The Panthers have first round grades on 3 QBs.

Willis is my favorite QB in this draft, but IF we could trade back and still get Corral that has to be a huge win. How exiting would Corral and CMC be in our backfield. That quick release can get him the ball in a blink of an eye or he can play action strike it right to Moore!

“Those in the Panthers organization view Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett and Matt Corral as the top quarterbacks in this draft class, worthy of first-round picks" 

 

From the observer. 

 

Expect a trade back and a selection of one of these guys.

I wonder if this will change tomorrow after Sam Howell's Pro Day.  Last year, had he been eligible, he would have been rated behind Lawrence and Wilson.

I think he's as good as any of these QBs in this thread.  They all have question marks.

Won't happen. He doesn't like Cam, I don't think. Too big of a voice. Not a sheep like Rhule prefers.

Yeah plus Cam wasn’t HIS guy. Cam was a Panther long before Rhule was and Rhule seems a little narcissistic and wants to be the guy who found/developed our next QB.

Who is trading up with us? Who are they trading up for? 

I got a few, points line up

Philly- Sauce(hell I would do that and I never cared for CBs, 2 late first and get a long quick CB, f yea)

Minn - choice DE (their 1st and 2nd) 

Sea - Wilis (they may feel hes wilson 2.0 got plenty of draft capital)

Wild cards - Jets- LT/DE/C/WR (done deals before and they hold the 10, may want to jump the comp and have plenty of picks......many due to panthers ugh....)

Pitt - QB/willis ( the cost would be too much and they never seem to pull off these types of moves.....but theres always a first and if Willis falls some they could be up for it)

Almost 6'2", hand size 9 5/8.  Great at the RPO.  I think he might have as much upside as Willis, if all factors are considered.

Rattler and Howell were seen as consensus top QBs this time last year.

Goes to show what looking too far ahead, draft wise gets you.

And he had that Ole Miss team super competitive against top competition. I remember when they came to Knoxville (where I live) and were missing several starters on offense, Kiffin (who UT hates) just responded with “We have Corral we’ll be ok.” Also if we are looking for a new coach next year we can bring on Kiffin to further develop him! (Kidding, kind of…)

I think 6 is way too high for him.  position inflation (as with QB)

Penning is getting drafted ahead of him. Cross and Thib are gonna slip.

Penning ahead of Cross

Jermain Johnson Jr and Walker ahead of Thibodaux

Garrett Wilson is also going high. Possibly top-7

Yeah I’ve mentioned this to the “next year’s class” crew, but it seems to fall on deaf ears…

To make you feel much worse about your thinking here, I am on the exact same page.  I have Wilson to Atlanta at 8, however, so you have that.

No SR Bowl, no combine--he is flying under the radar. 

Now I am going to dazzle with some conspiracy theory--the Panthers were all over Pickett--front and center for Willis at their pro days--but the presence at Corral's day seemed less of an event--I have to go back and check details, but I think McAdoo or someone like that (Mr Scot--I need you here) was absent and they did less in front of cameras to show interest. 

I just gotta feeling....

What makes it interesting to me is that a QB like Pickett has a good year and he's like the cream of the crop.

Sam had an incredible season last year. 30 TD to 7 picks 2021 he was 24 TD to 9 picks in 2021.  Mirror attempts but 20 less receptions from a much less talented offense.  He had elite WRs and RBs in 2020 and nothing close in 2021 yet only missed duplicating 2020 by 500 yards (41 yds per game).

His career completion average 63.8% completion.

My point is that he should be in the same conversation as these other guys.  All have huge risk written on them and Sam has as many positive marks as they other 3.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
