I been trying to tell people for the longest this kid needs to be the target. 

His accuracy is next level above this QB class.  No age concerns.  Has the arm.  The size. 

His throws are just on point, just like in his games.  Knows exactly where he's placing them.  He's simply made to play QB.

My only question is what exactly does that mean? Do we identify a specific guy? Because that means going to #1  Do we identify say three guys that we'd be thrilled to have and that means moving up to at least #3? Are we just trying to decide if we're still in the market to try to trade for #1?

I don't know.

I took it, combined with what Fitt said, that were are planning to identify THE guy, not just one we'd be happy with if they fell to us, and so long as the interviews and workouts affirmed their belief, we would move up to where we needed to in order to get that guy.  Again, taking into account Fitt's "this is the year to do it," "if we identify the guy we want and trade up, we won't be picking that high again anyway," and "if you find a guy you like, you go up and get him" comments, it all jibes with what Leaky said here.

He also didn't exclude the idea that we still bring in a high-end vet.  The sense I got was that he was saying the vet move will kind of play off what we decide to do with the draft, first and foremost.

I've heard more than a couple players hint that the feeling on Cousins around the league is that he's a guy who cares more about taking care of his stat line than winning games.

He's very by-the-book from the games I've watched. I wouldn't go as far as to say he's like a Bridgewater though.

AR and CJ are struggling right now ... there anticpation is off. It is a very difficult NFL throw... but Tune def came out on top in that drill. 

Strouds pro day is gonna be crazy good throwing the ball. I don’t expect AR and his wr core of jags to help him in his pro day tho.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
