These are the next two NFL Stars. Absent something unexpected happening with the 2023 class, I don't see anyone but Stroud having the potential of these two.

This isn't going to be popular, but how about we don't trade away future 1st's for a guy like Will Levis who has "BUST POTENTIAL" written on his forehead and instead...trade downnnnn. Build the roster with the depth and breadth of talent available at skill positions and the offensive line, compile picks, and get enough to have a package ready to go for 2024. That is assuming others aren't already plotting to suck as well.

The Jaguars lucked into sucking bad enough to get Lawrence. The Colts planned to suck to get Luck. The Panthers probably started TEH JIMMEHH (those who don't get this obviously weren't around) to get to the top of the 2011 draft, thinking Luck would be there. Tons of examples of this happening where it completely changed the outlook of a franchise. 

Now FLAME ME.

That is unless you don't watch college football and haven't seen Caleb Williams or Drake Maye. They have transcendent potential.

No flaming here, you stole my playbook for the next two drafts though.  It's cool, I didn't trademark the idea. 😁

What happens when we win 7 games with Sam and are picking 11 next year and the top 2 in the draft need a QB and aren't trading out? 

You take the next best QB.  Next year won't have the cliff after QB3/4 like this year. It will be more evenly staggered, like actual mid-to-late round 1 QB prospects.

Next year is next year. Both of those guys could have career ending injuries, then what's the difference? Or maybe they just underperform, and aren't the sure thing they look like today.

You can't avoid making decisions today because you're worried about what tomorrow may bring.

Tanking the opening season with the coaching regime we have would be a really bad way to kick things off and leave moral corrupted to the point it may never corrupt. There are a lot of our coaches who already have their hat in the ring for a head coaching job next year, so even being just a bad idea in general, it would sit very poorly with literally everyone in the building.

You think Tampa is about to trade with us next year for one of Williams or Maye? I highly doubt that, so there’s one of those stars gone.

Next, with the all star staff wit supposedly have, and with the moves the FO is probably going to make this offseason, we’re likely to be picking in the teens. Going to be an even bigger ransom moving up next year for one of Maye or Williams. 
 

If you feel one of Young, Stroud, or Levis(O use these 3, because apparently the staff isn’t high on AR), then you go get them now.

If Reicht and crew do worse than Wilks did last year, you have to start questioning if the right hire(s) were made.

 

I also don’t think Penix(who more than likely will be QB3 next season if he continues on his previous year) is better than the big 3 this year.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By frankw · Posted

      Right and I think we can have a conversation about that. But even with the scheme he should still be able to muster more than 1.5 sacks right? I mean DJ Johnson played in Evero's scheme too but that didn't stop us from calling him a bust. Scourton didn't seem to have trouble flashing. There can be different things true at one time.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.
