Panthers were one pick away from Justin Herbert...

I'm just now looking this up, and realizing it after reading the 'What will be Rhule's biggest regret' thread....and man, idk if there would've been any way to trade up. Just imagine though, the franchise trajectory with Herbert at QB.

 

Instead we got.....Derrick Brown lol

 

 

(I guess I should expect everyone to say Rhule would've ruined him too 😂)

this is already discussed and well known. Hurney actually did want to go get Herbert but idiots didn’t want to trade capital and he didn’t fall to us.

let this be a lesson for all the anti tankers. Literally one or two games and we’d be set with a franchise qb.

hell the entire cam Newton era was a result of a blatant tank by JR, though more so for business reasons, but still.

I don't follow as closely as I once did; but I actually don't hear about this topic as much as I'd expect. For a franchise that's had this much QB failure lately, to miss out on what looks to be one of this generations elite QB's by one pick...  Maybe everyone has tried to block it out 😂

Rhule and his merry band of poo stained coaches would have ruined him. End of discussion.

This.

It didn't matter if we had gotten him or the best QB in any other draft.

 

With this Coaching staff, the end result will always be either failure for the QB or the IR.

Every qb-needy team in the league misjudged Herbert, or they would have traded up for him. This includes the Chargers. Allen, Mahomes, Lamar, the list goes on to prove the most important factor in picking a QB is luck.

Rhule certainly has enough really proven faults, you don't have to make extra ones up.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
