Doubling down on Young. I don't like it. We NEED Young insurance.

They were investments in terms of draft picks for sure

They were train wrecks waiting to happen, and they did. 

Personally, I thought that the Darnold deal was awful. I also wasn't too keen on trading draft capital to get to one (and said so). Tepper talked about spending resources willy-nilly---like there was going to be a paradigm shift in regards to the way we handled dealing away draft picks once he fired Rhule. Then, what does he do? He goes out and not only spends draft capital, but throws in our most talented receiver to boot.

This is a fantastic draft to snag a high potential 2nd or 3rd round pick QB but our draft capital is lower and our needs are insanely high.

I doubt you see any investment in the QB. They are pot committed on Bryce. We will wait until we have to make a huge trade up again and in a far weaker draft.

Look, I know that you're probably right about an investment in a QB (hence the title), but I still don't like it.

Bryce out there throwing off his back foot and trying to escape the pocket like Cam without the power and athleticism. He's throwing what amounts to wounded ducks and getting downed by finger tackles. And I used to criticize Cam for his decision-making...Boy I was jumping out the frying pan into the fire and just didn't know it.

While I don't nesscesarily like hiring a coach to focus mostly on one posistion,  qb is clearly what makes the most difference on a team.   I dont see it as doubling down on Young though.   I see it as doubling down on the qb position while giving Young every chance to improve and succeed.   If he doesnt at all this year then he will replaced with the early draft pick and we will still hacw a "qb whisperer" in position to coach new qb as well an also offer input on what skillset he wants in a qb.

 

Tldr its doubling down on the qb position but not nesscesarily Bryce.   Hes going to get first opportunity though.

There are some guys down the board that are gaining traction from the draft analyst types. Michael Pratt out of Tulane is one of them.  Depending on how the offseason goes, if hes BPA in the 4th/5th I think it's a wise investment.  IF anything you have a backup when Dalton moves on after the season.  He has enough tools to push someone during camp.

You draft the BPA.

No team ever drafts pure BRA. They always consider their needs. Unfortunately for the fanbase, and despite what a lot of the fanbase thinks, the Panthers need upgrades everywhere and not just another QB. They also have limited draft capital to get these upgrades through the draft. Charlotte has never been a big free agent destination either, and is probably even less of one now, so they've got that working against them too.

Young will get this coming season to show if he can develop and be the guy or not. Same goes for Mingo. Odds are that Ickey gets another season at LT. Hopefully the Oline scheme will play more to his(and the other Olinemen's strengths) or they at least give Ickey some help, which he has needed his entire career so far.

But back to Young. The team has invested a lot into him and will give him every opportunity to succeed. Hopefully, Canales is a QB whisperer and can get the most out of him. That's the quickest way for the team to find success and start winning. People need to accept that Young gets at least this coming season and get over it. The other two options are to keep hate watching and whining about him or simply not watch.

If I gambled, my money would be on the whining and hate watching, especially the whining.

I can appreciate that...I really can...but if Nix is the BPA on day two or three, or Rattler is the BPA on day three, if it were up to me we'd really be doubling down on the QB position.

We will probably have the #1 pick in 2025. Try to build an offense and get the top qb then

Shedeur Sanders is looking to be the "top pick" so far in that draft.  Which is totally premature because its gonna be a 2 man race between Carson Beck and Drew Allar/Quin Ewers

I agree 100%. Throw in some mid vet or draft pick that wins a few meaningless games at the end causing us to miss the next QB in the draft and see how the fans react. 

But y'all are just assuming that a high pick in 2025 is going to get it done, while skipping an ultimately more talented guy in 2024. Don't be surprised if it isn't 2026 or 27 until we draft someone that's worth a damn, and that's if we aren't in QB purgatory and likely have to spend draft capital and important players to move up again.

Is Dalton not coming back?

For a season. And even assuming, beyond his contract, that he will be back is a bit of a stretch to me.  He could find legitimate work elsewhere beyond holding a clipboard while they force the issue with BY.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
