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.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
