Grade the Panthers Day 1....

Sadly, Friday was the Panthers day 1 in the draft.

Here are my thoughts...

Clausen - Physical prototype for an NFL QB. Will have the strongest arm in camp by a mile. Biggest concern is his mentality. Everything I have heard from the guy in interviews tells me he will have a rough time being a leader in the huddle with older vets. Has much growing up to do. Physically could start right away, but maturity will hold this guy back..

Brandon LaFell - aka mini-moose. Projected by many as a second rounder, a good bargain in the 3rd. Would be very happy to see him start this season and showing Jarrett what he was supposed to do years ago. I do like this pick.

Armanti Edwards - When I learned we traded next year's second rounder to move up and pick this guy in the third round, I thought it was a joke. Then when I learned it was not, I stabbed myself in the scrotum with a dull spoon to help distract me from what a god awful move that was. It didn't help.

Zod's day 1 grade : D

Zod's day 1 outrage level : 8

I give a C+. There is NO reason they needed Edwards after drafting Clasuen. The fact that they traded for him makes it even worse. 2 receivers and another qb for competition would have been a lot better.

I am still dumbfounded on why they thought Edwards was going to go so soon...

I would have liked the Edwards pick in the 6th, possibly the late 5th. But in the 3rd PLUS giving away a second rounder (Everette Brown, Sherrod Martin, Ryan Kalil, Richard Marshall) for next year?

Is that a joke? The guy would have been there in the fourth.

He's possibly our returner, slot receiver and wildcat option QB.

Remember, Steve Smith was only suppose to be a kick returner too...

Yes I understand he has more roles than qb, but qb is his postiion. Why can't the panthers jsut draft another WR that specializes in...WR? The panther's can't handle a player like Bush, the play style of Fox just doesn't require anyone like this.

If Clausen went in the second half of the second round, its suffice to say Edwards would have been there in the 4th. I am with Zod on this, I like Edwards I think he has skills, but not really for this team especially for a 2nd rounder, but who knows maybe Fox has seem the light.

Do you thunk before you type?

So because he's a project we should avoid one of the most dynamic playmakers in the draft?

We can't handle Bush? What do you call Smith and DeAngelo?

This arguement is absurd.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
