That's the thing tho, you won't need to trade up to get him, hell you could probably trade DOWN and still get him. 

This. We would look smart as hell if we take a top WR, CB or LB at 1.09, then leverage the second rounders to come back up into the 1st and grab AR or other falling QB.  

Could see AR being the guy who falls in this draft.

RE: OP - I think we will look dumb as hell if we trade up and don’t draft Bryce or Stroud.

I said the same phucking thing our coach said.

That you have to be able to win from the pocket.

 

Not that only Statues win Superbowls.

 

FFS reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

 

Fields, Vick, The Golden Calf of Bristol, etc can't win from the pocket.

I’m talking about this original arguments months ago. Pocket passer was your original argument. You have moved and shuffled it to where 1 epic bust, Vick, and now Fields who is still pretty raw an developing fit into running QBs. 
You don’t remember claiming Russ didn’t run that much during his Super Bowl run? 
Regardless everyone agrees a QB has to be able to throw a ball. I’m just glad you have conquer33 your fear of QBs that can run. 
Here is another take as obvious as QBs have to be able to pass. They have to also read defenses. It’s why Sam Darnold will never win a Super Bowl. Darnold, Couch, and possibly Zach Wilson can be added to that category.

You can throw fields in there and Lamar barely escapes the definition 

Lamar doesn't escape the definition - he is clearly a running QB.  His career he averages 175 passing yd/gm and rushes 10-12 times.  And he runs primarily an RPO and designed QB run scheme.  His passing accuracy numbers are definitely better than previous running QB's, but his postseason performance shows the same problem - he can run successfully but is forced to use his arm to win and he can't....

Today's NFL more than ever is about passing QB's - I think mobile QB's like Rogers, Wilson, Murray, Mahomes, Trevor are taking over due to the defenses getting so much faster/better the last decade.  Pocket passers still have significant success, but the running QB still hasn't been able to dominate consistently.  If Hurts wins the SB he will be the first running QB in NFL history to do so....that might be the start of that style being consistent but it won't change the fact that it hasn't before.  The irony is he won't be first because he ran better than the other - it will be because his arm was better - so it is still the QB arm that is most important.  I'll take leadership and an accurate arm over a Wildcat QB all day long.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Way too many of y'allare panicking about Icky. He holds no cards right now. His agent knows it. He's under contract next year with the 5th year option and is in no place to demand a huge deal rehabbing from an injury with a very spotty recovery history for NFL players. Any deal that would be inked right now would be far off his healthy market value. What's he gonna a do? Hold out and forego $17M after suffering a potential career altering or even ending injury? There's no pressing need right now to do anything long-term with either Icky or Coker. Chill. The Panthers hold all the cards currently with both these situations.

      Here is what I think.  1.  Not sure about the contract with Ickey, but I would let him walk if he wants big money, sign him to a back load contract to play here in the future--as a guard.  I am guessing that knee would be better at G than LT.  Draft a LT and re-sign Nijman and BC if possible.   2.  I love Coker, but the injury history is not a deterrant.  I think we need a #2--Coker is an ideal #3 imo.  He can play #2 for 2026, but whatever you do, you sign him NOW.  He should not demand elite money--3 TDs for 395 yards is not negotiation gold.  Lock him up now on a contract that is aligned with that level of production. 3.  XL--this is an unpopular opinion, but we knew XL was developmental when we drafted him.   Maybe play him at the #3.  Financlally, you keep him on the roster and you hope to unlock his potential in year 3.  I am upset with him, but he has talent.  Can he put it together?  Unlikely, but we cant improve every position that we need to upgrade. 4.  the OL is interesting.  First, our guards are contractually locked in until 2027; moving either is not worth the cost.  Extend them if anything.  I do not see Ickey coming back as an OT--but maybe a G.  We must draft a LT and C or RT.  Re-sign Nijman and BC.  We must also bring in or draft a starting Center.  I am concerned that they re-sign Corbett late in free agency, when his price drops.  I think we will draft one.  (In other words, sign your depth--BC, Nijman, and maybe even Corbett and Cuhran.  Draft a center and OT. 5.  Sign a FA (Chenal) and add ILB depth later in draft.  Re-sign Rozeboom (reasonable contract--2-3m) 6.  This is why I do not believe in giving RBs second contracts--they rarely play up to them.  Nonetheless, Chuba is a leader, we have Entienne, and Brooks is going to give it another try.  Dowdle is gone.   What is not mentioned is the need for an edge--imo, we have to big edges that can hold the edge (Jones II, Scourton)  Princely and a free agent pass rushing specialist (Reddick?) should make edge better.

      1. Nothing. He's under contract. He may have been up for an extension before the injury but now you sit and wait it out.  2. He's an ERFA. Tender him at a high level for little money and then he's a RFA after next season where we have the right to match any offer he fields. Zero pressure to do anything here long-term. 3. I'd probably take literally any trade offer made. If there aren't any you bring him to camp to compete and see what happens. 4. I honestly expect an OT in the first 3 rounds with Moton's age and possible degenerative knee issues combined with Icky's serious injury. We have both immediate and long-term need there. A stopgap bandaid vet feels necessary either way. 5. Sign a legit vet (Chenal). Re-sign Rozeboom at backup contract levels. Then LB is high on the list in the draft. 6. Yes. He looked good down the stretch. I'd always have a late round RB as a potential pick though. It's top of the list for positions where you can find surprising value deep in the draft. Plus I just want to stack talent there so I don't have to pay vets. RB is a draft 'em and let somebody else pay 'em position unless you have a truly elite talent there. Don't pay "good" ones.
