Justin Fields traded for bag of chips, why couldn’t we get Gerber competition?

By the looks, he's cut and stays home for awhile......then a QB injury hits and he's called for a try-out only. 

I mean Im not a fan (just like fields, Howell, Pickett, etc) but he's got elite skills and I don't just say that. 2nd overall and just a awful big city fit. He's still young.

Plus if you look at the last 4 drafts and focus on QBs, my God it's a horror show!! Like 2 decent picks and 25 terrible ones....WHY would any team trade up with those odds...Just wait a year or two and send a late 6th and the 3rd overall pick in 2022 is yours.....lance, Pickett, fields, Wilson, etc etc etc. 

I think that's because of how overly simplified college offenses are now. 

You're essentially getting QBs that need an entire extra year of development even more so  over how they were done in the past. 

Could explain why we see mediocre QBs become serviceable backups by like year 5.

Just more evidence we are all in on Young and why I can never be excited about any moves we make as long as he is the QB.

May as well just not even have a backup QB since they refuse to even play them when the starter is out there stinking it up. 

Dalton could have won us a few games last year that were close that Young struggled in.

That would have been completely pointless

Trying to win is never pointless until you're out of the playoff run.

So now we pivot to not starting the first overall pick we traded for. The Huddle would have shititspants

There is no shame anymore in these debates.

It's not about not starting them. It's about pulling them when they're playing badly. 

If someone is making the right reads but can't hit the broad side of a barn then you put in the hot hand. Nothing wrong with trying to win the day and coaching afterwards. If it wrecks their confidence then they're weak in the first place.

Greg Hardy was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the sixth round (175th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft.

He was awesome til he’s legal crap sent him in a downward spiral!! Hope Fields lights it up for Steelers!! I think Caleb is over rated another Prescott!

And drafting them too. 

Drafting is at least a gamble that there is a chance to win.  It will always be a risk but trading for qbs who have had multiple seasons to show who they are in the nfl will pretty much never be a win.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46

      Young, been named Top Riser for 2025

      By Basbear · Posted

      Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.
