But honestly, I think this reporter guy is full of poo and just talking out of his ass on the off chance that we don't draft a QB. We don't have a coaching staff yet. The folks with a lot of input on this aren't in place yet. True organizational level scouting on draft prospects is really just getting going. If you're saddling a new coach with Corral and/or Darnold, then yeah... welcome back, Wilks. Because dudes with other options are gonna peace out on that noise.

We don’t even have a GM yet. Or really even an owner. Despite the positions not being vacant.

Will Kunkle who covers the Panthers just said on WFNZ 

“I don’t think the Panthers draft a QB”  

“They don’t like any of the QBs that are expected to be available.  And do not want to move up for one of these guys.”

Derek Carr, draft a guy where we're comfortable taking one.  Carr, rookie, Corral, and Darnold go into camp.

Why would Darnold go into camp if they're not going to re-sign him? 🤔

It's mandatory that each off season sports reporters turn to "anonymous sources" to tell fan bases their favorite team's secret thoughts on the draft and which player and position they value. These "anonymous sources" are usually the either the sports writer's imagination, or people who are not involved in the draft process. The reason for making up stories is to generate clicks for money, and because sports writer's are held to the lowest possible standards when it comes to the draft. It's essentially print whatever you want to get attention, and just make sure your tall tale references anonymous sources who will never be named because they don't exist.

An anonymous source told me that we're interested in taking a WR at the 9th pick. "We just don't like the value for a QB at 9." said my anonymous source. No I won't name the source, not even after the draft is over. You'll never know my source.

I think people are just trying to read between the Tea leaves about the news that CJ Stroud might be going back to school, because Levis’ odds to go #1 have shot up tremendously over the past eight hours.

I think he’d have a decent chance to win a Natty but I think next years class qb caliber is gonna bump him down stock wise and I doubt his ceiling changes.

Oh by the way the next step is to say the contrary with another anonymous source, so I'll go ahead in do that part now ahead of time.

An anonymous source told me that the Panthers are in fact interested in taking a QB at 9th. "We like this group of QB's, but we want to be smart and stay put. A guy we like may fall."

I'll do the other ones that are being written now for the coming weeks and months ahead.

The Panthers are looking to trade up for a QB according to my source.

The Panthers are looking to trade down for a QB according to my source.

And a few other variations of these types of made up stories.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
