What do you want Panthers to do this offseason?  

217 members have voted

  1. 1. What do you want Panthers to do regarding QB situation this offseason

    • Draft best available QB at current draft position (#9)
    • Trade up with Bears (#1) and draft a QB (whatever it takes)
    • Trade up with Cardinals (#3) and draft a QB (whatever it takes)
    • Sign Derek Carr and draft best available player at #9
    • Trade for Lamar Jackson, fully guaranteed contract (Watson like trade)

I think the options are too open ended. If any of the following happened, I'd be happy, roughly in order:

1. Trade 2 1sts and change for Stroud or Bryce Young

2. Stay at 9 and take Richardson

3. Sign Carr to a deal of no more than $30 million per year with 90% of the guarantees accounted for in his 1st year.

4. Combination of 2 + 3 is fine as well

 

So what do I not want?

1. Trading 3 1sts for anyone

2. Trading up for Levis or Richardson

3. Not drafting any qb and having only Corral and someone like Darnold or Brissett

4. Giving Carr a big multiyear deal with guarantees that tie him to us for at least 3 years.

Anything that involves trading away picks is a risk not worth taking. We sign Carr, keep Darnold and Corrall. When 1 of the 4 top QBs slide to 9, see how bad somebody wants them. Gain more draft capital with the 9 pick. We now have a competent staff that could have this turned around really quick with a good draft in 2023. Draft a starting TE, an EDGE guy, a starting caliber LB and CB. I feel like Shaq is going to be a cap casualty, and I'm good with that. So a LB or 2 will be needed.

IIRC, the prediction for the 2021 draft was Lawrence at 1, Fields at 2 and potentially two other QBs going in the top-10. By the time the combine shook out and players had their pro days, things changed. All of the sudden, Wilson and Lance were the hot targets and Fields dropped off.

My point is, I seriously doubt these four QBs go in the first six picks. Free agency is going to weed out the teams in the top 10 who decide to sign a vet and have the cap space for it. There will be choices for the Panthers at 9, I have no doubt. I'd be happy to have one of those choices and maybe resign Darnold or sign Brissett until either Corral or the new draft pick step up.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
