We won 7 games and just missed the playoffs with 0 QB play last year and a coaching change. We are getting who we believe is the best QB in the draft. This is the most excited I have been since the 2016 season after the SB letdown. This should be the staff, and QB, that finally changes our losing ways and gets us back to back winning seasons and multiple playoff appearances.

I prefer results. The man who hired/retained all those dumbass blunders is still here calling the shots. We are literally hoping he has learned, at the expense of fans, what other successful owners (and even arm chair GMs) already knew.

He is not backing off, so it’s clear he does not think he’s the issue, yet he is the common denominator. San Fran learned to back off and shockingly, they have success. We have to bank on Tepper either realizing that or actually call shots correctly.

Jury still out for me. We are undefeated off season champions since 1995. I’ll get exited when this team (and ownership) actually looks like it belongs in the NFL, which hasn’t happens for over half a decade.

Really! Richardson(RIP) is gone and Tepper is here to stay and he also has seemed to of changed his tune on how to run this organization and letting the right people do the jobs they were brought in to do.

I'd forgotten about Byron Bell 

Haven't been this excited since Super Bowl 50 week 

Same. That game knocked all the wind out of my sails and I've been  struggling  to recover  ever since. 

I'm legit excited  again.

It’s a rare opportunity to be able to get the #1 overall pick in a year in which there is a consensus #1 QB who is also the #1 prospect among all positions on many big boards. It’s a really great and exciting time for the team.

It is rare, which is why it hasn't happened this year either.

Weird, I just looked at literally the first 8 results when google searching “2023 NFL Draft Big Board” and here they are in order:

PFF: Young #1 overall prospect

Tankathon: Young #1 QB, #2 overall prospect

NFL.com (Jeremiah): Young #1 overall prospect

Fox Sports: Young #1 overall prospect

Draft Network: Young #1 QB, #4 overall prospect

Walter Football: Young #1 QB, #2 overall prospect

Sporting News: Young #1 overall prospect

ESPN: Young #1 overall prospect

Why even post such a verifiably incorrect response. This is supposed to be a positive thread.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      I think Dillon can be what Eric Shelton was supposed to be.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      Yeah, no way he's an option at 19. We could honestly probably get him in the 3rd round.

      I mean, on some level I get it. They want to know 100% for sure before they either extend Bryce or move on. I imagine the logic behind it is that if they add another weapon and Bryce doesn't show he can be a franchise guy then we'll be in great position to draft another QB and slot him into an offense with 3 legit WRs, a good TE and a solid OL. I don't think it's as simple as the front office trying to "justify" an extension for Bryce. If they're not sold on Bryce then they know paying him big money is a recipe for disaster and at that point just trying to please Tepper isn't going to save their jobs in the long run if they're stuck with a QB we can't win with. I think Morgan and Canales are just as uncertain on Bryce as the fanbase is. They see his limitations, but they also see flashes where he has managed to overcome them and look like a potential franchise QB. I think they're trying to avoid Bryce becoming the next Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold and want to do everything they can to give him what he needs to succeed so that if/when the time comes to move on from him nobody can say "the Panthers were the problem" if he goes elsewhere and succeeds. And if we do end up having to bring in another QB in a year or two if nothing else they will have the pieces around them as well and can hit the ground running. I also think drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be as much about missing on XL as it would trying to justify extending Bryce. Personally I think we need to just count ourselves lucky to have landed a legit #2 WR as an UDFA in Coker (which helps negate the miss on XL in the 1st) and try to find a good slot receiver in free agency or the 2nd-4th rounds while focusing on defense and the OL in the 1st round.
