Funny you mention Patrick Mahomes.... He wasn't pick number one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or even nine. This obsession you people have with pick number one is unhealthy. The vast majority of the top quarterbacks in the league right now were picked outside the top five and many were picked much later than that.

And when we trip into the Playoffs, and Sam plays horrible, and this board unleashes all levels of hell on Sam ... then what? Then nothing. We need an elite QB here.

Don't disagree.  I would hate to take the south.  Don't mind a few wins but going to the playoffs would spell disaster.  We'd be one and done.  I hate saying that.

Most fans would rather have a few meaningless wins than try to build to get back to the superbowl 

If there was another Mahomes in the draft, our fans would still want to win 

I guess we really are not football smart 

 
People also ask
 
 
 
Where is Mahomes being drafted?
 
 
The Chiefs ended up taking Mahomes at pick No. 10. The media could not be played.Sep 12, 2022

I actually want the higher pick because I want to at least have the opportunity to get the next mahomes. Having pick 1 or 2 just means there's 8 less teams to get our guy before we pick.

I think the point is you're just as likely to get the next Mahomes at 1 as... Where he was drafted, at 10.

Edit: the likelihood is very low either way lol

People just don't have any patience. They want wins now and Superbowls now.

 

"YES! WE WON! But ... Sam still suuuucks, lol. Sam lololol. He suuuucks."

>>Sam manages to get us into the Playoffs by winning the ugly South.<<

"PLAYOFFS, BABY! But Sam and Baker suuuuuuuck. Put PJ in! Any given Sunday with PJ! Sam suuuuucks!"

>>Sam plays terrible in Playoffs. PJ comes in and sucks too.<<

"F Rhule for Sam! F Tepper for Baker! PJ can't do ANYTHING with this line! DJ sucks! We had a real chance!"

>>Panthers draft a LB<<

"Great pick! It's who I wanted. Corral and PJ are going to battle it out in camp. I see 10 wins!"

I get that. Of course to be able to find that guy you need someone who can recognize and develop QB talent and that's something we haven't had here in a long fuging time.

Mahomes also benefited from a talented roster. I'm sure the chiefs take him higher than 10 if they can, even.  But the reason I don't get stressed is just as many of today's great QBs weren't drafted in like the top 3 as were...

I hate to say it, but if you want to win every week, you are following the wrong team. Ever since Cam got lit up and his shoulder officially died, we are 20-49. We are 0-4 against good teams and 4-4 against bad teams. We are squarely in the mediocre to bad teams.

I’m switching to playoff rooting because I think we do have a shot after all the losses today, especially considering 7-10 could win this division. We have 1 good team left on the schedule so we aren’t in line for a top 5 pick.

We are about as likely to finish in the top 5 of the draft as we are to back into the playoffs.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
