And that's the thing.

We keep getting reporters saying it's this guy or it's that guy when the reality Is that decision just has not been made yet.

They're ultimately just making educated guesses.

(some more educated than others)

Sure but the longer this goes on where we are getting similar comments that basically say it’s Bryce and it’s up to others to change their mind, the others have less and less chances to actually change their mind.

Does anyone know when the individual visits for the QBs are here? Once we get through them I imagine we’ll start hearing one name a lot more than the others.

Offers for #1 kicked into overdrive after the combine, you also had Derek Carr being considered at that time. Panthers said the trade was about controlling their destiny. They couldn't afford to wait.

I think it's more likely that they went into it liking Young and the combine added others to the conversation.

 

 

 

Possible, sure.  I don't think we were ever considering Carr at his market value though--Fitterer's stance about not going for LJ because QBs on market are expensive translates to pretty much any free agent

They're all upcoming. We likely won't get a date until closer to the actual day of the visits.

Feel bad for Chris 

He has really been through it the past few years 

That treatment for stage 4 throat cancer in January sure has taken a toll on him 

 

it is rough to watch him. i feel really bad for him but i'm glad he's still pushing and doing his thing.

He is my number 1, so color me excited. At the same time I won't be mad if the pivot to stroud. To me it's a win, win. I think as we have gotten closer to the draft the narrative has slowly switched to Bryce. Where ther is smoke there fire. 

 

Again it's a win/win, I'll be ordering the jersey no matter who it is.

Creation of the NFL Network definitely hurt the ESPN Insiders.

These days, the league is always going to give the best info to their in-house guys.

Same. Hate to see it.

He and John Clayton used to be the kings of insider info.

I know im not as old as you but man those two were pretty much staples of my Middle and High School years where I would turn it on and watch while doing my homework after football practice. 

Still a bit surreal.

He single handily lost the bull series with the best hornet team ever.  

Losing in the playoffs sucks.  But, like football, basketball is team sport. 

Hawkins missed the winning shot.  Jordan fouled him, no call.  Now with the scandal and investigations of what has happened in the NBA, its no surprise.

Yep, this happens every draft without a clear number 1. Once April rolls around it becomes obvious who the pick is. Congrats to the Bryce guys

Didn't happen last year until very late. Everyone thought Hutchinson would be the pick right up until the draft.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
