True and it will come down to picking a Josh Allen and not a Darnold, Rosen or Mayfield. It’s really that simple but draft position can’t always be fixed. In this draft, a QB needy team may not trade down or you might lose a ton of draft capital that we need.

Also, if you notice with my list, many of those guys barely played. Your list has several playoff QBs and a SB winner (albeit injured but was 11-2 and an MVP candidate before injury).

Almost all the QB’s I listed have a win percentage under .500 (which is why I look at them as busts, they weren’t franchise guys). The best win percentage was Trubisky of those QB’s and he’s barely over. Wentz could’ve been but the injury ruined him. Those QB’s were can’t miss, most pro ready for the most part QB’s that teams tanked for that didn’t elevate the franchises that they were with.

Jones has played good as a game manger this year. I don't think they'd be looking to upgrade unless a Top 10 QB suddenly became available 

Yeah that coaching staff has Jones functioning, if they like a guy they'll go for one. Levis or Hooker/some other guy who's not in the discussion yet could fall in their lap.

Yep. Ironically, they're really regretting not picking up Jones' 5th year option right now even though at the time it was absolutely the right decision not to pick it up. Had they picked it up they could draft say a Richardson and not have to play him right away. Now they might be looking at a situation where they have to franchise Jones which will cost them a lot more than his 5th year option would've. They're crazy if they ink him to a long term deal. He's still a JAG.

Yeah the option would have been around $20M and the tag is probably $30M. He's realistic worth is a huge question mark. Lots of guys got overpaid the last 5 years so I see teams going more conservative with that type.

Reality. We're terrible. We've been terrible for years. Winning a terrible division and getting our teeth kicked in by whichever team doesn't win the NFC East while costing ourselves 10 spots of draft position per round would honestly be the worst case scenario.

We lost to the Giants by 3 in NY back when we were under Rhule and had an awful Baker under center. That’s the team that’s supposedly gonna destroy us in the first round of the playoffs? The Panthers team that showed up last Sunday against the Bucs is night and day different from that team that lost by 3 to the Giants in Week 2. We just have to wait and see if that game was a fluke or if we might actually have made strides.

Or Jordan Love, Paxton Lynch, Johnny Manziel, Teddy B, Brandon Weeden, The Golden Calf of Bristol, Brady Quinn, Jason Campbell, JP Losman, Rex Grossman and Patrick Ramsey who are the other QBs selected in the 1st at 20+ in the past 20 years.

Man, Jason Campbell is a real 'I wonder' on this list. Dude had a differnet coach almost every year and was constantly shuffled, which while partly a product of his play also mad eit impossible for him to settle in anywhere. I'm not saying he would have been a star, but he showed some big flashes.

      I'm gonna be a grandpa!  My 2 year old son sat on my lap Panther's inaugural season in Clemson.  Die hard fans ever since.  Now he's going to be a daddy and sharing the fan tradition with a custom made shirt.  Check out the little fella in the sonogram (look closely).

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By Basbear · Posted

      Watch out now...... I agree but many others disagree with this line of thinking.  I seen a recent summary too- Which would you rather have the best safety or the 8th best edge? Best safety maybe kyle hamilton, the 8th best edge is Maxx Crosby. Id take maxx even with Myles or TJ on the roster. Plus if you don't like Maxx as 8th best, Id take whoever the 8th best edge is over the Kyle.  Panthers need a starter level edge, the only realistic shot is using the 1st rounder. But if somehow a stud LT pulls out a gas mask and falls to 19, draft them if much higher ranked.  The funny deal is those teams drafting in the late portion of drafts don't need edge, QB, WR, or OT..... I wonder why?!??? hmmmmmmm.... plus it pays off for them, cause they do need OG, ILB, TE, safety..... and now they get a top level player to remain great....

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Wrong conclusion. FOs should look at this and say “What can I do to better set up my top pick to succeed?” Not say welp I guess I just shouldn’t draft the most talented player at the most important position. It’s like saying the Cavaliers shouldn’t have drafted Lebron because they did a poor job building around him and he didn’t start winning championships until he left. It’s silly. Should teams also look and say “wow look at all these super bowls won by QBs drafted in the 5th round, guess that’s the best round to draft a QB.” Nonsense.
