CBS Sports: Daniel Jones as a potential option for the Panthers to consider.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Call the Lions and try to trade for Hendon Hooker and then take T-Mac to give him a great weapon set with Hubbard, Brooks, T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Sanders.

He's only 3.5 years younger than Goff and he only has 2 years left on his contract.  Unless he doesn't even want a chance at a starting spot competition, he's not going to re-sign with them.  If they can get a draft pick for him and then go out and sign another vet to be their backup to Goff, I think they'd do it.

See if we can get him for a future mid round pick, like a 4th or 5th rounder a year or two from now and give him the full season as the starter to see if he has a future in the league and with us.

If he does, awesome, we just found our QB on the cheap.

If he doesn't, then we're likely going to be bad enough to have a Top 10 pick in a QB loaded draft in 2026.

I'd honestly give the triangle + WF the win, even 8/10 winners

 In fairness, the triangle plus wake team would have some excellent talent.  If you are talking current players, Drake May at qb, Kenneth Walker and Bradley Chubb at running back, Jessie Bates at safety, Ekwonu and Zach Tom at tackle, etc...

I've thought we could go after Hooker but I'm not sure they would trade him away. Having a QB with a. Couple of seasons on the bench learning is quite the useful thing to have. They would probably want a 2nd or 3rd based on what they spent. If we could get him for a 4th I'd jump on it and not even blink.

    • 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.
    • 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.
