Yas changes his mind again: "Panthers can't afford to take Newton"

It IS Yas, so take it for what it's worth (aka nothing):

I don’t see the Panthers taking Newton with the first pick. They need to solidify their quarterback position immediately. Newton’s not going to be an instant 70-percent passer. They’ll get their quarterback through free agency or a trade, and that makes sense, because a veteran guy could make the Panthers respectable at quarterback right away. The rest of Carolina’s roster isn’t that bad. Give the Panthers a quarterback who can complete 60-percent of his passes and give them some semblance of a passing game and they’ll be competitive.

Newton’s not going to do that right away, and maybe he never does. The Panthers need to get a quarterback who can throw the ball right now, and I don’t think that quarterback is in this draft.

I couldn't disagree more with his logic. I would rather have a young QB to build around rather than a one-year rental like he suggests. The Panthers will have the same problem next year if they wait.

One year rental will tell us if Clausen is the guy or not. Plus, QB's should be a better class next year (if Clausen tanks, we will be in position for Luck).

I do agree with him, but it's Yas, and... well, he's had like 5 articles about how we should take a Qb if blah blah blah... haha.

It's not actually an inconsistency.

His suggestion has been that the Panthers should take a QB number one if they believe that there's a franchise quarterback in the draft.

This article essentially says there's no franchise quarterback in the draft (or at least that it isn't Newton).

Argue the conclusions if you want, but he's not really reversing himself.

      My comments go back to what I would have done in 2023. That is really when everything veered off of what I thought was good and well. I wanted to keep Wilks, re-sign Darnold and Foreman, and trade down in the draft to take Torrance, Kincaid, Charbonnet, or Mims obviously depending on where they fell. Knowing what was coming the next draft class, that was the prudent thing to do.    I’d still take Warren over Tet, or even Matthew Golden over Tet. Bryce needs guys who get open because right now, no one on this roster creates separation forcing Bryce to be a pinpoint passer which is insane because he’s 5’9. Give me receiving options that create space.    they called him a Mini-Mahomes yet have done nothing similar to what the Chiefs have done to capitalize on those “traits”. It’s absurd. Give me a tight end who can back yard ball, a slasher at running back, a power back, and two 4.3 receivers with exceptional route running.    That’s how you build around what Bryce has done well.

      We should have traded down, taken Torrance, taken Charbonnet and Mims. Then gone defense. Re-signed Foreman and Darnold. If we sucked again, then you get a shot at Daniels, Maye, Williams, or Nix. You get to keep DJ Moore and stack a core of talent.

      What is it that Cam is supposed to do differently? He is a running back. Dart will learn to slide, and eventually he won’t be playing with PS elevation receivers so he won’t have to run nearly as much.
