NFC South Division being weak next year could influence trading up for a QB this year?

With how weak the division looks to be next year and the Panthers possibly having an easy path to the playoffs do you think that will affect the front offices decision to trade up this year for a QB? The 19th pick is the lowest pick for a playoff team. Will Fitterer take this into account and value our future 1st round picks less thinking we will win the division easily next year. If we do not trade up for QB this year the price may cost a lot more to trade up if we win the division next year.

It’s not a bad question to ask. This and next years’ first and second to move up and get Stroud? Hell yea. Throw in a player if we need to, hell throw in Burns if for no other reason to satisfy the whiners still bitching about not taking the Rams offer earlier. Could be argued to be similar value if it gets us out QB.

I mean, this year it was pretty easy. Came down to not leaving backup CBs on an island with Mike Evans.  Someone couldn’t figure that easy path out and we missed the playoffs. 

This season was an anomaly. That's rarely going to happen in any conference. In other words it was a fluke.  You go into a season assuming every team you face is going to be a juggernaut and you will have to fight tooth and nail every single game.

I don’t disagree, but next year seems like it’ll be another anomaly. The Bucs window is done. The Falcons are a joke on the same level as the Rhule Panthers. The Saints, IF they find a QB, are the only real threat and even then the Panthers without a QB are still a better team than the Saints without a QB so they’d have to find a better one than us. Cuz they ain’t out-coaching us.

I'm not buying that just yet. Things can change quickly in the offseason.

Trading up for a QB in the draft is a death blow for the current HC. If they find a franchise QB, chances are better that the QB stays when Reich is fired and the next coach inherits a developed QB they can build around before a championship is won. Expect a decade before a move like this pays off in the Panthers current situation.

It's a fair question but I don't see how you can assume success with a rookie qb and new coach. Hell, I'm sure that thinking went into play when Denver traded two 1sts and 2nds for Russell Wilson. They were taking a strong core with a great defense with the one missing piece being a qb and competent coaching; fair assumption they should have been in instant playoff contention. Well fast forward a year later, and Denver is giving up the 5th and 36th pick in the draft this year. And that's with what was thought to be a known commodity with Russell Wilson. Now take a rookie qb instead who is never a sure thing, and I think you can see where I'm going with this. We could crash and burn and then end up giving away a top 3 pick that could've been Drake Maye or Caleb Williams or whoever separates themselves next year.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
