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.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
