 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???

      XL about to turn the corner

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
