The Texans are taking a QB at #1.  So it will be down to Levis and the other QB for us if the order stays the same.  The question is does the Seahawks continue to roll with Geno or take their QB of the future? In that case Seattle takes a QB too, Levis is staring us straight in the face.

Yeah and we will roll with Gardner Mischew or Foles next year so we can all talk about how we are in playoff contention in week 13 with a sub .500 record. Can’t wait.

Anyone thinking Levi's is better than Corral hasn't been paying attention. Unless we can move up behind Chicago we are better off taking someone else.

We aren't going to be in position to draft a QB in round 1 unless we trade up or something. I don't think the way our team is built that a franchise QB is necessary for us to make the playoffs. We just need competence at the position and a guy who can make occasional big throws in spots. Kinda like how we won with Delhomme or the Titans with Tannehill.

San Francisco lost Garrapolo for the season today. Mr. Irrelevant of the 2022 draft was the only quarterback they had left. Brock Purdue from Iowa State went 25 for 37 with over 200 yards passing. Last player drafted in 2022. Dang, we should be able to find a quarterback in the draft.

All we need is a top five oline, a top three running back, a top 10 wide receiver, and a top three tight end like the 49ers...

With the amount of very good skill players they have on offense, any QB should be able to slot right in and do well

This is the classic fan mistake. One game does not a career make. A few games does not a career make. 

Panther fans seem to be particularly susceptible to this in our post Cam Newton QB desert. Will Grier, Kyle Allen, Taylor Heinickie, Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold, PJ Walker, Baker Mayfield, Matt Corral.....people keep prematurely jumping on these bandwagons in desperation.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
