Yeah but then they draft Levis so it’s tough to understand where they are coming from…

😂

True. Feels like the exact same thing again. Oh look, here is a very intriguing physical talent available considerably later in the draft than most expected largely based off of mental/processing concerns.

who’s the thread about

Fairly certain he wouldn't give a sh-t about any of our opinions either (why should he?)

Levis could busy or he could turn out to be great, as could CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson and yes, Bryce Young.

Acting like we know the outcome for any of them right now is kinda Colin Cowherdish.

Also known as the drafting formula loads of people on here embraced pre-draft but that everybody is now down on since we went the opposite direction 😕

True, but it’s still odd they did a very similar thing a year ago. I think most agree these physically talented, raw QBs need time to develop. They could do this every year, but without time and commitment it’s going to fail. Hopefully they do right by Levis and develop him properly.

It's a bad strategy.

Doing it twice in a row certainly doesn't help.

Anthony Richardson fans.

Richardson was drafted #4 overall and I don't recall any talk of him struggling in interviews, etc. That seems like a huge reach.

The rationale for drafting Richardson was basically the same one for drafting Levis or for Willis last year, i.e. grab the raw guy with the physical talent and coach him up.

One difference: This year's version of that carried the additional tagline of "our coaching staff can handle it". Nobody was saying that last year.

Would've been interesting to see if it would've turned out the same way of he hadn't gotten drafted by the best team in the league at the time which was also one of the most stable, well ran organizations in the league. I mean, he got drafted into an absolute dream scenario.

 

True, very true.

I would have been OK with Richardson at #9. I think he has a better chance of developing than mental case Levis.

No it didn't.

Richardson had the most jaw dropping tape of any of the QBs.

And your lazy answer is just cowardice.  What’s the point of debate if you say that all four of those have an equal chance of being good. 

I have seen what I have seen from Levis. He has some ego and mental issues which will hinder his development. His tape at Kentucky doesn’t lie.

Wrong again, I never was high on Levis so you should name names or otherwise you’re just being a douche

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
