Should the Panthers pick a second QB?

This would also hold true for any qb we take later in this draft. We traded down for Corral; lets at least see what he can do before we dump him and use precious draft capital on someone equally as unproven.  

Corral was a clear Matt Rhule pick and it's unfortunate he didn't get a shot when he had a staff that wanted him. But the truth is Corral played in a super simple one read offense at Ole Miss and was the 4th QB selected in a historically bad QB class. I believe the reports that Frank Reich doesn't want him and they are willing to trade him for whatever value they can get. We might be a year away from a second QB to see how Bryce does but I don't think any of us would be excited if Dalton has to play any extended period of time this season. Which is why I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a second QB.

Not with Dalton and Corral here, even if we trade Corral it wouldn't make sense with Dalton as the backup.

Once Dalton leaves in a year or two, that's when you draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th round (especially since I'm in the camp that thinks Young will be injury prone, so yes, we do need a project QB on the roster in the near future to protect ourselves).

Before we draft another quarterback, draft another offensive lineman. Develop Corral, if nothing else he might make a career backup. Andy Dalton cannot play forever. 

Counterpoint:

OLinemen don't get traded for multiple draft picks every single offseason. Take a late round flyer to compete with Corral. Loser goes to the practice squad. If both look promising, trade one and sign an undrafted free agent to the scout team.

QB, Edge and WR are the most important positions in football; you should be drafting and developing those positions every single year.

If the goal is maximizing draft picks it seems more straight forward to not use them just for the hope maybe one day you can trade them for picks.

You need like 10  quality offensuve lineman. I believe you don't olan for the unlikely event you can trade a QB for picks in the future in a period you are lacking picks when most of your team is comprised of of lineman, receivers, and defensive backs.

    • Perfect example why Zod said they are getting rid of the Tinderbox. 😉 Segmenting which swallow has the best airspeed velocity is what divides us! Bravo Zod. 
    • I've been reading around on different websites about our team and OTAs and minicamps.  There are several members of this team that need to step up.  These are a few of mine.  Please feel free to add to the iist. 1. Bryce Young, Obviously the No. 1 person who needs to step up.  Bryce has been given everything a QB could ask for.  We have a top tier offensive line. Big WRs that can get open and make plays.  A decent running game.   Over tha past couple of years we have really put enough players in position to help him.  He has to be the guy to step up and utitlize his players. 2. Jaelan Phillips, Just because of the massive contract we gave him.  He has to be the leader of the pass rush.  He has to be in double digit sacks or the money isn't worth it.  He has to bring Scourton and the rest of the group to the top. 3. Ejiro Evero, Two years ago he had the statically worst defense in NFL history but was given a reprieve because we focused primarily on the offensive side of the ball for Young.  Last year we improved and we just didn't have enough to stop elite QBs.  This year he has been given just about everything a defensive coordinator could ask for.  IMO he has 4 cornerbacks that have impressed this offseason.  He received solid help for Brown with Hunter and Phillips. Our weakest area, LB Corp, we signed Lloyd to solidify that group.  With all the tools he has this season he needs to show why we kept him after 2024.  IMO he has no excuses this season.   Lastly, IMO is X. Legette. He has shown sporadic flashes but nothing to justify being a first round pick.  The WR room is stacked this season and any number of players from that group could make the 53 man roster. XL is going to have to show out this preseason.  At minimum, he performs well enough to possibly get a trade to a team needing a WR.  I think with T-Mac, Coker and Brazzell in the mix for the top three position we would be wise to utilize the remaining WR spots for players with a larger ceiling than XL.  Training Camp and Preseason will sort them out and IMO if XL doesn't flat out show out he's done in Carolina.  Feel free to add to this list.  And of course, your opinion. 
    • I'm all for it. Improved moderation sounds great. A number of thoughtful dudes and I believe 100% of the thoughtful women that used to post here have been gone for years.
