We do have a QB. Furthermore, Ray Lewis won with Trent Dilfer. Lawrence Taylor won with Phil Simms and Jeff Hostetler. Peppers almost won with Jake Delhomme. It doesn't take an elite QB to win a Super Bowl, it takes an elite team, or at least a good one catching lightning in a bottle.

Psst…Nick Foles *drops mic*

Yeah, let's wait and pay the franchise tag next year of around 27 million and paint ourselves into a corner with no leverage if we wanted to extend him that 2nd year.  I like signing him now for 22 per year for 2 years.  That cheaper and smarter all the way around.  

 

the dude will be 32 next year and is currently being load managed, what fuging leverage does he have?  You are banking on him having some all pro type season and that is frankly not in his dna.  He is a good RT.  Period end of story.  So far for the excuses for this we have:  1. He deserves this  2. This frees up space to sign or trade for God knows who 3. We are getting a deal because he is going to ball out this year and hold us over the barrel

 

Goddamn people just Goddamn

I'm not yet convinced we have our Jalen Hurts.

We can get him. 

All I'm saying is that you have to at least look into acquiring Parsons if he were to seriously become available. Two firsts is just the cost of doing business.

We may or may not have a QB. Right now, Bryce has put a lot of bad play and some middling play on film. 

You're talking about a different era of football before they changed the rules of the passing game. The top 16 highest paid players are QBs. Literally half of the league's starting QBs. A good chunk of the rest are probably on rookie contract. It's the only argument I need in terms of how the league views the position.  Money talks and bullshit walks and teams are telling you what is most important with their money.

Sure. You look into it. Then you find out they want two 1sts and more and he wants to be the highest paid defender in league history. Then you...

Like I mentioned, pass rushers are pretty coveted as well. Parsons is not some regular Joe.

Furthermore, as I mentioned also, using run to set up the pads and the pass to set up the run is still a thing. And I shouldn't have to say it, but defense still wins championships. That is still a damned good blueprint for any era of football, damned near sacrosanct.

I mean, what do you expect to pay for the best rusher since Lawrence Taylor? I mean, seriously.

And the NFL has told you through actual contracts that literally half the league's starting QBs are worth more than the best pass rushers or any other position for that matter.

Giving him the deal isn't the crazy part. It's the fact that it's 93% guaranteed and that this year was added into that amount with a salary conversion to SB. (where he had none guaranteed previously this year) 

I can see and agree with your point here but the money from restructures is a sunk cost.  New money being less than average for a player of his quality was a win for the front office.  Getting almost all of it guaranteed is a win for the player.  The whole deal is just smart football.  He is as healthy as any other vet high end tackle with a history of being on the field. 

There's plenty of risk but that is the case with every NFL contract.  The pros greatly outweigh the cons with the only two cons I can see if the guaranteed money being high and he's not a spring chicken.  Both valid worries but his ability, character, play on the field, salary, and not having to watch Bryce run for his life are worth those risks IMHO.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
