BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

As much as I'd rather had somebody eise, the 1 year let's me know they are looking at a developmental  qb too. I'd like to swing on Bech or The Baylor  Qb in the mid rounds. 

I don’t know much about the QBs in this class, but it is interesting there seem to be a few that were up until this past season considered 1st round picks that are now looked at more in the mid rounds (Sellers, Klubnik, Beck more so 2 yrs ago but still). I wonder if one of those types could be the guy. But also there’s probably good reason they lost favor. I remember when Sam Howell was considered a possible #1 pick, then another year in college happened.

It's really some guys to ke that have a shot to be good with the right system. Canales wants mobile qbs that have some upside.  Perfect draft to grab one mid round and build a guy up the way you want.

I mean I’d be fine with either of those but expecting them to push Bryce Young for QB1 any more than Pickett would just seems like wishful thinking and more of “they signed a 1st rd pick reclamation project type but not the one I like most therefore they don’t want to win football games”.

Howell's only true starting season he was sacked 65 times, put up almost 4k yards, ran for 250 and 5 tds while throwing for 21/21. Lot of ints but he was also being asked to do a lot with lots of pressure and no RB help. 

I don't think it's even questionable to think he could come in and legitimately compete with Bryce right away.

He couldn’t even beat out Tanner McKee for a backup spot last year. I’m all for it like I said, especially as a UNC fan, but multiple teams have tried him and he hasn’t beaten literally anybody out.

He sucks and won’t push Bryce sadly but he’s also 3x the QB that current Dalton is so at least we’d have a chance in some games if Bryce went down. D should be great with these signings. Still think our upside is way too limited by the QB position though unfortunately. But I can see a winning season and more legit playoff berth this year

I agree.  I don’t think I have ever been accused of being a Howell fan. No more than fan of some other random QB. 
 But I watched and I saw. He has some talent. Maybe I didn’t watch close enough to see his weaknesses.

Not a fan of this signing but when shopping the clearance table, you get the best you can afford. Very likely others wanted more $$ & years to sign. KP, if you are listening, do something BY has never done. Put in a full off-season of prep work. As soon as you sign, before the ink dries, hit the gym, the weight room, the practice field, the film room, whatever it takes. The Panthers have had a QB who came out of the gate, stumbling for the past 3 years. A game 1 win counts the same as a game 17. BY's starting spot is there for the taking, IMO. IF you really want it you have to take it.

This ^.

It's a back-up QB position filling. It's a bit of improvement at QB2 and it was something that was becoming obvious. Thanks to Andy for putting in the miles here, but it's been a long career and the days were getting shorter.

Every time I try to get on the Morgan train he does some sht like this. No competition for brycie you see..hows Pickett going to improve this team. We should have a high pick in a QB ladened draft for 2027.

When all off season every time he spoke he said the exact opposite.  Tepper still has his finger on the scale.  We are fuged

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
