Yeah, I think Carr is young enough and you're going to have to commit enough to him contract wise that if you sign him you need to go all in on putting the best team around him that you can.

Carr is a 5-10 year guy. It just doesn't make sense to draft who you hope is a franchise guy this year and sign Carr.

If that's what he wants then the Panthers are out. They might, might consider 3 years with incentives baked in. If he's looking for more than that I doubt we are seriously interested.

Same.

I think the most popular route among those who do want Carr is to sign him but still take a QB at #9 (or higher)

yeah, but that isn't a likely position Carolina would take.  

You get Carr and you are committing to making this the Carr Panthers.  Therefore that #9 isn't a QB.   You are tryin to win with Carr, not build around a top QB prospect.   The resources would be used to aid Carr's team.

Big picture? I don't think it changes the big picture plans at all. It would just give them a little breathing room to get the rookie pick right.

I think it does.  You sign Carr, then you need to use those resources on aiding him.  Not drafting a QB.  Because while a low end version of it....he is a plug in and try to win QB.   

I don't get the Carr and draft a talented rookie QB narrative working together.  

Breathing room to get the rookie pick right? We have been waiting since Cam got hurt.   This franchise has had nothing but time and room.  There is no perfect storm you can keep waiting on.

The only way Carr comes here is if he knows and accepts that his replacement is incoming this season or the next. If he wants to be the guy for years then it's not happening here. You can bet on that.

I'm not sure that's true.

I am torn. I really want the QB of the future, but don't want to sell the farm (but would be willing to sell half the farm). Like Scott and some have said, I trust the current staff with whichever route they decide to go. Reich and some of these other coaches have a track record of getting the best out of the talent they have on hand, so maybe they make Carr look like a star, or at least a very capable QB.

I think he's much more of a 5 year guy than a 10 year guy but I agree that he's young enough that if you acquire him for what he's going to get on the open market you need to fully commit to him.

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
