The only conclusion I can make is the Panthers decision makers are just set in their ways for better or worse.

The New Orleans Saints kicked this bum to the curb nearly three years ago and have a rookie QB that many people ridiculed them for drafting who might as well be lightyears ahead of our QB room.

And people actually want to argue that our GM is competent.

Throwing shade at our GM who was not the GM when Andy was brought in and has brought in the most promising rookie class in years is quite a decision

At least he stopped drafting WRs that cant catch and RBs that cant run.

QB Trey Lance is  a free agent after the 2025 season because he signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers in April 2025. This contract, which is set to expire after the 2025 season, makes him an unrestricted free agent at the end of 2025. 

• Contract Status: Lance signed a one-year deal with the Chargers in April 2025, meaning he will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season concludes.

( "The Panthers Need To Sign Him As Soon As The 2025 Season Ends') 

I agree. So next year, do you want Lance competing with a vet or a draft pick?

I want three QBs on the roster if we sign a Lance type and draft a guy.At least to start with. 
Lance seems to be injury prone so definitely if it is him. Maybe a vet that could be traded if the draft pick shows anything or if the pick doesn’t then may f practice squad for him

This years draft is a separate discussion.

QB is the most consequential position on the football field.

Whether you like it or want to acknowledge it the fact of the matter is Morgan chose to continue with one of the worst QB rooms in the league two years in a row. And he extended Andy Dalton after Dalton had a couple of the most putrid starts we've seen in years against the Bears and the Commanders. It was abundantly clear Andy Dalton was done last year. Still Morgan chose to continue to pay him. Andy Dalton now has over $100 million in career earnings. We're just giving away money here.
