Perhaps Bryce Young is able to resurrect his career, but it seems Carolina is ready to move on from him. If that is the case, then the Panthers could return to the draft well and purchase another lottery ticket with Cam Ward.

Haven't had time to pay attention to college ball the last couple weeks but seems like all the mock drafts have Sanders, Hunter, and Ward in the top 5 and then kinda mixed bag after that. I like that Ward is a playmaker with a little Favre style in him, seems real comfortable leading the huddle. Very different vibe from the soft stuff we've dealt with the last couple years. I believe he would no doubt beat out BY in a camp battle for what it's worth

12, but there’s less QB hungry teams this year. 

Let's see,

Cleveland is possible.

Los Angeles(Rams) is possible.

Tennessee is probable.

New Orleans is possible.

New York(Jets) is possible.

Las Vegas is definite.

New York(Giants) is probable.

Miami is possible.

Pittsburgh is possible.

 

Four of these teams technically have a QB position established but could be in a position to pivot. So if you remove those, it's basically five possible spots. 

I think the difference is there are less "desperate" teams than last year. Really only Las Vegas fits that description.

I really don't care how any of these guys compare to Bryce. If that comparison has to be made at all, I have no interest in that player.

The question is if Ward is a long term franchise player.

I will say this, even if we did pick him in the top 5, I would rather still sign Dalton to an extension and let Ward sit for at least a season while we get the team better.

Yeah I wouldn't put Bryce as a measuring stick in actuality. That's more of me once again reflecting upon how stupid the trade up was lol. I agree with at the least a camp battle with Dalton if we took Ward, do at least the Brissett/Drake Maye kinda thing, Baker sat for a few games before injury forced him in his first year, that kinda thing makes sense. Making Bryce QB1 and letting him lead protection meetings by week 2 of his first training camp was fuging idiotic, it would be idiotic no matter how talented the rookie is.

I honestly have no problem with a rookie QB sitting all season behind a Dalton/Flacco/etc.

Especially on a bad team. You know who never gets talked about this season?

Maybe, maybe not. Daniels didn't look like a guy who was ready to start either but has done just fine. Stroud looked like a guy who could sit and improve but did just fine. It's hard to guess. 

I am all for having a decent other option and letting them compete. It's good for them and if they can't win the starting gig then they shouldn't be starting yet IMO.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By frankw · Posted

      Right but I'm not talking about other teams I'm talking about the Carolina Panthers who are heading into 8 consecutive years of losing seasons. We can argue about stats advanced metrics and expectations until we're blue in the face. Winning when the playoffs are on the line is a very key goal for any starting QB in the NFL. And not for nothing but let's keep it real here. We hung our hats on the Packers game in his rookie season after weeks of either poor or mediocre QB play. And now we're doing the same with his sophomore season albeit with a little larger sample size. But still picking and choosing what to judge just leads to an echo chamber on either side of the debate. We should all be able to meet at a consensus that competing passing the eye test and winning some games convincingly early in the season is realistically the goal for our #1 pick heading into year 3.

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Clowney released

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Y'all forgetting about Maz Mwansa.   He would be the fifth DE IF the cut Barno and DJ Johnson.  He would not cost us a roster spot--and that is the key. "Carolina’s pass rush is being reshaped under new outside linebackers coach AC Carter, and recent addition Patrick Jones II. While Mwansa won’t count against the active roster thanks to the IPP slot, his upside is significant. He’s been likened physically to Eagles pass rusher Nolan Smith Jr. and already shows flashes of edge-bending potential. Panthers Director of Player Personnel Cole Spencer summed it up: “Anytime you get a raw ball of clay like that, and the league affords a roster spot, it’s pretty cool.”
