaching staff dealt with him the entire week at the senior bowl, check..... The entire Panthers brass went from Pittsburgh pro day, to.Liberty's pro day, to Ole Miss's pro day that took place at 4pm. Cincinnati's pro day is at 10am the next day. I'm not reading too much into it. At least we are not the Steelers, who caught flack for attending Ole Miss's pro day instead of Ohio State. They're giving the fact they are looking for a QB.

 

I like the idea of trading back, gaining extra picks...we could definitely pick up 2 or 3, then address QB, Edge, and OL 🤷🏿‍♂️. I like Ridder, but I don't see him as an option unless we trade back.

kinda had the same thought 

one way or another this makes it seem like they have their mind made up on Ridder 

I don’t believe they hate him, and if they did why let everyone know?

move down, make sure nobody knows about your interest in him, and take him there. Sell the interest in the top 3 QBs to attract a buyer.

of course that’s stupid, you never settle for a lesser QB prospect in the name of picking up some draft picks, especially just to recoup ones you’ve lost. You’re chasing your own tail.

To me this just makes it more apparent that they are playing some games as far as smoke screens and such.  They are aware of how things look regardless of how many huddles think they are blind or just ignorant to this whole process.  You can say it's because he wont be the pick at 6 and he would be gone by the 4th all you want, but you dont think Fitt and company are weighing all the potential options?  Especially as much as he seems to like to trade back and compile extra draft picks.  You cant take everything for face value this time of year no matter how obvious it appears.  A lot of the time the stuff that looks the most obvious right now is intentional.

Waiting until the 3rd round to take a QB that you are really high on takes some discipline.  Doesn't change the fact that they showed very little interest outwardly towards Wilson.

I'm not saying they aren't taking a QB, I'm just saying it wouldn't be a crazy idea to show heavy interest in the top 2-3 QBs if they are hoping some of the top non-QBs fall to you.  I would think you would be happy about that.

Everything you see and here is smokescreen this time of the season.

It doesn't take discipline when the NFL consensus was that he was too small.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By frankw · Posted

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By CRA · Posted

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.

      I think the D performed well over the season considering it was put together with Scotch tape.
