I was really trying to warm up to Levis but after losing to Vandy and throwing 0 TD's and 1 INT...I'm not too stoked on him.

Not a big Levis fan, but he is playing with turf toe and an injured shoulder.  It's his not throwing shoulder, but that still affects throwing more than people think.  Throw that in with terrible OL play and I can almost look past his second half performance of this season.  He also injured a finger or two on his throwing hand for what it's worth...

A big arm is lures people in all the time.  I admit, I almost got suckered in as well. I don't care if you can throw a football through a brick wall, if you can't read a defense, make poor decisions and fail to throw with anticipation into windows...all the arm strength in the world doesn't matter.

Levis vs Georgia this week, as if things couldn't get any uglier for him..

 

He is playing hurt and probably needs to sit at this point.  Turf tow, shoulder (nonthrowing), fingers (throwing), and who knows what else behind that line.  He looked solid when he was healthy last year, but playing against UGA with his OL will bring nothing good and possibly more injuries.  I still wouldn't write him off, but I also wouldn't draft him in the top of the first round or possibly first in general..

Not true. Stroud's stats. Penix's stats. Stroud is considered one of the more accurate QBs in this class and Penix has the same completion percentage, 67.1%. Penix also just threw these two bombs Saturday: 62 yarder, 76 yarder.

The way I gage arm strength is their fast ball to get it into tight windows. Or zipping it to the sidelines from the far hash.

hes still on my radar, but so is Anthony Richardson...... honestly feels like the others belong with the 2022 bunch(tad better).....whom i famous said I wouldnt touch before 45th.....I'll dive in more after the playoff race is over........ I have been watching more CFB than previous.

I still think the BPA in the first is the way, followed by dart for a QB with the next pick.......even if you have to trade up into the late 20s...... 

tepper can win me back if he pulls off my philly plan...

The title of the thread is "If Young and Stroud are gone" and the question is what we will do.

The answer is about one third of this board will whine, moan, and complain about how we would have had the second coming of Dan Marino had we just lost all 17 games.  And in fact, any year that we are not going to win the Super Bowl we should strive for 0-17. 

Of course, that plan means the Panthers should have never won a game in our 28 year history, but think of all the elite QBs we would have drafted with the #1 pick.

Can you Phil me in?  My plan and has been for a while--trade back for Mayer, THEN get the QB. Another trade back in the mid-rounds should get us around 10 picks.  We need every last one of them.

#1- Hire Shane Steichen as HC 

#2- Sign Minshew to a team friendly deal

#3- ????(let shane figure out the QBs and whether to draft one)????

#4- Profit form a weak NFC south thats lost Tom and Kamara.

Ah, but wait.  The flaw in that plan is that I was reading something earlier that Brady may not retire.  I guess he is contemplating the Favre plan.....play until somebody removes your memory of who you are. 

Of course, the Bucs may not want him back, either, since his contract after this year is voided out.

None of that is in our control, and probably doesn't matter all that much, anyway.  What is in our control (#1-4) looks good, Brady or no Brady.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
