From Riot Report and Joe Person article via The Athletic:

I’m told the Panthers have had difficulty reaching a consensus on how the quarterbacks stack up, not surprising given that there’s no Trevor Lawrence or Joe Burrow at the top of it. Again, that’s another reason to take a tackle in the first round — something the Panthers haven’t done since the Bush administration (the second one).

After getting the tackle, Fitterer shouldn’t just kick his feet up and wait for Saturday to roll around when the Panthers pick again. To this point, Fitterer has been protective of future picks, telling teams he wasn’t interested in giving up a 2 or 3 in 2023 to move up this year.

He also said there are a couple of quarterbacks the Panthers would feel comfortable taking at 6, which very well could have been a smokescreen. But there are quarterbacks they’d feel better about in the second round, including North Carolina’s Sam Howell and, presumably, Kenny Pickett and Malik Willis if one of them were to drop (Willis probably won’t get past the Steelers at 20).

Option B (or is it C? D?) at quarterback is to get through the draft and see if the price has dropped on Jimmy Garoppoloor Baker Mayfield, or if San Francisco or Cleveland would at least be willing to kick in some cash.

As he did before free agency, Fitterer pointed out the cost effectiveness of drafting and developing a quarterback. When evaluating veteran QBs versus rookies, Fitterer said teams also have to ask themselves why some of these guys are still available.

Person said on a podcast the team really likes Howell and could look into trading into the 2nd to get him. 

If we go LT in round one I’m good with anything else we do as long as we don’t risk high future draft picks. Makes you wonder if we could pull it off because Fitt said yesterday he has already told teams he is not giving up future 1-3 round picks.

I dont know how you get back into the top half of the 2nd without giving up future capital 

 

Ive been on record I would trade cmac in a second to Buffalo for their first to get a qb at the end of the round if they are dead set on a rookie this year.

It would take a future first to move into the 2nd this year or a highly valuable player

I think they must trade back in the first round with the 6th pick, in order to pick up a selection in the 2nd round and hopefully, additional picks. Maybe the Panthers could get Trevor Penning and then Sam Howell?

I think it’s definitely option A to trade down. The problem is everyone in the league knows our game plan and top need. We don’t even need to lie or throw out smoke screens because anyone can see our only three options and we don’t want to stay at 6 unless one of the 2 top LT’s fall to us.

True and I believe a player is much more likely if we were to go that route. Fitt has been very vocal about protecting future picks which is….refreshing. I believe they all realize what the Sam trade did to us.

That's probably where lack of consensus comes in, and at 6 with the Pick it Pitt lovers.

Both fail to add up to a real NFL QB.

 

 

Strong 2022!

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      Well, he either plays well or we suck again and get the #1 pick and get our new QB for next year.  Im not stressing.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
