Unless Corral looks like a can't miss prospect, I am for drafting a QB in next years draft to keep all options open.  I'm tired of getting pigeon-holed into a last gasp solution at QB.  Darnold is gone after this season, I have no doubts.  If Baker flops or wants a long-term, big money deal after anything less than a MVP-esque season...let him walk too.  Remember, Corral is the only QB inked beyond this season for the Panthers.

In that scenario at least we would have another open competition and not be stuck with an unproven Corral as our only option.

If Baker isn’t the answer and Corral is still a question mark, we should absolutely draft one IMO. We would have a very cheap QB room against the cap also.

If we get to the point where we know Baker isn't the answer, we better be answering the question marks about Corral as well instead of waiting.

Yeah if we're obviously toast in December they need to play Corral, no point in watching 2 guys who probably won't be here next year finish the season if we're out of the playoff contention

Yeah, but any bozo can look great for 2-3 games. 

I expect Corral will get some game time but will still be a question mark next off-season.

If Baker sucks, corral will get a legit shot. If Baker works out, Corrals career is most likely toast.

Depends on where we draft and how much it costs to move up. In 2022, quarterback costs were very small to draft a good one. In 2021 it took multiple firsts to move up to snag a top QB. If they stay as sought after as 2021, I am not sure cheap would apply if it costs multiple firsts to acquire even if they are on a rookie contract.

I doubt we are good enough to be lower than mid-round in the first.  ON PAPER, this 2023 QB class is loaded.  As they say, that's why they play the games.  If this class lives up to it's billing, we may not have to move up to get a quality guy.   Deep QB classes have guys "fall" to the mid-round.  Mac Jones is the latest example.

You finally put some sugar on it, didn't you?

I'm sure it's the exact same contract.  He just needed to sign before camp.  It looks like Willis just recently signed with the Titans as well.  Kind of weird they are all waiting until the last minute...

Something to do with getting their roster bonuses paid by the 5th day of training camp starting next year, more of the money up front I guess.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
