My god this is logical nonsense. Let’s just trade all our picks for 6th rounders then.

No it just shows that putting all your hopes on a first round prospect isn't guaranteeing anything and if you want to use the Colts or Bengals as evidence that it works, I just point out the Patriots and Seattle as evidence it can be done other ways as well. And let's have the conversation about how many first round QBs bust.

You make it sound as if there is a surefire franchise QB in this coming draft.  I see potentially good QBs but none that say Franchise about them.  

Look at T. Lawrence in Jacksonville.  He's not, IMO, living up to expectations.  Maybe he doesn't have a supporting cast but he not showing he's elite yet.  He may never be but in 2021 draft everyone was sure he was a surefire franchise QB. 

You base your assumptions on Corral on a HC that treated him like he was a freshman in college.  He didn't give him any real opportunities to shine.  I agree he looked horrific in his first preseason game, but most knowledgeable fans would say he looked much better in the 2nd preseason game before he got hurt.   I think given a real opportunity with a good coaching staff we could have a GOOD QB, maybe not a franchise QB but someone who can execute the offense.  Someone who can score enough points to complement our defense. 

Rhule put us in this situation to consider a QB in 2023.  I'll wait until after the season to say whether I believe any college QB is worthy of the #1 spot or even top 5 picks. 

I am set in stone that I want a QB selected high in 2023 draft unless our scouts are dead set against it. I'm not qualified to evaluate the QBs, so it's up to the scouts. I want to roll the dice if the scouts find a good QB, and let that rookie compete with Corral. That is the scenario I want. Of course the QB rookie might flop, but that's true of every single rookie QB selected in every draft. There is an element of luck involved, and an element of devils advocate in what you're saying.

I'm not trying to say anything is written in stone about Corral. What little we have to go on he looked really bad. I would certainly not pin my hopes on Corral from what little we have of him from the preseason. Yes things can change. Could Corral become a great QB? Not based on what I've seen, but we don't have much evidence either way, and I am not a pro scout.

The wait and see approach always wins out because we'll have more information later. But on the other hand we (the Panthers) are going to have to make some moves. At this point I have the plan I want to see play out, and it doesn't involve counting on just Corral, or skipping the 1st round QBs and hoping for another 6th round Tom Brady, or a just barely good enough to execute the offense type QB. We need a top prospect imo.

We're in waiting situation. It's fun to make predictions and come up with plans before we actually have to make the decision. Anything can happen. I might change my opinion 10 times before we reach the draft.

There are no  guarantees so why would we tank for a QB that has a good chance of not even being great let alone win Superbowls??

 

Because First round QBs hit incredibly more often than QBs taken in the following rounds. This is proven.

"But they bust more too!" no crap, as it is the most important position in football, prospects that show almost any kind of potential usually go in the first two rounds. We're not a playoff team, there's no reason not to tank and try the get the best available player.

So the number 1 pick has no more value than the number 5 pick or some random 6th round pick just because not all the best QBs come from the number 1 pick. That’s a dumb argument to make. Ok let’s have the equally stupid bust conversation. Guess we should never pick a 1st rd QB again because some of them bust.

Won't argue that. But if supposedly guys like Willis and Corral were first round talents most years but all fell last year, the question is whether he can be as good as any of the guys coming out in this draft or is more like a true third rounder and more likely to bust.

Willis and Corral were always media overhypes. Willis has potential but is the definition of a project, whereas Corral has a great release and solid short to intermediate accuracy, but his deep accuracy leaves a LOT to be desired and his durability is a real concern, though I do think if he's able to work out Corral's a late 2nd prospect. 

There's a reason these prospects fell.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
