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.

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By panther252 · Posted

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
