See that’s the thing. Young is a complete QB prospect with one glaring flaw….size. 
 

Should we pass up the best QB because he “might get hurt”? He also might not ever miss serious time. 
 

I guess my point is, the only consistent issue with him is size. He’s the best QB if he was bigger. 
 

It’s a pickle. 

There is no better ability in sports than availability.  It doesn't matter how good you are, if you aren't healthy enough to play, your skill means nothing.

If we're talking about any position other than QB, then yea, maybe you take the chance on the "better player" as opposed to the one who has a lesser chance of getting hurt.  But Young's lack of bulk is a significant factor that can't be ignored, particularly after giving up everything we had to give up to get here.

If we just had the #1 pick from the start and could take Young without giving up future assets, then it's a little different, but we gave up far too much to take the risk on someone of his size.

I'm confused on how this helps the Panthers. Yes we get the #1 pick,  we will draft a new QB. But who is the QB going to throw too? McCaffrey is gone and traded Williams, oline is ok. Only good players left is RB Foreman and WR Marshall. Looks like the Jets/Zach Wilson scenario. I'm confused on how this helps the Panthers. Yes they get #1 pick, presumably they will draft a new QB.

I don’t understand your arguments at all. What has ANY of those players done to take us to the playoffs? Nothing. Do you not understand how FA works? The other draft picks? 

For the millionth time - we go NOWHERE without a franchise QB. About time we were aggressive about it.

If we had any common sense we would draft all defense , I don't see how anyone can think QB is our biggest need after the events in Tampa we do not speak of anymore , David Tepper doesn't own the Carolina Panthers, Mike Evans does 

Even in a QB driven league, we are not winning anything without defensive depth

it just seems that the only reason to go to 1 is for stroud. Levi’s will be there at 3. If they think Stroud is dat dude, then gitter dunn and lets fuggin go.

if they take Levi’s at 1, then i expect it’s because the trade packages for 1 and 3 were similar, or even that Chicago wanted less.

moving back to 2 and taking Levi’s there, while picking back up next years 1 would be a 4D chess move.

D and WR can be picked up in free agency. Franchise QBs can’t. You need to draft one and hold onto it like your favorite stuffed animal when you were 2.

Trading up for Tim Couch/Ryan Leaf is never a 4D chess move. Levis was a reach at 9. At top-3, it's downright velcro shoes.

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      I wouldn't be opposed to trading for Sanders and seeing if he could be developed here. We have zero plans, and I really don't think it would take Sanders long to produce more than Bryce has. Plus, he's on a 5th round rookie contract and if he became the guy, you instantly have three years to build a core of talent, much of which we already have.  I get flamed for this opinion but it is what it is, and I've been right about these type of things the past three years.  I said Nix would be a good NFL QB. Wanted to keep Darnold and trade down in 2023. Said QB play wasn't the QB's fault under Rhule, but rather the offensive design.  Give me Sanders in the room for a year with Bryce and Dalton, see what he can develop in to on the cheap. There are no really quality QB's coming out this year that aren't Allar or Manning, and Manning may not even be coming out.

      basically if the panthers trade Thielen they're not trying to win this year. I mean they're not going to regardless but this means its the plan not to.  no team is going into the season in 2025 with 80 career catches between their top 3 healthy WR.  you'd be turning this from a bottom 3rd of the league offense to like the nathan peterman bills pair that with a defense that is most likely going to struggle, and they're looking at 2001 again.
