This all fuging day. Tanking doesn't guarantee poo but creating a winning mindset and culture does.

Other than a few years with Cam, that's what we've always done. It doesn't work. Stop being MID, Panthers. Get a damn QB.

Folks, 

You don’t have to pick a specific guy others want you to pick when you draft first overall. When you have that pick, you can take whoever you deemed to be “your guy”. Also don’t forget there’s a reason a team drafts first overall. They are a bad team. They have a harder time climbing their team out of the gutter compared to a guy drafted 15th overall.

The only thing that this chart tells me is that the current superstar QBs in todays game were picked in the 1st round, some of them may not have been top 5 picks but still in the first round. The right player with the right coaching/organization fit is huge, look at Josh Allen and Lamar. These guys were so raw, some even saw Lamar as a RB, coaching now a days needs to adapt to the player not the other way around.

So what's the point of this thread? Stick with PJ?

I mean ... you know how we got Cam, right? We drafted him.

Point of this thread is you don’t have to tank the season away to get a good QB because it’s usually a crapshoot anyways.

I see archetypes for the QB draft.  

there's the athlete, the game manager, the media favorite, then guys with talent who for whatever reason cant get out of their own way.   Injuries do fall into this category. 

I propose the "breakfast club"  QB class system.  

1 .the Princess

2. the Criminal

3. the Basket case

4. the Brain

5. the Jock

example recent class. Pickett is a princess. Willis is the Jock Bailey is the Brain.  it's between corrall and rudder to prove me wrong neither will end up the basket case or criminal. My money is on Ridder as the Criminal. 

just look at the OP's handy chart and you can't tell me Lawrence was not the princess of his class.  Have fun.

Why is everyone giving up on matt corral already

Well maybe because he was Rhule and generally unless they have real good reason the next staff isn’t invested in him. Corral didn’t show anything on film that I would consider real valuable for them to witness. So far. 
I see him as unknown still.

There wasn't a sure shot QB last season. The Panthers, needing a QB, drafted an OT with the number six pick. Not Pickett, not Willis, not Corral.

There's not a sure shot QB this year either, neither Young, Stroud or Levis is a top tier pick at QB.

I totally agree. Get as many wins as you can BUT it's probably unlikely they pick any of these guys at QB with a top 5-10 pick.

The risk would be huge taking any of these QBs this year top ten. Although I'm on the Levis as the top pick of this group bandwagon, I still don't think Levis is a bonafide top 10 pick, more like a late first, second round guy.

Not to high on this class at all. If there was a Cam in this draft I'd be all in but there is not.

I see us going BPA or something close to it.

A #1 pick doesn’t seem to do much justice unless you have a Luck or Newton in the draft- which there clearly isn’t this season. 

Thing about it is, Newton wasn't seen as a sure-fire, slam dunk pick going into that draft.

[CPantherKing]

3 QBs from all these drafts have won the SB, and only 1 of them was picked in the top 5.

Wilson, Foles, and Mahomes.

So, why take a 1st round QB unless they are pedigree and groomed to be an NFL QB before they hit college like a Manning?

1. Smallish

2. From a weird college offense

3. he is currently hurt with a major injury

4. he was a 3rd round pick

5. He looked bad in preseason

It would be nice if PJ was talented enough for us to be able to draft Richardson at the top of the 2nd and let him develop into a world beater 

you need to draft AR in the first because of the 5th year option

This is the move. If you need him to sit a year, which he does as of now, you want those 4 extra rookie years of his contract. This is probably why some team drafting in the back of the first takes a swing on him.
