In a deep qb class should the panther take one day 3?

I don't think so. We just drafted the wrong guy.

That's so convenient and easy to say in hindsight. 

If I were GM, I wouldn't have traded up, especially when 2024 was touted as being deep. It costs way too much to trade up from the ninth position to the first, especially when hitting on a QB is anything but guaranteed.

Even if he is still super committed to Bryce the potential ROI on a late round QB that hits should be an easy sell to Tepper. Even if Bryce pans out if the late round QB shows promise you have a solid backup for minimal investment or you flip him for significantly more in trade value than what you spent to acquire him.

Yeah, that’s what I said… Rattler or Travis day three.

I agreed with the trade up. There was an opportunity there. There were three guys considered potential elite QB prospects. The #1 overall pick was available. We played much better down the stretch giving reasonable credence to the idea that with a legit QB and better coaching we were ready to make a leap. The opportunity to shoot our shot was there and we took it.

I here "it's a deep qb class" nearly every draft season.  The truth is that there is really only 1 that has a real chance of making it in the nfl each year, if that. Talent will only get you so far in this league. Coaching and system has a lot to do with player success.  The Panthers missed on all 3 last season.

Canales would work well developing Sam Hartman in a WCO system behind Bryce Young.

Yup, Hartman immediately jumped into my mind when I read the title.  Being that we are limited on picks and needing help everywhere, I really doubt a flyer pick will be considered.

I don't like our odds of drafting a QB who will make an impact on day 3. Not when there are so many needs we could more easily address with that pick. 

The 1st pick in 2025 is what's TBD. Bryce is either going to make us competitive next year or put us in the spot to draft his replacement.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
