Carr’s destination betting odds

I'll just say I wouldn't hate it if we picked Carr up. I'm a fan and it would help us focus the draft on getting an upgrade at WR, TE, and/or CB.

He'd be more expensive than a rookie, but we'd come out of the gates a lot quicker, we'd have a really good QB with a huge chip in his shoulder, and we wouldn't have to give up any draft capital to get him.

Basically I'm good if we draft one of the top 3 or if we pick Carr up.

I just don’t see this team making the Super Bowl with Carr. He had some really bad games in 2022 and while some of that may be on the team him throwing 3 INTS against the Steelers when the Raiders needed to win that game has me worried we will pick up a QB that can possibly get us to the playoffs but not the Super Bowl. 
Carr is gonna want a long term deal and I don’t feel good about giving a 3 or 4 year deal to a QB that isn’t that impressive and will need a really good team around him to be successful. 
Carr is more Cousins than Stafford, imo.

This is almost assuredly the discussion Reich's coaches and Tepper are having at the moment.

Hopefully Tepper shows patience and realizes this team has tried this reclamation QB stuff 3 years and in a row and has yet to work out.

This is going to happen isn't it? It makes too much sense not to.

If the Panthers were holding the first pick in this year's draft, I'm almost certain they'd be picking a QB.

Unfortunately, they're sitting at 9 and moving up to #1 would likely cost more draft capital than a team with so many needs can afford to give up.

Carr is MUCH better than Darnold and Mayfield. He's also better than Teddy Bridgewater.

We should still pass on signing him and DRAFT A fuging FRANCHISE QB!

Even if Carr signs, why would that stop the panthers from drafting a QB??

What needs? #2 DE? #2 CB? #3 WR? TE?

Which of those needs are holding us back more than not having a QB is?

I agree. But maybe they do both at least.  My left testicle says this is probably going to happen.

Carr is at an entirely different level than any of the QBs that have played for the Panthers during the last 5 years.  He isn't top five, but given a decent defense he is in the top 10-12 range.

It wouldn’t but Carr will likely want to sign with a team that will guarantee he gets the starting job. Meaning I doubt he wants to sign with a team with a first round rookie right behind him.

I think one of big things on the table is the current NFC south QB group. Whoever lands Carr has the best QB in the division, by far.....no matter the feelings of haters.

Ive thought for over 2 months, 4 QBs will be drafted in the first 8 picks.....Carr doesnt cost draft picks..... Plus Irsay just f'd up and gave away the farm about colts QB plan. 

Carrs deal could be in the "cheap rebuilding my self vein" or it could be a tepper flexer........(TM)

Carr is Cousins level. Meaning he shrinks during big games and often commits terrible mistakes at the worst of times or just disappears from the game entirely. If that is what the team wants then so be it. At least we’ll make the playoffs but always get beat in the playoffs. Vikings of the NFC South.

Nothing, Panthers need to continue to draft QBs until they find the right one.  We've now got the coaches capable of developing rookie QBs.  We should take advantage of it.

I'm bracing myself for it.
