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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
