This is the 3rd season where he started off playing beyond shitty effectively putting the team behind the 8 ball from the jump.  Now its obviously not all on him but 3 x is a damn trend and you cannot risk that a 4rth time.

Lol I am not saddle broke either. Agree. 
But do you remember the second half (a half mind you) of Green Bay in 2023 and how long we were told about it? 
Irrational stanning is hard to stamp out.

The weirdest stat.. I tried to get the definition straight, it was all over the place. 
‘A big time throw is one into a tight window or this or that’ and just stopped. I have eyes. I can see what a good throw is. And I saw every one of them. Many twice. Or more

Quite a few mocks have us going Edge with our first pick, which I think is odd considering we got Nick and Princely looking good. I think we have to take a Quarterback if one we like is there. Please don't trade down; the class isn't that good.  One mock has us taking the Safety out of OSU, but that seems like it would be high for the position, even though he looks to be an A+ prospect.

if we dont pick up the 5th there is no way we dont go qb unless DC convinces them he can rehab Russ, kenny pickett, jimmy g, wentz etc.

 

on the flip side if we do draft one and DC is on a short leash we are already setting up for failure.  5 wins or less and just clean fuging house top to bottom, nobody would give a poo

Reuben Bain Jr and Caleb Downs seem to be the blue chippers on defense this year and I have no qualms with obtaining one of them.

Here is the main deal. If you are picking inside the top 8-10, the focus nearly must fall on the following- QB, WR, Edge/DE, LT, DT. There's always exceptions- Luke, Quetin Nelson, CB, and RT names.

The facts are the Panthers have what the 31st ranked pass rush or last in sacks with NIc and Prince. You can play 4 edges on the same play. Drafting a edge would be correct move. 

Panthers need talent and talent at the difference making spots. 

100% avoid safety, in the top 10 even top 20. The only way to break this rule, clones of Sean Taylor, Ed Reed, or Ronnie Lott.
