Some of y’all I swear. Point of the whole thread is just go try to win. 

Then say that lmao, that still doesn't control the fact that our offense is poo and most of us fabs know that while these players are going to play to win, long term it's best for the Panthers to try to hit on a 1st round QB plain and simple.

We're not seriously going to compete without an above average signal caller in the backfield. The NFL has proven this time and time again.

At some point we really need to draft a QB. Most starters are first round picks. So we likely need to get our guy there. It doesn’t have to be the top pick, but we need to find a solution via the draft.

Logical.  

College play can really over/under emphasize the ability of a player.  You see it every year.  2022 the best QB in that draft just might be Bailey Zappe.

That's literally one draft class, and lbr that's only because Fields and Jones were left. I love Horn but it'd be stupid to take him if Lawrence or Wilson were on the board given what we had at QB.

It's not even just the fact that "Haha QB if you get the #1 pick", even last year i'd say take Hutchins or trade down if we had #1 even with all our QB problems, but the fact that it is literally our weakest position and there's good prospects thereat the top of the draft.

I agree, at that point if we had Wilson or Lawrence at our pick it would have been insane not to take them.  That said, how many of huddlers would be screaming bust on either of them.  I say the book is still out on both.  I've seen Lawrence make some sweet throws and than just throw a terrible Int.   Same with Wilson.

Nothing guarantees anything, here’s some actual data.

# of super bowl winning QBs by pick in the past 20 years:

#1 - 3 Super Bowl Winning QBs

#10 - 1

#11 - 1

#18 - 1

#24 - 1

#32 - 1

#75 - 1

#88 - 1

#199 - 1

#227 - 1

The #1 pick has produced 3x more Super Bowl winning QBs than any other individual pick. Additionally, 3 other #1 overall picks, a #2 overall pick, and a #3 overall pick all played in Super Bowls over that same period and lost. 10 of the past 20 Super Bowls have featured at least one QB picked in the top 3 overall picks.

I mean, most of the best QBs did go high. Mahommes, Allen, Herbert, Burrow. Murray and Stafford haven’t been great so far but they’re good QBs who were drafted high. Watson on the field is good, drafted high. Only a few of the really good ones were drafted outside the first round.

The Panthers options:

draft elite talent and hire competent staff to give best chance of success 

or

pick up an unwanted FA QB that has had little mediocrity play that no one else wants and hope they turn out

newsflash: option 2 is what we have been doing. historically it doesn’t usually work out and it didn't here either

newsflash #2: a worthwhile FA qb with options will turn this dumpster fire down. It’s already happened. Even coaches it’s happened lol they aren’t playing here, why would they?

soooo yea just what exactly is the plan to find a franchise QB? What is the Panther’s best chance?

or better question, why is this so hard to understand?

Most QBs taken high in the last 10 years have been busts. Just play for the wins. 

Ok cool great point. Let’s continue to win meaningless games and keep rolling out the bridgewaters, darnolds, mayfields, walkers of the world. I can tell you what that’ll guarantee.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
