Lol. Reeled one in. Of course I’m not being serious, hence the wasted money comment. He looked like he was running in cement. We gave him $450k for every return where he didn’t put the ball on the ground.

Gotcha.  Yeah the wasted money comment was clear but it was the "he shined" part of your post that was hard to infer sarcasm from.  I was like.....were we watching the same guy?

We have neglected KR/PR forever in the draft.

Hence why I said in my offseason predictions that we would do so again.

I've never really understood why. KR/PR is free field position. We have all seen what guys like Hester could do in the return game. An extra 6-8 yards on a return can mean the difference in a game, especially if it's coming down to a field goal.

I can't explain it either. We just seem to think any JAG WR can get it done.

Also, Clayton Tune has the most Brock Purdy potential in this class. 

tune has my attention. i mean in no way should we draft somoene like him hoping that he could be the starter, but if we draft a QB in the first round (and we should absolutely do that), we should also draft another one later...or at least pick up one as a udfa. i mean after the first 4 guys there's a good crop of "maybe" guys out there who would be worth a shot. 

as much as i like even stroud and young, there's no way i would be ok coming out of this draft with just one QB.

I liked Tune a lot at first but his deeper balls and throwing motion are big knocks.  He's close with most else.

Size - check, Enough speed - check, led comebacks/good poise - check, good awareness/pressure sensitive - check, he's tough as nails too.  

Issues: He throws like a baseball, he has almost a wind up.  Also loses accuracy beyond 20-yarders.  

Would love him R4-6.  Originally thought he was a riser and was liking him, but he's got some limitations. Just doesn't quite have the arm talent and accuracy on deeper routes.

I thought the 28 catches this year was the breakout? I means he did get his first and only TD at that pivotal moment in the 4th at Cincy when we were only down 42-7.

I really hope we get the new QB some WR/TE help. No CMC out of the backfield and just DJ doesn’t cut it.

It’s gonna be okay bruv.

We keep saying this.  Hopefully, this year will be an actual breakout year for Marshall. 

He’s flashed.

 

He might end up being a bust, but there has been enough malfunction in this organization’s leadership (and QB) that it’s not unreasonable to assume the jury is still out on not just Marshall, but many young players. 
 

That being said, Marshall isn’t stopping me from drafting another receiver by any means.

yeah i wouldn't want any of these QBs after the first 4 until well after round 4. i'm thinking 5th or later. and maybe a udfa as a practice squad guy. i'd like to see a full QB room and with a good few options, esp. in case of injury. i'd like the panthers under Reich to be QB university.

I'm trying to question myself on where I got with my QB preferences this week. Take a sober look back at the season and ignoring all the hype circles and mocks:

-I'm still really trying to like Levis but still having a very difficult time.  I want to like him and get hyped but just can't. 

-I bought into McKee's story and potential a bit too much wanting someone to rise from that second tier ranks.  At the end of the day, he simply should have produced more.  He just doesn't give me the feel of a guy who can score at will.  Closer to Davis Mills 2.0 than a 1st Rounder. 

-I've been a bit hard on Jaren Hall and Hendon Hooker--Looking back, they have some great qualities and had some really nice stretches.  They're rising again for me in the non-top tier.  If you can get past their age (similar to Levis), I think there's great reasons to take them.  

-I still am a bit weary with Duggan even if he looked like one of the better guys at the Senior Bowl.  Just doesn't do enough as a passer to warrant anything more than a 4th.

-Jake Haener is the only one after the top-4 that I've remained high on outside of Young & Stroud.  I was following him last year, was so bummed he had to miss some weeks, but I just see him playing on Sundays.  If a guy like Bailey Zappe does, Haener sure as hell does and more.   He could be a 3rd rounder come draft time.  Seems to have beefed up a tad as well which was needed (really his biggest knock, he's got so much to like outside of being a pencil).

-Still really wish four guys declared: Jayden Daniels, Cameron Ward, Michael Penix, & Michael Pratt.  They could've made money and climbed up this QB board easily.  Penix specifically.  He could get lost in the shuffle next year.  

-Bagent, T-R, O'Connell & Cuninngham are all kind of off my radar/UDFAs

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
