Albert Breer: believes drafting a quarterback with the sixth pick in the NFL Draft is the Panthers' "only way out" of the team's quarterback predicament

I don't think #6 is the only way out, but I do think that the draft is.

Good way of looking at it.  I am happy we have Fitterer and not Gettlemen this year.  They are probably exact opposites.  If Fitterer thinks he can get his QB by trading back, that is what we are going to do.  If we HAVE to pick at #6, I expect a T or edge rusher.

Joe Burrow was less than mediocre before his final season.  

Not that related, but did you know that Kenny Pickett is 5 months OLDER than Green Bay's Jordan Love? I want Matt Corral or Sam Howell in a trade back.  While they could become starters, we don't have a decent backup either.

He was also playing in an offensive system last seen when football was played in leather helmets. That's the huge factor the folks reaching to compare a Pickett to him consistently miss.

I’m not comparing their skill set.  I just think it’s short sighted to assume he won’t have a good NFL career simply because he took a big leap this past year.  Pretty sure the hope is that all athletes continue to improve as time goes on.  Some do it faster than others.

His good measurables that others are hanging their hats on made me even more down on him. They don't show up on the field. He basically plays like a more mobile Mac Jones. Throws outside the numbers in the NFL are going to be off the table. He can't get the ball out there against NFL DBs without getting them jumped for a pick six.

40 or near 40 isn’t as rare. Brees, Big Ben, Manning was like 38. Rodgers is 38 and was just MVP again. Now mid 40s like Brady is doing is crazy….

The problem you've got there is you're talking about borderline HoF talents at the most important position in sport.

It's not normal to play that long.

Well yeah when you draft someone high you hope they are that talented. However look at Ryan Fitzpatrick and the McCown brothers. It’s just not as rare as it once was.

 There just aren't very many Jake Delhommes out there.

Just thinking the same thing this morning. It is imminently harder to find and snag a Jake Delhomme than it is to find a Cam Newton type. Both are unicorns in their own way, but the Newtons are so incredibly obvious that no one could miss on picking them.

Delhommes, well, they're out there, sitting on someone's bench, doing great in preseason and just waiting for their chance. I keep thinking there's got to be one somewhere...

You guys are good for a laugh. Newton wasn't even the consensus top QB in his draft let alone the consensus top pick. If he came out this year there would still be the same whiners saying we shouldn't risk it let's go OL or DL.

Minshew is probably the best bet there. Honestly, if the draft doesn't fall right for us I'd rather kick Philly a mid-rounder next year for Minshew vs. trading real assets for Jimmy G or Baker Mayfield and their significantly larger cap hits.

Honestly, we should have just kept Taylor Heinicke and skipped the whole Teddy and Sammy show and built the o-line. We wouldn't have been any worse off.

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
