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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
