You guys need to stop acting like asking football-related questions on a football message board is "moronic." And, honestly, there's not a lot of poo for us to discuss anyway. Aren't some of you tired of beating the same ol' dead horses? I know that, as Panthers fans, we've been sucked into a vortex of general  dead horse narratives anyway, but giving canned, dead horse responses doesn't exactly add anything constructive to the atmosphere.

Who do you want at 8?

A difference maker every down, not a situational pass rusher.  The most Panther thing we can do is draft Brian Burns 2.0--anywhere from 0-2 splash plays of production a game.

In no particular order, I want (realistically may still available at #8): Warren, Tet or Graham (a 3 down D-lineman)

What’s your reasoning?

In a WAY trade back, then possibly.  I'm talking around pick #20.  We had better get a massive haul for moving back that far though.  Knowing us, it will be for like 3rd and a conditional 7th.

I mean, "massive haul?" That's subjective. If we picked up an extra 1 and a 2, that'd be pretty good.

To be fair, he did smoke the agility drills at the combine.

There's no questioning his athletic traits. There's nothing but questions about his actual football abilities though. His film is littered with plays where he gets around or through the blocker immediately just to run around (very fast) aimlessly all the whole having a clear path to the ball. His film screams "amazing athlete who just isn't a football player".

If he's a RAS warrior (minus the height), then you know Morgan's gibblets are all tingly.

      Coker has certainly earned it. Good for him.

      I don't think we don't call things aggressively, for a Canales offense, anyway. We don't have a QB who makes aggressive throws nor stresses defenses downfield. He is at a career low on 20+ attempts per game and his career 10-20 QB rating is abysmal.  That will always be a limiting factor IF you are looking for a high flying, downfield offense. I am not even that concerned about it, I just want to see effective offense and we decidedly do not possess that. A large chunk of that is Bryce. I think the second biggest chunk is Canales. All the other components(XL included) are fairly minor in comparison to those two things. I am an advocate of attempting to improve at QB. I am not focused on finding "The QB." We failed at that with Bryce. So let's just get better. If that's a one year vet or a draftee or a cheap trade or some combination of any/all, we should do that. We have to get that QB better. Bryce will fail in 2026 and we need to have REALISTIC options to take over when that happens. That ain't Andy Dalton or Hendon Hooker or Jack Plummer or Mike White or....you get the picture. Be serious about hedging that Bryce bet and not just having to make do if he struggles or gets injured.  My mind is definitely made up on Canales. It's year two and he hasn't improved much, nor do I think the bones of a good HC are there. Ron Rivera got to that point after two seasons and he was open about the changes he had to make and advice he got to make that leap in year 3. If we don't see the same after next year, how is he not just Brian Daboll?

      Not really buying it because T-mac faces stiffer competition week in and week out.
