Woof, that's a rough list. I know UNC homers will bang the drum for Trubisky and Howell.  The Colts ain't letting Indiana Jones leave.  Again, slim pickings.

I'd take a swing on Tray Lance in a competition scenario.

When do we upgrade at QB, then? Or should we?

There's enough players on this offense that you could do something with just reliable QB play and like, one extra WR. 

The Panthers need a pass rusher and a ILB. 

We're not trying to win a superbowl next season; we are trying to be competitive in every game. That means ditching bryce for literally anything, getting to the QB, stopping the run. 

They need to play Fox Ball.

brother next season we have to make the playoffs, period full stop.  

 

I wholeheartedly disagree with your take about the qb situation.  We know bryce aint it, send him packing in the off season, you have to draft a guy to develop and then sign some poo vet as a place holder.  Then hope and pray the talent on the team can have you competing for the south.

As someone who was at the game -

Bryce Young doesn't have the arm to make high-level throws.  He just doesn't.  It isn't worth having a discussion of if he will ever live up to what we gave up for him - he won't.  And any comparisons to Baker and Darnold are reaching; their issues were more mental than anything else.  They always had the physical talent.  

There was a throw on 3rd down where Bryce rolled out and had a guy open on the sidelines, but he literally couldn't get the ball there.  It was jarring to see live.  

I think Bryce will be a very good back-up in this league.  Not for us because we aren't good, but for a functional NFL franchise?  He's going to hang around this league for a long time, especially because by all accounts he's a good guy.  But he will never be a consistent top 15/20 QB.  He lacks the talent.

He does that every game, space gets tight in the pocket, or he's rolling out and being chased so he can't generate momentum with his body as easily (two situations that happen aplenty in the NFL) and the ball dies like a dead duck and skips 5 yards in front of the receiver who is 10-15 yards away. It's incredibly embarrassing to think of how much we gave up for that when it's such a common NFL play. One thing to always ask yourself about a QB pre-draft, if the interior line is losing leverage and you cannot step into your throw, can you still stand tall and deliver a strike to an out route 10 yards away? Yes or No? Bryce cannot due to his physical limitations. Obviously other things to consider at QB but that's a big one for me.

I cannot imagine how bizarre it is to watch in person, I've seen multiple people on social media talk about how underwhelming he looks in person. If that's what it took for Tepper to forever remove himself and his wife out of football decisions then maybe that'll be alright long term, but my god man, you totally jacked this franchise up with that trade.

Thank goodness Morgans draft picks are stepping up this year, because it could easily be worse than it is.

make the playoffs/be competitive in every game, same difference. 

I don't understand this infatuation with drafting a guy. Two of the best QBs in the league right now are Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, on their 5th and 4th teams respectively. One of the main reasons Canales was hired was his work with a 10th year qb in Seattle. Daniel Jones is looking like he's going to be a playoff QB. 

Why reach on a prospect when you can get reasonable production from elsewhere and add higher floor players at areas of need

I dont know about playoff talk haha

But based on our staff really harping on being a developmental staff, i think we do draft one regardless of if its 1st round or later. I don’t think we will just bring in a backup or fringe starter level at best vet QB and say we’re good. But it all depends on how they feel about bryce after this year. We know how we feel. But our organization does some funny things sometimes haha

A QB doesn't need to make good throws? 

 

Wtf ever. 

If he doesn’t poo his pants and drop the ball like a terrified worm or throw a horrible ball across the middle a few plays later that is intercepted. He doesn’t have to make those “clutch” throws at the end of the game. 
 

Should have beat the dolphins by 2 TDs but instead the whole team was helping him clean his own mess up. He’s the reason we lost to Arizona. Everyone praised his 2nd half but failed to realize all of his turnovers that got us behind in the first place.

So yeah, if he had not poo the bed in the first quarter, we wouldn’t have been reliant on those throws because we would have been running the clock out the entire 4th quarter.

I keep hearing that Bryce "gifted" the Dolphins 14 points, and the game would have been closer to the ATL game if not for his turnovers. I don't agree. Didnt they drive down to inside the 10 on their first drive, and came away with a FG? Now the fumble was a complete doophus moment but it didn't gift them points. They still had to drive 50+ yards to score. Defense gave up a 3rd and 8, a 3rd and 7, a 4th and 5, and a 3rd and goal from the 10. That's on the D. Horrible fumble by the QB but it didn't put them in scoring position.

Same with the interception, which I don't mind as much. At least he was throwing downfield. It happens. But that put them on the 50 yard line. That's not scoring position. Evero adjusted with stunts and more exotic blitzes after those TDs. Honestly think they score 13+ points with or without the turnovers.

I don't think the Chargers will let Lance leave.

You're realistically going to have to trade for one of the better backups in the league - or spunk your first overall on a massive gamble / pay a terrible 30+ year old to start.

Neither one will win a SB. Better to watch football 100% but Sam folds under pressure and Baker should at least make a secent playoff run. 

Do both IMO. Most of the guys coming out need a year anyways. Go do that and have somecompletion along the way. Best case, you can trade one for more than you drafted one of them for. Win-win.

As a Canes fan, we're very much missing Cam Ward.

If he was our QB this year I think we win the National Title. I'm nowhere near as bullish with Carson Beck under Centre.

Dude, Beck is so much more efficient than Ward it's hardly even worth talking about. With Ward I feel like that USF game would have bene a one score affair, the FSU game probably ends up being a loss, and the UF game, with how much better their defense is this year, would have been a lot closer. The reason being because Ward is/was quite careless with the ball and he plays "Super Man ball". 

You guys are iffy on Beck because he's playing on time, within the framework of the offense. He isn't making the off-schedule plays when the receivers aren't there but when the receivers are on their P's and Q's, Beck can deliver it anywhere, on time, and in phase.

You also have to realize that Beck has led Miami to wins over Notre Dame, a ranked USF, a likely Top 20 team in Florida, and now Florida State. He's already led Miami to more marquee wins than Ward had all of last season.

I watch a ton of college football. If Beck has the mentality to be great, and will put in the work to be great, he has a chance to be really, really good. Reminds me a lot of Jared Goff honestly, or a Joe Burrow type as a thrower of the ball.

    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.  
    • Actually that part abuot the Bears is not my opnion. I was watching some show and they were talking about how lucky the Bears have been this year. That's the only reason I brought it up.
