No, but only because it's one of the hardest things to do in all of sports.  I'm guessing that he will try, and I think that he has as good of a chance of getting it done as most out there...but it's just too hard to say I trust him to do it.

Carr, Rodgers, Corral, Draft.

Some type of this mix if I had to guess.

Which is why I was such a big fan of Steichen -- he has experience developing Herbert and Hurts. Herbert was picked high but was by no means a unanimous top QB choice and we could get a similar caliber prospect around 9 or maybe with a smaller trade up. Hurts was a 2nd rounder and many were not high on him at all pre-draft.

If you look at it from a lessons learned perspective for all parties involved (Reich, Fitt, Tepper), I gotta think we draft.  

I mean, Reich tried it with Wentz & Ryan.  We tried it with Teddy, Darnold & Baker.  Time to draft.  

I think the unexpected retirement of Luck really set Reich up for failure. After year 2 or 3 as a HC you are expected to win ASAP and I think that's what drove him to get retreads, they were trying to win playoffs and didn't have time for a rebuild. I think if you set expectations with Reich that he has to get the QB situation right and he has time, I think he'll feel a lot better about drafting a QB.

1000%. None of these guys want to try this again.

We’ll draft and maybe start Darnold for a few games.

Good thing Reich isn’t the GM and wasn’t for the Colts either, so those choices weren’t his and won’t be his here. 

HC is always the most important guy in the decision making in who to add at QB. QB is the position the HC works closest with and often the defacto leader of the team. They 100% need to be in sync and on the same page or the situation is set up for failure. Very possible Irsay set Reich up for failure with QB choices but I don't think that's what happened. I think Reich was very much in on acquiring those guys. Especially considering his history with Rivers and Wentz.

For background, Irsay makes Tepper look like the best owner in NFL history. From what I've seen from multiple people, he heavily pressured Reich for a win now QB, hence his trend of retreads.

Not sure how much is on Reich or ownership for that, but something to note. He did, however, try to hang his name on Wentz which backfired heavy.

Moving to one from 9 would look something like this: 2023:1rst, 2nd  2024:1rst 3rd  2024: 1rst

Thats a lot

I think we’d give up one future first and a bunch of other picks. I think 2 future 1sts is too much.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      By organicrusty1201 · Posted

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
