Indeed. It's very simple. If the draft plays out where the Panthers are up next and one of the top QB's are available Dan Morgan and Dave Canales cannot afford to say no thanks. It does not matter how Bryce Young plays over the next 3 games or what he did over the last few. The broader body of work is there for anyone to see.

You assume they will evaluate them as being franchise worthy QBs just because they’re top of their class.  They won’t draft one just to compete with Bryce. If they do draft in first round then Bryce will be traded.

I'm not assuming any of those things. What I am assuming is that Dan and Dave both have the basic awareness to know they cannot just stroll into next season at QB the same way they did this year if they value their jobs.

I guess time will tell if your assumption is right or will you declare them incompetent if they don’t see it your way

I don't either because I don't think he'll be there.

There are only two QBs worthy of a top 10 pick with the top two needy teams conveniently sitting at #1 and #2 in the draft order--Giants and Raiders.

It ain't happening. Those teams are tanking and we will probably squeeze out at least one more win.  We also hold the tie breaker over both of those two teams if somehow we end up with the same record.  The Giants have a fairly tough last 3 games.  The Raiders would have a couple of winnable ones, but I think they still tank it.

I mean, I don't remember too many people saying "Bryce is the answer," with their chest. He's still shaky, and in fact no one can say with surety that either Dave Canales, Dan Morgan or David Tepper are sold on Young. Hell, who here has said they're sold on him?

We need to bring in legit competition for him. The only question is how high that draft pick is going to be. Everything is on the table.

I still think there's a high likelihood Bryce is starting week 1 next year, even if his next few games have similar downs.  

But, this is the the type of draft where we absolutely should consider a low-risk pick at QB (after R1) to see how he stacks up.  He could be a pressure backup to Bryce instead of a vet.  And if Bryce implodes, you transition to that rookie, see if he's worth anything, and if not, onto a high drafted QB in 2026.

I would not use the word incompetent. If they make no significant effort to revamp the QB room I would consider it negligence. And it's their jobs on the line not ours.

I am really liking McCord on day 3.  How about you?  Rouke, Leonard and Howard would be okay late flier picks too.  Again, McCord is my favorite of the bunch though.

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      Bryce Young now leads the NFL in game-winning drives since his debut

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
