I don’t think much can be made from these pressers regarding personnel. It’s all vague. 
 

Everyone wants a QB who facilitates to the playmakers but can make the play himself when he needs to. A QB who can stand strong in the pocket but can make plays with his feet. A strong arm with accuracy who can rifle it but knows when to throw with touch. 
 

Every QB is a “point guard”. But some QB’s are more Chris Paul and some are more Ja Morant. 

Exactly. "we want a good one who runs the offense and distributes the ball" is what everyone wants

Yes, I do believe you are reading too much into the statements. To me wanting a QB that is like a PG isn’t some clue or hint. Now if he had said “I want a QB that is similar to a bench warmer that when gets into the game, can only drive to the left and shoot with his right hand.” Now that would be a clue or hint!

Or Theisman.  Not quite Tarkenton but a reasonable knock-off…

They've all been knock offs ever since. He had everything, great arm, great speed and an overactive survival instinct. Tarkenton often said he never had a plan on the scrambles, he just wanted to see the next morning from something other than a hospital bed. 

If you straightened out all of his runs, he'd probably still hold the NFL rushing record for all players! And is still #14 on all time passing with 47,003 yards on the career. I believe four Super Bowl appearances, too. Dude is way underappreciated by the league.

So, you want a mobile QB who came out of Georgie, played for the SEC, won a national championship in college, was drafted by an NFC team, was given up on by the team that drafted him due to injury problems in his late 20s, frustrates his offensive coaches with his risk taking/decision making, is unorthodox in his play style/throwing style, has been good enough to be considered for MVP, went on to play for another NFL team that also gave up on him, has been a Pro Bowl QB, and was offensive RoY. You want this QB to come back to his first NFL team in his early 30s to play another 6 to 7 years while leading the Panthers to 4 SBs in his mid to late 30s?

I believe there is an available QB that fits the Fran Tarkenton model. I just think there are more fans that want to draft one of the top two first round QBs like Jerry Tagge and John Reaves instead of bringing back a QB in their 30s with experience who had injury problems.

You win this one!

I really think we should trade down in the first and the second acquiring capital for next year's draft unless Stroud somehow slips to 9. Down to the 20-25 range and grab Meyer at te. Then go bpa after that.  Have 2 firsts and 2 seconds next year.  Sign darnold to a cheap 2 year deal and let him and Corral compete this season.  Then next year if one of them isn't great we go all in on Maye or Caleb Williams.

Bryce is the definition of a point guard playing QB

But Reich wants a RPO guy and with Young’s size I don’t think you’d want him running in those situations 

I really hope McCown has some say in this because I think McCown likes Stroud more than the Panthers do. Stroud can run he just wasn’t asked to do so in college

I think we end up with Levis

Young/Stroud go top 4 and we are not moving into the top 3.  I am not high on Levis nor AR.  I hope all the QB needy teams ahead of us get nervous and start leapfrogging one another and by #9, all four are gone.  I's rather take a flyer pick on Hooker in the 2nd than Levis or AR.

I won’t be shocked one bit if Levis goes before Stroud or Young or even both

I know you added the tag, but you do realize there are people on here delusional enough to take you seriously, right? 😕

Cam will always hold a special place in my heart and I would welcome him back in a heartbeat as the vet in the room for Stroud or Corrall (or both)

But that ship has long sailed. His return was probably the highlight of the Rhule era.

Valid.

People have joked that we'll probably still see people pushing for us to bring him back and/or make him a starter ten years from now...but there are some to whom that's not a joke 😕

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
