Fields is a FA next year.

I don't foresee Justin Fields ever being an elite QB so I wasn't disappointed when we passed on him in the draft.  That said, if Carolina took a swing at him to legitimately compete with Bryce (or replace him) in 2025 while the team spent the draft and FA to rebuild the defense, then I could at least understand the reasoning. If Fields were signed for 3 years at a reasonable price, you could look for a QB in 2026 and groom him to take over by 2027. I also believe Canales would be arguably the best QB coach Fields has had in the NFL if he ended up in Carolina.

Ideally, with us having a top 10 pick in 2025 and a 2nd round pick on day 2, a solid QB prospect would fall to us without having to trade away everything like we did to get BY.

Since Fields will be a free agent next year, do you think it would be in the Panthers best interest to try signing him?

No. They need to draft someone for the future. Fields is a backup at best. Unless you plan to run the Wildcat all next year I would pass.

A lot of time between now and the draft

…time to evaluate Young and new QBs

we all know the options available for the franchise

i do not believe  the Panthers brain trust , such as it is,  believes  in Young. They believe his floor is his ceiling in the NFL   

if that is true, then Fields becomes the youngest and probably best of the free agents and drafting a gb in the first rd is probable  and the rest of the draft probably all defense …young qb can sit and learn 

of course, too, in a league desperate for qbs, the Panthers won’t be the only one vying for Fields

It depends on what you would want out of Fields at qb. I kind of feel the book has been written on him, and he is what he is. On the plus side, he can run around and make things happen, but on the minus, those things he makes happen aren't always great. He's more capable of winning than Bust Young, but not a long term solution. If we go the vet bridge route, all of them will have warts.

      2025 College Football Thread

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      UNC's football relevance has always basically been, "Hey, remember how great our basketball program is?" To extent that has worked but they have never been able to capitalize on that towards being a legit ACC power. The closest was Mack Brown 1.0 and that was stopped by prime Bowden FSU. TBH, they should have utilized all these resources they just poured into Belichick into, IDK, a legit college football coach? This is one of the more insane uses of that kind of money I have seen in CFB, which is no stranger to insane, irresponsible uses of money. The SEC and Big Ten have already shot themselves in the foot. The model they are operating on only works if TV revenues continue to go up. Well, demographics aren't working in their favor. Economics either, TBH. The NIL didn't change very much, if you notice. The haves still have and the have nots don't. The only difference between pre-NIL and NIL was the money being below the table and above it. College athletics has never at any point been about fairness. It's the most dramatically unequal system in all US atheltics. My only hope is that the collapse is swift, dramatic and most importantly SOON. I would like to see the rebuilding of this all to something closer to what it was 40-50 years ago. Regional and not such money grubbing nonsense.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      By Waldo · Posted

      Meh Dalton looks washed. He was good for at least 1 entertaining game a year but Im not sure he even has one of those left at this point. His game style and old age hasn't been a good combo IMO.  Not going to compare him to Hooker because Hooker is another longshot to ever be worth a #2 spot. At least he isn't Plummer I guess. Young better stay healthy or they could go backwards in wins with those 2 options this year.
