Glad we didn't fall for Lance. There was never a bigger risk in the top 10 of the draft at QB in my eyes. Didn't throw the ball in high school and only chucked it for one year in college and his college competition was super on the low end. 

I never got the whole love affair with him.  As you said, just too little to go on to conclude he was going to develop into an NFL QB, let alone do so in a year or two.  Who knows, maybe if he hadn't gotten hurt in their second game last year he would have shown something.  The other side of that coin is he might have played himself off the roster, too.

I didn't have a warm, fuzzy with Zach Wilson, either, but at least there was a body of work to evaluate.

WTF is going on in college football?

 

There is now talk of California/Stanford/SMU joining the ACC. Those long distance flights will be crazy lmao. College football just needs to get rid of conferences all together. There is no longer college rivalry games anymore with all this movement.

Conferences (in football, anyways) were a mistake and TV money is tearing the sport apart.  Notre Dame had the right idea all this time. Shame that we finally get an actual playoff system once the sport is all but dead. The Cal/Stanford/SMU move seems to be one vote away from going through at this time but there's no guarantee that vote'll come, though you'd think State would be swayable. Guess we'll see.

We were rumored to have liked those top 3 but not Fields.

we traded for Darnold after SF moved up to that spot to take the 3rd QB off the board

I still don’t think we would have taken Lance. Rhule wasn’t going to hitch his wagon to a raw rookie. I’m sorry, but I don’t remember any Lance (or even Wilson) interest that was founded in anything besides speculation like the next year when we were tied to every single QB. We had no QB so there were articles about every potential QB pick like Willis and Pickett as well. I do remember discussion about how we weren’t really interested in any of the QBs after Lawrence and making the Darnold trade pre-draft for 3 picks supports those rumors.

Also, SF was rumored to be interested in Darnold as well until they made the trade. We were also already rumored to be interested in Darnold very early as well.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree but we didn’t even give a chance for any QB to drop with the Darnold trade.

I would take a chance on Lance, look at Jordan Love, started out as a disaster, sat now for 4 years and he looks like he might be decent. Could see that with Lance.

So you want a guy that hasn't put it together in 4 seasons to replace a guy that has been here for 2 and looks better than the guy with 4 seasons of experience? 

I'm convinced most of you go on name recognition alone and never bother to actually see if that player fits or even wants to play here.  Fantasy football is ruining the sport of football.

I didn't say the Panthers, just un general. Like if you are the Bucs, you wouldn't chance that?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
