So I just read something that makes a ton of sense and pushes me more towards drafting Richardson than I was before (even though I love Young as a prospect and he's my current #1):

Drafting a bust at QB isn't as bad as drafting one that's mediocre. And it's so true. It's easier to move on from a guy who sucks than to be handcuffed to a Derrek Carr, Kirk Cousins, Ryan Tannehill, or Daniel Jones, who play well enough to be a starter and demand 30-40+ million on a contract, but aren't good enough to get you over the hump. 

Damned if reading that didn't make me want to swing for the fences. 

Your at number 1.... go for the homer or draft a guy who is like 10-15 best in the league like say dak would be a super let down at number 1. Richarson has never before seen traits. Young has the same but in a negative light as far as weight and size. As amazing as he is.. best ability is availability.

Stroud just seems safe like high floor... no super defining generational traits. jack of all trades master of none.. This whole qb debate is really interesting tho..glad I dont have to make it.

It is kind of wild how the top 4 guys all shook out.

Want the guy with the best tape? Young, but there's size concerns.

Want the safe pick? Stroud, but there's concern with how he performs when pressured.

Want that big time boom potential? Richardson, but he might bust.

Want the prototypical build? Levis, but there's some questionable decision-making.

All of them are flawed, so folks end up making their decision based on which of those traits they want the most and/or which of those flaws bother them the most.

This... its a conundrum... Like I said glad my job isnt on the line making the decision. Steve Smith said when talking about Richardson "nobody wants to be the guy who passed on amazon or telsa". It's kinda like that... a early investment that could turn out to be huge.

Matt Waldman has a good scouting breakdown on Richardson:

https://www.footballguys.com/article/2023-anthony-richardson-rsp-sample-scouting-report

Says his accuracy issues aren't as bad as people think. in fact he throws more downfield than anyone, and throws a consistent catchable ball. 

I am legitimately warming up to Richardson at 1.

Frank has also stated the completion percentage doesn't worry him.

Pete Carroll, especially, could get him and make us look STUPID no matter who we pick. That is very possible if we pass on him. Scary.

Hopefully if we did draft AR the completion percentage can be fix by our coaching staff and make him a dangerous QB and if that happens we just may be relevant again.

If they take him they will believe it is fixable.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
