This is just categorically false.  No team is set back 4-5 years by missing on a pick.  You only do that if you trade up to get it.

Literal nonsense

Bears with Fields (no, our ineptitude bailing the Bears out doesn't make it one that worked out)

Patriots with Mac Jones

Steelers with Pickett

Giants with Daniel Jones

Jets with Darnold

Washington with Dwayne Haskins

Bucs with Jameis

Titans with Mariota

If you miss on a Top 10-15 QB, it screws your franchise for years trying to replace them unless you get super lucky before that 4-5 year mark, like the Bears with us or the Jets with Rodgers.  Those other teams have all been trying to solve their QB situation since those picks, and only Washington and the Bears seem to have found long term solutions since then, maybe.

Lol fug this league dude. Stop supporting them. The NFL's boys club forcing Tepper onto us after fuging us out of the Super Bowl is the reason we're in this mess in the first place. Stop giving them your attention and definitely don't watch games through official means if you can help it. I'm just out on the league if a day ever comes where I finally renounce my Panthers fandom. Supporting another team is wack IMO. 

Completely agree. Piss on the concept of "second favorites" and "backup teams". The NFL doesn't deserve that option.

None of those teams are good examples.  They weren’t set back by those picks alone.

what?!?!?

None of those teams have franchise QBs and the only one of them to be contenders since those picks were the Bucs, who are that "lucky" example for falling ass backwards into Brady.

I just listed off all the teams who missed on top of the draft QBs, none have been good since then except the Brady lead Bucs, but sure, just dismiss that because they had other problems.

If they hit on the QB, odds are their other problems don't cause them to suck like they have been.

The problem is franchises don’t give up on high picks as soon as they should.  We had no issue walking away from Matt Corral quickly.  But because of the capital invested in Bryce we have to suffer far longer than we should.

We could have replaced Bryce last draft if we didn’t trade up to get him.  You’re wrong.  I’m done arguing with a wall.

Yes and no

If we didn't trade for Bryce, we don't end up with the #1 pick and able to take Caleb.  With a serviceable QB last year, we probably end up in the 8-10 range of the draft

Trading up screws you even more, but missing on a Top 10-15 QB sets you back years no matter what (well, unless you're like the 49ers who missed because of a trade up when you already had an elite team put together of course).

And if you're saying if we ended up with the #1 pick originally and took Bryce, then yea, we could have replaced him with Caleb.  Which would be a VERY rare circumstance to where that miss was SOOOOO bad, that it immediately set you up to replace him.

There's a reason I left Sam Rosen off that list, like I said, it sets you back unless you luck into a good situation like they did with Kyler that next year.  I'd rather do things the right way instead of hoping we luck into a better situation.

Caleb Williams played like Bryce young today and his team still won . Yeah Bryce is ass but we have a culture problem and it’s not because of Bryce lol 

Team goes as the QB goes it's always been this way.

We literally drafted this kid because of his leadership. People even cited his father being a psychologist.

Dude is literally the lowest energy starting QB I've seen in a long time. We were sold a false bill of goods. Just admit defeat and move on. From there our culture might get better if we get a QB who at least wants to get better and not hide out for a month and watch Netflix or go shopping for clothes after one of the worst statistical seasons for a rookie QB in decades.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
