Besides Young and Stroud, no other QB has me sold they would be a clear upgrade over PJ.

PJ walker has started 5 games in the NFL.  Here are his numbers in those starts:

91-137 66% 979 yds. 5 TDs, 4 Ints, 5 Sks, 3-2 record.

Here are the numbers for a certain all-everything QB in his first 5 games in the NFL (pie for the first to name him):

93-169 55% 1,142 yds., 3 Tds 12 Ints, 15 sks, 1-4 record.

The point is not to suggest these two are destined for the same things (as some will surely assume right away).  The point is that 5 games in is a little early to decide whether someone sucks and will always suck. The second guy improved significantly over the next several years. Chances are PJ isn't a long-term solution, but good lord we're 5 games in.  There is a learning curve in this league.

I wouldn't say we'd be judging him too soon--he's a 5 year vet UDFA with a sub 57% completion rate to speak to in college and under 58% for his NFL career so far.  He's just not the answer.

I agree he's probably not the answer.  And his college career is sub-par.  But when he starts, he's not too bad.  He's getting better - we should give him the rest of the season.  I think he is a solid tank commander.

If Stroud is not available, I'm iffy on Young. He is small and injury prone. I'd go will Anderson who is the best player in the draft. 

I dunno, I’m just not feeling defense this draft. Don’t get me wrong, I think he will be a great player but I just think our D is pretty stacked already so you have to start wondering about the whole “law of diminishing returns things.” Does adding another stout D player to what is already a strong D really move the needle for this team as a whole?!

Personally im starting to get hyped about the possibility of drafting Quentin Johnston in the first round, him paired up with DJ Moore as our no 1/no 2 would almost be like a video game. He is a 6’4 WR that runs a 4.4 and knows how to run routes.

If Matt Corral was Sam Howell I would definitely consider giving him a shot but he isn’t.  
 

If we are a position to take a QB we will…no question 

I see Levis as a bust right now though.  Hooker is playing elite right now but is old with very overrated athleticism.  We go down the line from there

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
