If you were GM, how would you use our that first pick in round 2?

WR or OL. It’s absolutely not going to be a QB lol

we got Gamecock fans advocating for a dude that went 0-2 vs the ACC this year....and finished the season looking like a bad Bryce Young in the NFL.   All Spencer Rattler would do is sit behind Bryce Young.    We definitely don't need to waste the 33rd pick in the draft on that.  A good GM should be able to draft legit offensive skill talent there.

O-line.  Anyone saying qb, get it out of your head, young will start next year, after that maybe, but he's still what tepper views as the building block.  Receiver would also be good.  Also, everyone keeps saying the draft is deep at certain positions, but always remember, it requires actually HITTING on those picks.  We took cade mays and deonte brown late because OGs are supposed to be had late in drafts...well we whiffed and were still at square 1.  It only helps if we hit on the picks and I have no confidence in that.

Can't go another season w/ BY as the only viable option... if you don't want to hurt his ego/tiny brain by playing a vet in Ginger man and benching him, then you need to bring in a rookie to compete and possibly earn the QB1 position. Kinda like the opposite route of what we did w/ Clausen and Cam.

Weak class bro.  We wait and wait and wait and wait and when we decide we can't wait anymore, we  draft a guy in a bad draft class for that position out of desperation.  It's the Panther way.

Yep. La Porta went 2 picks before the Rams 2nd and 5 picks before Mingo. Kincaid was the top TE and he only went 9 before La Porta. Trading up should have been done for a TE this past draft instead of reaching on DJ Johnson.

We went Mingo in a not as good WR class because we traded away Moore. Fitterer has been just like Hurney 2.0. Don’t take BPA or draft deep positions to get better overall draft value. Instead, draft to weakness and reach for needs with trade ups to make sure you get the least draft value you can.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
