Fitterer, Reich Combine pressers today


Mr. Scot

You know it's just dawned on me that I had dismissed something that Fitterer said in his interviews earlier about this draft. He said something about moving back if they could not move up for their guy. The more I think about it I'm beginning to think that moving back is plan B.

He also stated in another interview that this was going to be the draft that the make a splash or something of that nature.  He clarified by saying they were going to look at TE, WR and playmakers as he put it with qb being one them.

Given that trading up will empty the bank of what few picks they have this year and probably the first 2 rounds next year that seems a little hard to accomplish. 

He's mentioned several times about the possibility of taking a qb in the 2nd round and even today he added the possibility of getting one in the 3rd round.  So he's thought that through as a possibility and what he could do with the picks he acquires. He's mentioned Hooker more than a few times as a possibility which is worth noting.  But today he added Duggans name with Hookers for whatever reason.

Having completed all of that tinfoil hat analysis I say to you my Panthers brethren that this offseason is going to be a blast to watch unfold.

That Eason thing could be viewed as fortuitous. Maybe not. Need to look for stuff on their time together. Synchronicity?

I honestly cannot allow myself to care about Bryce Young’s skills at QB.  
How good he is or could be, immaterial. Endorsing a player of his size that high in the draft at that position, breaks every rule for me. Cut and dried. 

If this guy were 6’3”-6’4” even everyone would be justified all the way. 6’2”? Elevator going down..

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
