Looks like IF Luck does come out....

Everybody in the NFL will be asking to trade up to #1. I mean, you have the 49'ers and now the Broncos in the running to get Harbaugh and god knows how many more teams might be looking to Harbaugh for coach. You know Elway would love to have Luck (where he played football and has very high hopes of) play for Denver. Alot of teams are going to seriously try and offer anything than can to trade up into #1 spot. I just hope our GM and owner don't fall to any pressure and trade away the pick. Hopefully (if Luck comes out) we can turn a blind eye to everything ever team is offering us for #1 and draft the man.

I agree but the more I read about Luck the more I think it all seems to good to be true. Things like this don't happen to our franchise...I have a feeling that we will miss out on Luck one way or another. Also I feel that the coaching decision will also leave a lot of us wanting more. Someone like Grimm or Rivera or Fewell seem to be the main names. I really just don't see the best case scenario (Harbaugh and Luck) coming to fruition.

I hope I'm wrong and simply being pessimistic.

While I understand the sentiment behind this thread, I don't know (yet) if I can agree with it. Yes, the prognosticators think Luck will be the next Manning or Ryan. However, the Carolina Panthers are much more than a QB away from being good. If someone comes with the right deal to drop down a few spots and pick up 1, 2 or 3 extra picks, you have to consider it.

No, you don't. The Colts could have traded away for Manning and picked up seven extra picks and they would have still been shitty this whole decade. You just don't pass up a kid like this. You take him and build aroun him via draft and free agency. Worst case scenario we have another mediocre year his rookie season and we get more high draft picks and build up even more.

Maybe there's a reason I'm not a GM, but I wouldn't trade a Manning or Brady for the best DT, best WR and some oline depth. Maybe that makes me foolish but the NFL is driven by QB's, the rules are centered around QB's, and QB's are babied to last 15+ years in the league. You just can't lose that because someone throws some extra ones at you.

EXACTLY. The Panthers don't have many needs that would not be improved with a good QB. Lets see, we need 2 DTs, a CB, RG, and QB. Aside from depth on the OLINE, we need time to age more than we need more young players.

OUR QB has a 50 rating. A 50!! Try winning in the NFL with no QB and good DTs.

Since the free agent market for QBs requires that you overpay for other teams' rejects--you get the franchise QB. Heck, if we had finished behind Denver, I would have offered DW to move up.

Ryan Clady, The Golden Calf of Bristol, and Elvis Dumervil plus next years 1st rounder. Thats what I want if we gave them our first. Set the bar high to where its so one sided its ridiculous, then if they give to it then you take it and laugh.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
