I wouldn't be so sure. there are teams above us that have quarterbacks and we have some ammunition to make a jump if we need it. my hope is that Denver will be motivated to push that Seahawks pick down the board and will stay competitive through the remainder of the year instead of packing up. If we can get Chicago at #2 overall, we could make a compelling case to jump Seattle, Indy, and Detroit for Stroud if we liked him enough. Chicago needs a lot. Arguably more than we do and we have an offensive line ready for a plug and play starter. They might be best taking the draft capital and going playmaker with our 1st and still getting their choice of the WR/TE crop. Detroit would have better picks to offer, but it would make sense for them to pick twice and who knows what they think of Jared Goff right now with how Dan Campbell has these guys playing. They might give him one more season. It's going to depend a lot on not just our pick, but the least QB needy team that ends up in the Top 3. 

If we trade up for a QB this draft, Fitts needs to be fired ASAP.

The coaches/team will feel they still have a shot at the division, and especially with TB playing Cincy, they are right.  So we'll see how it goes...

Exactly.

Unless Tom Brady turns into Patriots Tom Brady against Cincy, we are looking once again at the Panthers controlling their own destiny once more next week.

Maybe if Tom and the Bucs didn't stink like horsesh-t this year, the coaches/team WOULD be embracing the tank right now.

Nah. Stroud can't play with any sort of rush near him. Young at least dances in the backfield or finds a way to make plays even when rushed. Both should be gone before the Panthers pick though, which means the Panthers are going to have to make a choice between Levis and Richardson if they go QB. Richardson needs work and Levis seems to be a Darnold clone. I'd prefer swinging for the fences and going Richardson between those two.

Yeah.  If Levis is a Darnold clone, we don't want to go through that again.

Take a shot with Richardson and Start Corral.

Fitts should be let go anyway. Tepper needs to bring in a consultant and let them pick a new GM. The new GM then needs to pick the coach and go from there. That ties the coach and GM at the hip and puts them on the same clock.

Funny thing is if we finish at #7 by season's end, Levis is likely the pick.

I could easy live with Levis being the Panthers 1st rd choice. However, with a #7 pick there would be lots of options, it's not like the Panthers don't need help all across the board.

If they have a top ten pick, I can't imagine them not taking a quarterback.

If it doesn't happen now, it won't happen to after the draft.  Too short of a turn around for an incoming GM unless Morgan is promoted.  All the work that was put in this fall will go up in smoke.  Same thing happened with Hurney.  Ironically enough, it was arguably Marty's best draft.

Bingo!  So why is it QB or bust with almost everyone?  Levis, to me, has bust written all over him.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Given the draft makeup after the top-10 or so, I feel many teams are going to be hoping for trade downs. Which makes downward movement a bit more tricky.  So they may just go for the best impact they see fit and surprise.  I mean, can use someone at all levels of our defense (ILB, DE, S and Slot). Offense need more OL bodies and could use another WR. No way we can be zeroed in on a particular position.  Makes me damn curious to our board and how they’re weighing immediate vs long term impact.  I still see multiple guys rather than positions in play. S: Thieneman, McNeil-Warren ILB: Rodriguez, Allen DL: Faulk, McDonald WR/TE: Saddiq, Cooper, Boston, Conception OL: Freeling, Proctor, Lomu, Iheanachor Heck, even the EDGE group in our range is interesting like Parker. - Then there’s these guys that are in that 19/51 fringe range that seem to be really good fits-Haulcy, J Rod, Golday, etc.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      I guess I could see it if we got breaks, but we got the breaks this year and it was still 8 wins.   Also I dont see TB crumbling, they are a competent franchise that hit the injury bug last year I dont know what to think about NO so theres that. Atlanta majorly upgraded at coach so there is always something to having a competent grown up leading a team.

      Glad he's coming back but honestly surprised. I guess the new staff convinced him there was going to be PT for him. It was baffling how Hubert never played him. Its not like we were a top 10 type team looking like a contender and had it all figured out. We should've been giving him opportunities. There was no reason not to. Utter lack of bench development and hard headedly running his starters into the ground because he was afraid to go to his bench was an knowing issue with Hubert that he just wasn't growing out of with more HC experience. If you don't play them how are they supposed to develop? And his starters could do no wrong. Didn't matter what they did, they wouldn't get yanked and their playing time wouldn't decrease. But if a bench guy came in and made one mistake he was probably getting buried for three or four games. That's a recipe for your starters playing sloppy and your bench playing tight and scared. Saw it year after year.
