But Trubisky wasn't a system guy? I'm not disagreeing that these were opinions at the time, I just didn't and don't understand them.

In college only bad teams can have good qbs. In the NFL it's the opposite  🤔

We're not an attractive destination for a "younger vet".  Those guys typically want a chance to play, to show that they can be "the guy".  If you're on the outside looking in at the Panthers situation, it's not a place you want to go.

1.  They have a young, first round QB.  They clearly want to give that guy every opportunity to be "the guy".

2.  Young vets who come to Carolina inevitably fail.  Bridgewater and Darnold most recently.

3.  You've got a first year HC and staff who have not done their new jobs before.

We'll be lucky to have a guy like Dalton back, assuming he doesn't retire.

Well, I used to have a saying about the NBA draft process(in the 90's-eaely 2000's). At  year one everyone sees potential and they ignore the flaws. The longer you stick around they see more flaws than potential.

I'd rather have Jimmy Pickles than Mitch Trubisky. At least Pickles would guarantee the 1st overall. He's done it before. He could do it again. Trubisky would end up having 1 good game and fugging up the whole program. 

just staying at 9 would have gotten us that.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Good thought and I agree.  Nothing about this process compromises that premise. In fact, the process involves meeting more needs so you can do that.  If I can get an Edge on a rookie contract when my biggest need is LB, then I have enough $$ saved on the overall cap to get an elite rookie edge in the draft and sign a veteran LB in free agency. If I draft the LB first, my biggest need, then my savings against the cap (when looking at the 53-man roster) is minimal.  I have not saved enough $$ to sign the edge in free agency, so I have to try to draft the edge later, getting a lesser player.  Even if you draft an edge and the roster is full of them, you have trade capital because a lot of teams need a good edge.  This lends credence to the BPA theory if it is aligned with positions that are expensive on second contracts. In the cap era, you have to think it through-it is like a puzzle.   That is why I did not like it when Marty was drafting RBs (Willliams and Stewart) in the first round.  If you recall, that necessitated moving up for Otah, trading away next year's first rounder to do so.  That is the draft we really needed an edge, but since we did not have a first rounder, we took Everette Brown to fill that need.  Then it got worse.  We had 2 RBs on second contracts, Brown busted, that led to drafting Clausen, etc.  If you can get 2 starters for the price of one, that is what I would call smart--not overthinking, if I understand you.  I do agree, but that does not mean draft your trench players first.   It could mean draft an edge and use the cap savings to sign a trench player.

      The DLine needs to do its job too - currently I only trust Brown to do that.
