Once January 15th is over, all college players declare (including Luck in this scenario). We are officially on the clock.

Now we will ether:

1. Sign him before the draft.

2. Wait til day 1 of the draft to pick him (scares me)

3. Wait til day 1 of the draft to trade the pick away (really scares me).

If we wait til the day of the draft to secure our future franchise QB it will mean (to me anyway) that Hurney believes he can grab additional picks and still work with Clausen.

What scenario would you guys like to happen? Because I don't even want to debate waiting til day 1 and seeing all the trade offers, I want to secure the QB position ahead of time and call it a day. Start the party early. Who's with me?

Gets in a car wreck.

Trips and tears all ligaments in knee.

You wait until the night before the draft to enter into discussions with the no.1 overall pick. Too much can go wrong.

The Panther should and will have contract discussions and agreements with several players leading up to the draft. They may even have a deal done, as much as possible considering the CBA situation, but will not make the official pick until the draft begins.

Why?

Because many things can happen in a matter of seconds and to put yourself in a position where you have committed before you have to is foolish.

However, if Luck declares and he is their pick, the Panther need to know if he is willing to come to Carolina or if he pulls an Elway/Manning. And they can do that in private but they need to know one way or another.

Yes, you wait until draft day. That way, everyone is talking about you until the draft. The Panthers get mentioned in every draft article written. If they publicly announce anything, the #2 pick becomes the #1 pick and we become an afterthought.

The smart PR and media thing to do would be wait and keep everyone guessing. The more the Panthers are mentioned, the more shirts and hats are sold.

But if you identify Luck as the chosen one and there's a CBA you work behind the scenes to get a dollar figure lined up.

The Panthers know where Luck's contract number will be. You have to have him on the dotted line so he doesn't miss one second of training camp. None of this holdout BS and late to camp and a year wasted thank you.

There is no reason why he would miss any camp. Talking to his agent earlier would not help things as everything works toward that camp deadline for negotiations to heat up anyways.

It would help if the Panthers and Luck agree on a contract number.

We don't want a Jamarcuss Russell type holdout/contract negotiation.

Not comparing Luck to Russell, just what can happen when a number one overall and a team don't agree on a number.

      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.
