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

      I thought his contract was fat to make it happen and no one really thought he would playout at least that 4th year, just a bonus year to make the numbers work while including the guaranteed money that made it happen. It could be his last contract and to me it reads as he has 2 years and then they will see what happens then at a higher then normal cost. That QB room and the owner/gm meeting room away from cameras too. Just depends on the personality types. Cousins is a old pro with a fat contract and a no trade clause. IT could blow up or be just fine this year. By next year that's when it ramps up. Cousins could get a trade done and find another spot to finish this contract. It's 35 mil dead cap to cut/trade him after year 2 and 12.5 mil dead cap after year 3. If Cousins wanted to play somewhere else then he could give that a try but either way after year 2 the team has options. If the rookie grows and is worth it at year three then even that dead cap would just be a normal QB pay outside the rookie wage scale. Looks like they may get 1 year of rookie pay advantage and then the option year if things go well for them so 3 years lost and 2 left.  They should have given a heads up to the owner, Cousins tho. They had plenty of time to say what the plan was. Cousins isn't young but it's still a trashy move when he just got there 2 months ago. That was also a rather big move considering the player and their needs. Just dumb way of doing it all IMO but I always get 'it was for a QB and you have to take shots when you see them'.

      Grades are in; how did Panthers do in this years draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      That is correct and valid, and I def thought of it--but filling needs and building is one brick at a time.  The Panthers cannot afford to miss on 75% of their day 2 and 3 picks as is the norm.

      Thanks Frank.  I enjoyed the video and agree we have been saying alot of the same thing-- The biggest question mark on the OL is not center--it is left tackle.  This has to be Ickey's year. Sanders getting cut does not make sense.  If he can look good behind a good OL, and if Brooks is going to be phased in (injury), you keep him because it makes no financial sense to cut him this year. The only reason I could see keeping Ian Thomas on the roster is goal line offense.   I personally think his blocking is overrated. This guy said JT Sanders was also a good blocker--I have not seen that.  However,  I think Tremble and Sanders has the potential to be a good TE combo. He was hard on the CB selection in the draft.  5th round for a depth CB is fine.   I am not sure what he was expecting.  I think they are going to sign another former Gamecock who used to play CB soon. Finally, he is realistic about Young's year, but he is in "wait and see" mode.  That is how you approach it.  Cut him before building around the QB position or build around the QB position and give him another year?  It is a no brainer. We are probably going to sign a free agent QB to keep on the PS when cuts are made.
