I wouldnt have been so pissed if we didnt use 48 on clausen, I like Edwards and LaFell but we could have had alot better player with 48 but then again "it is what it is" I swear thats Fox's motto for the fans cuz the organization obviously doesnt give a poo how the fans precieve them

What the hell is wrong with this front office?

For years, the Panthers have needed someone to come in when Delhomme's done. It seems Moore can be that guy, and they seem to think so -- but then they take Clausen.

I know it's hard to argue with his value, and if he can turn out to be that franchise quarterback we've sought, then great. But Edwards? I wanted Edwards, but I wanted him much later.

Our offense is not creative enough to use Edwards in the way he deserves.

Matt Moore only has a one year contract... Since that is the case he's gone after this year,with Edwards to be the backup next year to Claussen, if he's ready.

Claussen will have to play himself out of the starter role this season.

Edwards wasn't drafted to be the backup QB to anyone. He was drafted b/c he makes plays w/ his feet. They will see if he can return and work into a slot WR.

unless he provides 89 like results I cant see how that's worth a 2nd round pick?

well, what 2nd round pick is going to provide 89 like results? Edwards if Carolina can figure out a way to get the ball in his hands.....is just about as good of a playmaker as there is in this years draft though. I don't like the pick, but I like it more than Clausen.

That may be plan (a) but if he has trouble adapting to a WR/KR role look for the Panthers turn to plan (B) and try him as a backup QB.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
    • Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball. 
    • And Dilfer won a SB, idc. Almost impossible to miss the playoffs when you have that good of a defense
