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.  

Tyson Bagent is the only real player I can think of that I would consider wanting to trade for. He's been in the league 3 or 4 years now, the Bears thought highly enough of him to keep him and sign him to a $10 million extension as a back-up. Clearly he has developed, and he looked really, really good in the preseason. Not just in his numbers but his ball placement, pocket movement, decision making, and execution of the offense. 

It will never happen, but that's who I would explore if we don't get a shot at Drew Allar or Carson Beck in the draft.

This team isn't going anywhere regardless of who plays QB.  You play BY every single snap unless he's physically unable to and then you  make your decision at the end of the year.   

You haven't seen enough yet?

The team fell for that late season averageness he displayed last year and got burned. You want to do that again? I don’t. 
But I sort of do agree that we are stuck with him as the starter. 

I can’t decide whether replacing him gets us into the playoffs so suffering through one last season is the price for freedom in 2026. 
Three ways to be free in 2026:


He actually plays like a real NFL QB, 

The team sends him packing.

Be completely out on tne Panthers until changes are made.

Salute for bringing him up. I like him.

It might be better to look for the next darnold or baker rather than draft another rookie with potential. Idk.. Its hard to say right now. 

Bakers are hard to come by. Darnolds should still come with a rookie in that big picture. We got a Baker when we had a Darnold but it was year 3 of Rhule that should never have happened given the first 2 years.

Sam has played 2 good teams and is 0-2 and his numbers continue to drop...Just like his year before Baker with us. That's not the answer but part of an answer.

The thing about top drafted QBs is when a guy looks like a sure thing, the teams aren’t letting go of the pick.

So it is luck of the draw if you do or do not get that lined up. 
The only time it makes sense to draft a guy is if you are really positive about him not because you are under duress due to a dire need.

That’s like being at the bar at closing time and you haven’t hooked up - you might settle for something you want to chew your arm off the get away from in the morning.

    • I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.
    • Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.
    • Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
