Sir...

The Eagles didn't even win with the QB they went up to get. As a matter of fact, Wentz missed the entire playoffs. That team was stacked - especially their defense. 

The Rams went with a proven vet they knew could get them over the hump. That team was stacked - especially their defense.

The 49ers just went to the Super Bowl with Mr. Irrelevant. The very last player (not just QB) picked in the draft - as a rookie. That team was stacked - especially their defense. 

But the Panthers should give up a bunch of 1st and 2nd round picks to get a QB. Like no other positions matter.

The point is even if you trade a bunch of picks and miss you can still recover from it and succeed. Not that they traded up and took the right player.

Look at the records (at the time) of the teams who made those moves. 

2016:

The trade between Rams and Titans.

Tennessee gave up trade value of 3104.2 and received trade value of 3365!

From the research I’ve done in 2001:

The trade between Chargers and Falcons.

Chargers gave up trade value of 3000 and received trade value of 2376! (Chargers must have received something else to match what they gave up in trade value)

That's not enough reason to not swing this year. 

Fug this timid crap. If you're confident, you go for it.

Is it just me or is the truly bold move the signing of Lamar Jackson?  
 

The draft is the draft. There is a true young franchise QB accepting offers rn….

Have you not been paying attention to who makes up this coaching staff? These are guys who knows offense and knows QBs. If there's a coaching staff that you should trust with deciding on a QB, it's this one. 

Frank fuggin Reich

Jim Caldwell

Josh McCown

Just these guys alone should be enough to warrant confidence in this team's ability to choose a good QB. It is for me anyway. 

I think their judgement on making this move is better than any staff this team has ever had. Conversely, I think they also have the ability to rationalize regarding “how much is too much” if it comes to that.  
 

I'm pretty confident with whose in charge which is good as I have no say in the matter.

A franchise qb is never too expensive. A franchise qb will bring in millions of revenue, notoriety, keep you in contention for super bowls. Invest in the now! 

How do you know he is a franchise QB?  Nothing is guaranteed.  Trevor Lawrence was the perfect QB that has been good,  not great.  No Lawrence here.  Giving up 3 firsts is incredibly risky for any of these players

      Down in Atlanta....

      By hepcat · Posted

      I hate to praise Atlanta but what they did was not dumb. The only issue is where they drafted Penix. #8 overall was very high for a QB with Penix’s injury history. But it wasn’t a bad decision. I wish the Panthers took a broader approach to finding a franchise QB after Cam.  Cousins is old and recovering from a serious injury, so he is obviously a temporary placeholder. It makes sense they hedged their bet on Cousins, because Atlanta was burned by holding onto Matt Ryan too long while his skills degraded. If Cousins can still play, Penix gets to sit on the bench and learn which has proven to be a winning strategy for developing young QBs. If Cousins sucks or gets hurt again, they have a legit backup plan to see what they have in Penix.  Where are the Panthers if Bryce gets hurt or sucks again this season? The season is over and they’ll be considering drafting another QB next year.

      Same as when Jordan Gross said that having to block Julius Peppers made him a better player. But I mean no sh*t, having to block one of the best DE’s of all time will up your game. I bet Gross went up against other DE’s in games and was like, this is nothing. Horn isn’t that level of player obviously, but Legette has his work cut out for him going against Horn in practice. The coaches should be able to tell pretty quick what they have in Legette.
