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 Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
