Stopped clock did better lol. Calvin Johnson I guess you mean. Yeah boy, he was an all timer. 

I think Millen went 3 straight years with their top pick being WRs. Overall he was terrible. I looked up Johnson's tenure and drsaft spot (#2 overall right behind Jamarcus Russell lol), and his second year they were 0-16 and Millen was gone.

Millen was a really good player as I remember it. 

I just don't want to be here a year from now looking at a sorry ass neglected defense again. You don't feed it for 3 years this is what you get. We gave up 30 and thought the defense looked better lol. 

But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions.

Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense.

Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one.

If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
