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 frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol

      Uh oh, Nicole Tepper hugged him. In all seriousness though every time I see more about him my hopes get higher. Smart, great attitude, prototype size and measurables, and athletic. He could be a great one.
