Hot Take: This team will never get over the hump, until we move on from Bryce.

Teams, panthers especially, who annually draft a guy they think will save their franchise from the doldrums are rewarded a continuing fate. 

Winning franchises draft boring lineman, stop the run and get after the QB. They pass protect and coach up good QB to be great QBs. They stack good talent next to elite talent. 

This team is far from that point. Roll with Nice Young, build the team and the culture and see if he continues to grow. 

Burrow, Cam, Stafford,  Allen… unicorns. 99.9% of QBs don’t take that kind of beating and still win games.

Cam is the only QB in this draft worth a 1st, and we won’t be in range to get him. Use this draft to build the roster up, and if we’re in this same spot next year, grab your QB. The class next year is looking much better. 
 

Im not sold on Bryce either, but you give him next season. If the team is still in this spot after next season, you move on.

Prime Cam did more with less, so don't give me that no weapons crap.

When exactly was this? It definitely wasn't his first 2 seasons because that's the only time you can compare with Bryce right now, since he isn't a finished product. Just like Cam wasn't in year 2. I'm not comparing Bryce's physical abilities to Cam. That would be flat out ridiculous. But Cam came into a much much better situation to develop as a rookie.

Yep, if you're going to compare the physical talent then you've got to also compare the anticipation and touch that Bryce throws with.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
