Call me crazy---you already do----but I think this draft's best NFL QB might not even be a first rounder.  I think Sanders goes before Cam, and if you consider that Hunter will be in the hunt, I think Cam Ward could be there with the third pick.  Based on remaining schedule, this is the best case scenerio for the Panthers, and it is reasonable:

Just curious. Are you suggesting they should have spent that money on defense instead of offense? Because the only defensive player that walked and was worth bringing back was Luvu. And they tried to get him back. He wanted to leave. Paying Burns $30M a year would have been the worst thing they could have done. Even worse than moving up to draft Bryce. That contract would have been crippling to the cap, and for a mediocre player. And I haven't done the math, but it seems there are just as many new players on defense as there are on offense. Injuries have been the biggest issue with that side of the ball.

Improving the worst unit on the team should have always been the priority. Plus a stout o line will attract offensive players like that vet QB everyone wants. Chuba is having a career year. And yes, even Bryce Young is showing some signs of improvement. Change doesn't always happen overnight. But those were the right moves.

I did want us to commit more resources to the offense but I think they swung too hard in one offseason. Now it's going to take another hard swing the other way to get the defense in even halfway decent shape. We're going to know fairly quickly if Morgan is the man to save this franchise.

I worry they are going to succumb to another high pick for whatever hole is left on offense. Like a #1 WR or maybe a QB. I supposed I could stand one but not two.

I think we win 2 more games. I think we pick around 5 or right after. 

I don’t know why but I can totally see Sanders playing for the Giants in New York and having a rivalry with Jayden Daniels. I think Hunter goes to Dallas or New England and Ward to Vegas.

I think it depends on the Jets HC next year for what they do- chances are Rodgers is done.

This team tends to go on a playoff tear once they have been eliminated.  Seems Rivera was known for it.  I don't see a game in our future where we will be the favorite--but they could be trap game spoilers.  I am not 100% sold on Ward, so I will be pulling for them to win--I just think a player like Nussmeier or Allar--different styles--could be the better NFL QB.  Then there are the players like Rourke at Indiana and Ohio State's Hamilton---he gets no love--and that short QB from Oregon has some fire.  Ewers at Texas could be good if he can stay healthy--I am basing this on the fact that each year, nobody seems to grab the right QB in the draft--it blows my mind how wrong these experts really are.  I would be delighted to get an Edge and then Allar--if he comes out.  I may be too high on these QBs but several have stepped up this year and made me wonder.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
