From what I'm reading  here.. most of us think we are going to pick C J Stroud at QB ..  great .

But what if we don't ,,  what if the Panther brain trust picks,  Bryce Young, or Levis, or Richardson .. 

Will you have a melt down ??    We don't want a Trey Lance ..  

We all have been reading that Anthony Richardson has MOVED UP THE DRAFT BOARD,, MAYBE EVEN, NUMBER 1  OVERALL..  I was shaking my head, but what do I know versus our coaches and general manager ..   They make all the Cam comparisons , but they leave out how Cam senior year, he  was a winner in college.  Richardson at a major college, Florida , wasn't a winner there.

I still vote for C J Stroud

These same people said Willis could be the top Qb last year. I think it’s Stroud and Young.

We are going defense and will draft Will Anderson or Jalen Carter because we want to become a defensive powerhouse 😂

Then Reich gets on the stage and rips his face off, revealing he's really John Fox. Fox then says, "It was me all along Austin, you son of witch!"

Here are my ignorant thoughts:

I feel that AR's hype was "real" but only enough that teams felt they could hype him up as a smokescreen.  He helped his draft spot, but not all the way to the top.

Levis?  I don't have a great reason but I just don't think so. I mean, only a star would mayo their java but a it it takes a bust to eat banana peels.  So. I'll average it out and just say no.

Young sounds like the most ready to go and the best of the bunch, but his downside puts him too close to one play destroying the whole project.  With the investment made, I don't think they'll take that gamble.

My challenge with Stroud is that I'm a Georgia fan and that's really the only college ball I watch.  That means the only time I saw him was apparently his best showing ever.  Still, watching him there, I really thought Georgia was going to lose solely because of him.  I felt then and there that Stroud would make the transition to the NFL well and have a long career.  So I'm saying he's my best guess.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
