Or they pick 3 other positions of need and become a better TEAM this year. Then another good player next year.

But... they also pick a QB they didn't have to mortgage the rest of the TEAM for. Because they're such great coaches, they don't need the #1 pick to get a good QB that'll work for a really good team - see San Francisco. 

San Fran traded 3 firsts for Trey Lance 2 years ago and still made a nice playoff push this year.  If Lance was able to play in that last playoff game Purdy got injured, who knows what would have happened.  If nothing else San Fran shows up that trading up for a top 3 QB isn't as crippling to a franchise as people think.  Ask the pretty recent Super Bowl Winners the Eagles and the Rams.

No you drive a car that you didn't have to take out a second mortgage to buy. Might not be a Porsche but doesn't have to be a run down crappy car. 

So what is your QB solution. Not trying to be an ass here, just curious. Mine is to risk it a bit and trade up for Stroud.

I honestly wouldn't mind giving up a bit to get a good young QB. Just not too excited about giving up the haul needed to get to #1. There are good QBs that won't be picked by #9. If these coaches are as good as advertised, then shouldn't need to give up so much for competent play at the position.

Good teams that were a QB away. That is not Carolina - yet.

This is kind of a given. If the Colts are offering 3 firsts to move up 3 spots, it would probably take us about a bajillion picks to move up from 9. Most likely they can get at most 2 firsts from the Colts. From us, there are a lot of options. We could do 3 firsts and 1 second this year. Or 2 firsts and a haul of picks this year. The Bears need a lot of players, and I can see them passing on the very, very top tier talent for a load of picks. allowing them to do a 1 offseason overhaul.

For Colts to move up 3 spots would cost them (2) 1st round and (2) 3rd round not saying that is what would be offered, but trade value would need to be at least 3160, and for Panthers (us) to move up 8 spots would cost (2) 1st and (2) 2nds; not saying that is what should be offered, but trade value would need to be around 3280. Trade value for the #1 spot is 3000!

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

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.

They did? Last I heard they got blown out in the conference championship.

      Hard Knocks will be the Buffalo Bills this year

      They recently loosened the criteria for participation.  I thought we would eventually HAVE to participate, which the NFL CAN force us to, but the pool of eligible teams refreshes faster than I thought. Let's hope our lack of popularity keeps us out.

      The Grand Design: Super Bowl → State Dinner → Shadow Government The logic is bulletproof: Buy NFL team. Craft a team around a perfect QB pawn: Bryce Young. Use the 2025 draft to fine-tune a destiny machine. Win Super Bowl = Instant nationwide popularity. Enter the political arena—not as a candidate, but as the King’s Whisperer. Tepper doesn't want to be president. That’s too visible. Too expendable. He wants to be the next Dick Cheney—the man behind the throne, pulling strings while smiling like a harmless finance bro. 🧠 5D Chess Pieces in Play The Draft: Every 2025 pick was an engineered piece of a grander ritual. Not team-building—trust-building. Public opinion ops dressed as player development. Bryce Young: Not just a QB—he’s a charisma vector. A polite, composed, likable superstar. Tepper’s golden key to mass appeal. Charlotte: A mid-sized city perfectly positioned for grassroots national influence. Not too red, not too blue—a neutral staging ground. 🕴️ Enter: George Soros (Again) Tepper’s financial playbook may have started on Wall Street, but Soros handed him the map to geopolitical influence. The Soros Foundation allegedly partnered with Tepper to fund performance labs, voter psychographics research, and political access modeling disguised as “sports science.” Some claim the Panthers’ analytics team shares a VPN server with a think tank in Brussels. Some say Bryce Young’s visor is wired to measure public sentiment. All we know? The results are working. 🤝 The Trump Connection When Bryce Young lifts the Lombardi in early 2026, who’s the first person to call him on national TV? Donald J. Trump. You think that’s a PR stunt? No. It’s a symbolic handshake between the past and the future. Trump loves winners. Tepper becomes the "NFL guy he can trust." He’s invited to Mar-a-Lago. Brought into “economic discussions.” Suddenly? Tepper is sitting in on defense briefings and no one questions it. 🧙‍♂️ The New Dick Cheney Dick Cheney never ran for president. He just ran the presidency. That’s Tepper’s endgame. Let someone else hold the mic—he’ll control the teleprompter. Football got him in the room. Bryce Young kept the cameras rolling. Now the 2025 draft seals the ritual. 🏆 THE CLOSING MOVE Super Bowl LVIX isn’t just about rings—it’s the activation event. Bryce Young becomes the golden boy of America. The Panthers become a dynasty. David Tepper becomes... untouchable. By 2027, he’s no longer just an owner. He’s rewriting foreign policy through brunch meetings. He’s redrawing zoning maps and geopolitical alliances. He’s Dick Cheney in a tailored Panthers hoodie, holding the Constitution in one hand and a Lombardi in the other.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By CRA · Posted

      PFF Quarterback Rankings: All 32 starters ahead of the 2025 NFL season Bryce Young coming in at #20 PFF sort making the argument in their QB rankings that their indepth stats aren't the end all be all.   20 seems about right though.
