RG3: Panthers are a "dream destination" for whichever QB goes #1

Yeah we really are a great situation for a 1st overall QB. We had 7 wins last year despite atrocious coaching and cleaned house and hired an extremely experienced and well respected staff. Not a perfect team outside of QB by any means (few holes on D and of course offensive receiving weapons) but nowhere near the absolute dumpster fire most teams picking top 2-3 are.

Honestly, for a #1 overall pick we really are. The OL is good. We have a former QB, offensive minded HC. We've signed a good veteran RB. We've signed a solid vet receiving TE. Yeah, the WRs need work but overall this is a MUCH better situation than a #1 overall pick typically walks into.

The NFCS and NFC in general are weaker as well. Meaning that this kid is going to get playoff experience and also SB experience (Hopefully winning experience).

He will definitely have a legit shot at the playoffs his rookie season. For comparison, Burrow and Lawrence both finished last in their division as rookies before winning their divisions their 2nd year.

    • It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.
    • I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt. 
    • That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
