Answers to the QB equation

Hypothetically, if Young shats the bed again, what are the options? Seems to me like we have zero options.  Dalton is washed up and after him, really no one is a NFL caliber QB. The QB room is empty and putting all our chips on Young may become a disaster.

I don't believe he can ever carry the team on his own. God forbid if OLine starters go down. A real concern going into 2025.

NFL teams already have positioned their rosters with QB depth.  The young talent already are occupying backups slots.  You can find bad rookies or old men this time of year. 

We already have a bad rookie and one old man.......they are cooked if Bryce reverts back.

For this year? Nothing.

Onto the 2026 draft if it plays out like this.

Roster is missing our Pickett, Trubisky, Fields, etc tier QB that should be backing Bryce Young up.  They don’t have it….because they don’t want to deal with what it can bring

I'm fine with it. I'm done with trying to be the best bad team we can be. If Bryce regresses and looks like trash again then let's get as high in the draft order as we can get and hope for a strong crop of QBs to pick from. I don't want some decent backup that might be able to get us an extra win or two that accomplished nothing but pushing us down the draft board.

When Sanders fell to the 5th round, the team should have picked him with 140. 

"We need a backup 2026 when Daltons contract ends."....

But the intention to let him compete with the new first round QB pick 2026 if BY failed. If BY show up, could have traded Sanders for a cheerleader or whatever. 5th round is nothing. 

 

 

- There are no known potential franchise qbs on other teams depthchartz waiting to get an opportunity. Roll the dice on draft picks. Should pick a QB each year until you get it right..

Your plan B is to let nature take its course, and fall into a top 3 pick.

That is the only path if BY fails.

We did this and then drafted young over stroud.

Yeah unfortunately we've made our bed for 2025. And it looks like not only are we going to waste yet another season we aren't going to get much if any development of the young offensive players out of it so all around it's just squandering. Which is the quintessential story of the Carolina Panthers.

I'm going to preface this by saying I really hope I'm wrong. The best thing for this team is that Bryce balls out and we look like an actual professional team.

 

But I really thought the end of last season could have been the turning point for Bryce, but he looked lost today in a meaningless preseason game more than he ever did in those games. I think it's going to be another slow start and I pray they don't try to extend a qb with this track record.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
