Why do/did some of you think the Falcons were all in? Because of Vick? Because of the ATL demographics? Their FO thinks the same exact thing ours does. He's not worth the risk.

Because they have the most available cap space of a team that needs a quarterback.

If Baltimore matches a deal I'm not convinced that Lamar will accept it and go back to Baltimore.  No team wants a player that doesn't want to be there and you certainly don't want to pay this player a mega contract.  

He doesn't have a choice.

This is a very smart move by the Ravens. After 2 years of negotiations they can’t get on the same page. This gives Lamar a chance to see what his true market value is, and then the Ravens can agree or take the two picks.

Pretty disingenuous to blame Cam's playing style for his injuries when both of his shoulder injuries happened on pocket passing plays.

Either way, what we're ultimately talking about is akin to trading for Newton and guaranteeing his contract after his injuries occurred.

If we cannot get Stroud or CJ then I would be ok with a trade down and running with Corall... and Jimmy our way to a QB next year. 

That said.. I dont think anyone on that building would want that. We are getting a QB this year one way or another.

And that's the problem. "We are getting a QB one way or another" should not be the line of thinking. 

"Spare no expense" only works in Jurassic Park and MLB, and it doesn't always work well in either; ask Dr. Malcolm about his leg and the Yankees about all of their World Series championships the past 18 years or so. 

If there is a transcendent talent like a Trevor Lawrence, Drake Maye, Caleb Williams, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, etc. it's a no brainer. If it's not one of those "can't miss" guys, you are throwing darts at a dart board while blind folded but the stakes are almost as bad as if someone is standing on either side of the dart board, unable to move. You may hit them in the arm and they will be fine, but you missed. Or you may hit them in the eye and they will be screwed for life.

The only certain player in this draft, in my opinion, is CJ Stroud. Everyone else is a gamble. If you have to gamble with multiple first round picks, you don't do it. You just don't. You roll with what you have, stack talent and trade picks and develop the roster around the QB. Then in 2024 you go for guys like Maye and Williams.

Lol person shot that down huh…damn oh well, better not miss on a rookie Tepper/Fitt

Not sure what the advantage is to leaking this if you haven’t secured a top spot in the draft

At some point when you’re just bidding against yourself and already have offered up 400 picks to move up to 1 you might wanna be able to say “maybe we’ll check in with Lamar” before offering pick 401

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
