 Since 2010, we have had all our first round picks.  It was primarily the QB pick that propelled this team to success--Cam. Since Cam was banged up and pretty much done (2018 or so) we have had five first round picks, and they were good selections:  Moore, Burns, Brown, Horn, and Ekwonu.  SOLID. 3 were top 10 picks.

During the last 5 years, the Panthers have gone 29-53.  Those solid, top 10 draft picks were of no use without a QB.

Even if it costs us three first rounders, go get the damn QB if you like him, and I think Stroud will be special.

I realize there is risk and three firsts is a lot--that is why I was not cheering for Wilks in his excellent run at the end of the season.  Meaningless wins vs. first round draft picks--hmmm. Which would I rather have???

Yeah I can't grasp the people who don't want a QB in the first or even trading up.  If our staff is as good as advertised we would be losing 2 mid to late first rounders for the chance to have a new franchise QB.  I think we are so accustomed to having a top 10 pick we think those first rounders could be CMC, Horn, Brown, or even another Luke but honestly it's more like another Shaq, Benjamin etc...  Burns was a solid pick in the middle of the draft though, but the money we save having a QB on the rookie scale can be used to sign a pass rusher.

Agreed. I don't advocate for giving up this kind of haul, but we won't be in this situation sitting in the top-10 for awhile. We've hit the reset button on 90% of the coaching staff, philosophy, style and scheme. Why not push our chips forward, go all-in and get Stroud/Young. 

Couldn't blame a new coaching staff that has no QB for doing this. 

We would have to give up more assets next year to move into the Williams/Maye/Penix conversation next year.

Rip off the band-aid this year.

Like I said, I trust this staff.  My concern is whether any of these guys are really worth the price.  If Young were taller he would be a no brainer.

Would like to see his eval of Hooker. We have some smart coaches so I trust them.  I would not be upset if they stay at 9 or even trade down and then get Hooker. Although this place will go nuts...might be fun to watch. 😎

You are a wise woman…

Our staff seems to be dialed in on this class and look to be playing the draft route. I guess we will find out in these next few months.

I think if you have to use height against a QB, you can't find any other flaws with him. 

Height is one of the least relevant factors.

They called Young a point guard on a football field 

Hmmm...

https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/gm-report/thomas-brown-describes-offensive-identity-what-he-wants-in-a-qb-more

What kind of quarterback he wants

"A really good one. There's all different kind of guys that come in all shapes and sizes. But to me, it's an ongoing conversation we've had over the last couple days. It's about who fits into this system, being selfless from a mentality standpoint, but also having a point guard mentality. Being able to distribute the ball to your playmakers. And on third down, red zone, two-minute, go play Superman."

One of my favorite criticisms is "Stroud throws to open WRs."  Umm that's what he is suppose to do???

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!
