It REALLY depends on free agency. How well can the team add kep components and weapons via free agency. There isn't a lot of money to work with, but they certainly can add with a few Shrewd moves. 

I really don't feel any QB in this draft is worth trading up to 3 or above for. 

If they want to compete this season, which I absolutely believe they want to, then they will aquire a competent veteran QB, and add talent through the draft. 

 

If one of the top 4 QBs is there at 9, I really won't be upset if they draft him. If they go the veteran QBBroute, then they absolutely have to add weapons and talent to both sides of the ball. 

 

I do trust in this staff.  So whatever they decide to do, I'm going to be cheering them on.

I wasn't crazy about the idea of signing Carr originally. But with the staff we have now, I've warmed to the idea of having Carr as a bridge. Draft the best guy available at #9 and let them develop behind Carr.

Carr has multiple suitors - there's no way he's going to agree to that.

Sorry the idea of playing with Brisett and Minshew and waiting another year for a QB is truly nauseating. 

You don't win a marathon in the first mile, this is going to take more than the 2023 season.  No, not the 7-year Rhule, but 2-3 years.

Unless Stroud or Young falls to #9 (not happening) I don't like drafting a QB this year.  Too many holes to trade draft capital away and AR/Levis are long term projects at best (likely busts).

Don't screw up our cap for a mid-tier, severely overpriced FA.

Again, the practical route isn't very sexy, but it's likely the correct one to get this team going in the right direction.

I think the whole accumulation of draft picks is overrated as proven that the New England model faltered once Tom Brady left.  Without a franchise QB, you have no chance at legitimately competing for a SuperBowl, you do everything you can to get that right, within reason.  

IF the staff have conviction of a QB in the draft, you do what it takes to get him.  If there's no conviction, then stay put.  

Once you have your QB, then you can go back to the norm and save your picks to build the roster.

I hope they stay put then.  I know the QB purgatory we've been in and I also understand moving up for a player you really like.  It seems, at for the fan base, the first is necessitating the later.  Let's just hope the the coaching staff doesn't feel that pressure.  If they TRULY, 100% are in love with one of the QBs, then go get him.  Moving up because the fans--even David Tepper, are being impatient is the wrong way to go.

      Greg beats Brady for Sportscasting Emmy

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      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.
