I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

Depends on perspective. I do think the talent is great. Whether T-Mac reaches his potential is another story, especially within these current circumstances. Some of the metrics are really good already (like average yards per catch). Even PFF already had him as the 20th or so best WR in the league.

T Mac is already a great receiver.  We've got great talent behind him but they aren't yet great players (Horn and Coker - the later is obviously further along). TE has some bright spots.  But TMac is already, despite the shitty QB play, a great receiver, as you say. 

I'm hopeful that we will be able to get someone in here that can really take advantage of what TMac can offer and we'll see how good he is. Because there's little else this week but hope for the future, heh.

Unpopular opinion here but I would not mind picking up Diego Pavia in the 3rd or 4th round. The dude has this Moxie about him that I really like and he is tough. I know many probably won't want him because he is undersized but I love his confidence.

Not another short guy w/ who needs to wind up and plant his feet to throw intermediate/long.  I like him more than Bryce for sure though.

We have had one of the bottom 5 QB rooms in the NFL three years running. Obviously we shouldn't force it and reach but there is absolutely no logical reason QB should not be firmly on the table in the first two rounds. In fact you could even argue drafting one in the later rounds as well. It is the most important position on the field and the decision makers should treat it as such or they will surely find themselves looking for work elsewhere sooner or later.

I disagree, a lot of people on here have said their opinions on signees, draftees, coaching hires, who to play etc and have made better decisions than the front office. Not saying they could run a team, but they seem to be better armchair GMs than our current regime the last 6 years.

ChatGPT would do a better job.  Can't overthink things if you don't think at all.

It's a sad reality that the Panthers would've honestly been better off over the past several years to make major decisions via Huddle poll than going with the decisions they actually made. People say "oh, you think you know more than the professionals?" No, I don't. I know that. That's why it's so baffling watching them making obvious huge blunders in real time.

I am fine drafting a QB but we do need to be realistic about this upcoming draft class. More than likely, a great/good QB option may not be available at our pick. It's looking like an extremely weak QB class. 

It might be a better idea to make that move late, as this class does seem to be heavy with guys with attributes but a lot of warts. I would hate to miss out on a valuable contributor and potentially core member on another QB reach.

Play the board. BPA. Get better as an overall team.

I wish there was someone we could trade for that wouldn’t take developing.

I don't think we are a good enough roster to rush that. If there is a true answer available and the price makes sense, sure.

But sure answers at QB are rarely ever available in the NFL.

I don’t have anyone in mind but think if Canales had a Mayfield or Darnold (for a bad tasting example) we would be much improved without the developmental period that no one wants to go through with Canales.

I just really don’t want to go through another staff overhaul and all the player turnover that goes with it because we would be in the same place as last time with no one wanting to take the job and we would settle again. I’d probably just be out for instance if we kept Bryce and changed coaches

I honestly think a far better QB would just end up exposing Canales much more significantly.

Well if that transpired I would stand on your side. I am a show me type. Don’t tell me, do it. 

Show me this playbook is the same a legit QB would get, to start with. Maybe get him off the play calling.

I’ll allow that I don’t like his kumbaya approach, that is how a woman would sees things. And we are dealing with men.
