So ESPN thinks we'll trade DWill for a high first round pick

For a top 3 pick? I would seriously have to consider that if I were them. Stew has shown that he can carry the load for the whole game. I would hate to see him go, but I would love to see us get a young, stud QB. I know that its a crap shoot sometimes in the draft, but if we got Clausen I would jizz my pants.

I believe it will happen. As much as I love Williams and only buy his jerseys, from a football standpoint this makes sense. We need a franchise QB and the only way to get one is with a top 10 pick.

Stewart can carry the ball as a full time starter and I believe we already have a good backup RB. It's easier to just draft another RB in the late rounds to take the load off both of them if need be.

It's only a question of where this pick would come from. Detroit? Seattle?

Are they just running the Gantt article with comments? Or are they giving their individual own take? I would be SO irate if they traded him. He's my favorite player. The only way I wouldn't hate them with every inch of my being is if we got one of the top five draft QBs out of it, and even then I'd be iffy. J-Stew's injury history scares me too much.

I also think a lot has to so with whomever is running the show here. Fox wants a bruiser, but I could see another coach wanting to stick with a speedster.

I think he would actually injury himself further by playing anyway (well, he has played while injured already).

I think Fox likes the two back system anyhow.

I guess I better hold off on getting that Williams jersey...

It'll definitely be a sad day in Charlotte and the Carolinas if D-Will is traded. I like Stewart, but he hasnt been fully healthy since he's arrived here. I think Williams should be one of the untouchables. Stewart should be traded, but he wouldnt get us our 1st rd pick.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
