SI: Time For Panthers to Move On From Bryce Young - Bryce is statistically the worst QB in the NFL since being drafted.

Thinking something like Jesse Minter & Mendoza could be a solid ticket.

I would love to get Mendoza. I don't think he will get out of the 1st round though.

No thanks on Mendoza. I don't want another Bryce-like trade up deal and that's what it would take to land him.

The only question now is what to Dave and Dan do? Bring in a Winston type and draft a guy? Move up in the draft for immediate starter? Push it off another year and look QB in 2027?

Some other team will sign him to a deal, if/when we finally wise up and cut bait.

Depending on the time frame, don't be shocked it's our friends down I-85 that take that shot.

If it is a trade, expect a similar package the Jets and Broncos put together with a late round pick swap to facilitate the trade for Zach Wilson

Never know.  I'm just thinking who could be QB2-3. 

As things stand now, Simpson seems to have the scouts' eyes. Mendoza next.  

Dante Moore is there if he opts in the draft (that's a target with a legit arm).  He is probably the only guys in range R1 if we can't land Mendoza.  

A 2nd-3rd rounder on Maiava/Nuss/Mateer may be what we're looking at.

Mendoza isn't getting put of the top 3 picks. He probably ends up going #1 overall honestly.

If he's there I'm drafting him it's probably just gonna be another run of top 10 QBs. The rookie wage scale has taken the bust risk factor away so if you don't have a QB and you think there's a potential franchise QB on the board you pretty much have to draft him.

Nussmeier sucks. Period. I wouldn't even look at him until we get to the "throwing darts at the board" portion if the draft.

Nuss is a strange case.  He completely imploded this season.

I think he is but I'm not sure everyone does. But I also think there's a couple of other qb's that have a shot in the league that could be there for us if they want one. My concern is the decision makers hasn't seen the light yet.

I just never saw it from him. I don't see what anyone was seeing when they were talking about him as an elite NFL QB prospect. I don't see any plus NFL traits, marginal size, and now this year a lot of questionable decision making on top of it.

Well one thing is for sure, will be interesting to get back on the QB search mindset again.  I haven't spent a ton of time watching college this year outside of some Mendoza and Moore stuff.  Once I dig into my usual draft prospect spiels, should be fun again I suppose lol.

Whether it was very impactful or not, people will talk themselves into him and pin a good portion of the blame on the coach, and point to the mid-season firing as justification.

[LinvilleGorge]

There's a lot of talk about Moore going back to school next year but with this QB class being underwhelming versus the hype he might be best off coming out this year. Like every other "next year's draft class" next year's draft class is being touted as loaded at QB so with a lot of the presumed top QB prospects not looking great this year the iron might be as hot as it's gonna get.
