Teams won’t trade out of the top pick when it’s a talent like Lawrence with little question marks. You can only get those guys by finishing last. 

My point wasn't their prospect rating - it was that the guy you trade up and draft could be either of those 2 possibilities while Carr is a known talent.  had nothing to do with Trevor's potential - it is his reality

You are calling CJ Stroud....ZACH F'N WILSON??? 

Funny GIF

You all are experts at missing the point....the point was trading up for the #2 ranked QB on the board which in 2021 was Wilson.  The risk that he ends up the same as Wilson are higher than him ending up like Trevor is the point.  Try and catch it. 

And don't you EVER use a meme from one of the most underrated movies of all time against me again...show respect to Face Off

You stated there is not one worth trading up for like a Lawrence.  Teams are never going to be able to trade up for picks like that because they aren't for sale.  Mahomes and Allen were question marks that teams traded up for.  Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't.

Darnold, Trubisky are two examples - they went #3 and #2 in their drafts that teams gave up a ton thinking they were top tier franchise QB's.....yes it does happen.  But your last point was exactly what I said - you win some you lose some....but only some teams trade tons of picks for the risk and they usually regret it.....like the Jets and Bears.....who still suck because of it.

Is Carr winning us a SB?

 

He has 1 playoff appearance in his entire career. 

 

We dont need anymore bridge QB's. We will never get our franchise QB that way. Im sorry but your plan is what we have been doing for 3 straight years.

Bridging until you get a franchise QB is a very common strategy - and yes it does work.  There are tons of examples.  It's not like most of the teams in the NFL just go from franchise QB to franchise QB without bridges - they all do it. 

Some teams like Chicago and the Jets drop way too much draft stock and trade up to failure, some get lucky with Mr. Irrelevant.  But all of them sign bridge QB's while they try to find the next Franchise.

If you want to ignore the reality of the team's current situation and trade picks for one of these QB's that is fine, but don't act like bridge QB's until you get a true franchise QB in the draft is wrong - it happens every year with extremely successful franchises.

Im not a big Carr fan, but this is a fact. Since he entered the league, the raiders have had the 32nd defense. That puts alllllll sort of pressure on QBs, bring out the worst hero ball.

There are 2 types of bridge QB's.

 

#1 The bridge QB who is good enough to get you a playoff appearance and not much else.

#2 The bridge QB who is at the end of his career who can get you a top 5 pick.

 

Derrick Carr is #1. He does nothing but get us a mid round pick. The same thing Sam Darnold would get us. If we going bridge go get a guy like Brissett who has experience in Frank's system and that we know we can get a top 5 pick with him.

 

I don't see any appeal to Derrick Carr. He's simply not good enough to take your team anywhere. You think he's going to do any better than he did in Vegas?

 

We don't have the best WR in football and a top 5 TE. Vegas moved on for a reason.

We also don't have a terrible oline and one of the worst defenses in the NFL like the Raiders do. And pretty sure Waller and Renfrow were hurt a good half of the year.

I don't get the hate for Carr. Yes, I'd rather draft our QB than go after a FA, but Carr is better than a bridge QB IMO. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that he has the most game winning drives and 4th quarter comebacks in the NFL since 2015, which gives you an idea of how terrible their defense has been since 2015. It's not his fault he played for probably the most dysfunctional NFL team for his entire career so far that has made countless terrible draft picks and many terrible FA signings.

Yes...its the cost to find out thats too high in a draft like this.Trubisky is one of my boys but It was clear Chicago made a mistake.

now that we've hired Reich and the staff is taking shape, here's a few predictions:

- we will fill most of our holes in free agency, TE / DL / LB/ S.

- most of the veterans and Rhule's fringe players will get let go.

- we will 100% trade up for a QB, either Levis or Stroud.

- we will draft some sexy offensive players to compete with the guys we have currently.

- we may have a veteran QB but our rookie will start week 1.

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

      By cranky · Posted

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
