Ewers. If he sucks then draft Manning the year after. We need to draft a QB every year until we find one 

We really need a vet QB to come in and help with team culture and allow the new rookie to sit.

unfortunately, we don’t have the money for that.

I really like Sanders when he has the time, but vs. Nebraska, he looked like Bryce when things broke down. 

Ewers is my top QB right now, and it was his game against Michigan that sold me---Before?  He was my third choice.  He is smart, mentally tough, and a competitor with QB skills. 

I have not seen enough Beck to make an informed opinion, but Georgia has had some good college QBs go to the NFL and become average to below average.  Same with Bama, although they do have 3 starting QBs in the NFL (if you count Philly).

Which brings me to Milroe.  He will probably be a riser if he plays well.  First round ability.

The QB that makes me say, "Hmmmm" is Penn State's Allar.  He would be great in a pro style offense, and our WRs seem to fit that mold, as does the OL.  He has some basic mechanical issues, but Canales can fix that.  Watch his stock this year.

Bryce was also surrounded by elite talent. Look what he is without it.

That is a factor.  I would then look at his processing speed, leadership, mechanics, etc. 

Bama covered Bryce's deficiencies--like they did Tua and Hurts.  Does that mean they are not good QBs?  No, but it means that they are not elite as suggested by the college play.

You could say the same about Texas (they had a load of talent last season, but their impressive win vs. Michigan suggests that Ewers is the real deal.

Colorado (Sanders) could be a situation that reveals a good QB on a bad team.  However, during the Nebraska game, they showed Sanders' waist towel and it had a gold dollar sign on the towel.  Nah.  Not when your teammates are not getting endorsement deals.  Not when you are making nearly $5m in college which is more than several starting NFL QBs...Nope.  hard pass.  You won 4 games last season.  Your daddy brought in 42 players to fill gaps and needs. Nebraska embarrassed you.  Nope--hard pass.  And when the protection broke down, Sanders struggled.

I said last season Ewers would be the top QB in the 2025 class.  That could change.  I'm not sold on Sanders and Beck is surrounded by 5 star talent all around him.  Same with Milroe. 

The one guy who has quietly gotten better every year is Jaxson Dart out of Old Miss.  If he has another quality season, he could end up pushing Ewers for that top spot. 

There are a lot of solid BACK UP types in this coming QB class, but starters are THIN.  We will need to be no lower than pick #3 to get a starter.  Even then, not elite.

Once again, as I said before we drafted BY, we need to build the team before we take a chance on a 1st rd QB. We need to sign a solid veteran, and draft best player available. I think someone like Hunter should be who we target. If we have first pick, we can trade down and get him somewhere in top ten. WE NEED TALENT! AND LOTS OF IT!

Ask me after the cfb season is over. I will have to watch more cfb now to see of some of these qb's have a chance in hell of making it in the nfl. So far none of them to me has screamed an nfl qb. 

Elite starting NFL QBs? Correct, there are none in the 2025 draft.  I'm thinking about 2-3 mid-tier starters and several solid backup types.  We need a veteran QB just to get some W's.  Fug the playoffs. Heck, I'm so starved for merely watchable Panthers football that a season approaching a .500 record would make me giddy like a little school girl.

There's not a veteran out there that's going to help THIS TEAM win a game.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
