What is it going to be next year? Are we going to hold the #1 pick again?

What's guaranteeing that the Panthers are going to be holding a high pick next year? I never understood the "Hurrff we gonna draft BPA then draft Luck next year Hurrff"

Is it something I've missed, or is it assumed that we're going to be in the drafting position to grab a top QB prospect next year?

I've never understood this faulty logic.

No matter whom we draft this year, we cannot sign them until there is a CBA. If one is not reached ( or imposed) by the 2012 draft, all this years draftees will have to re-enter that draft.(unless the draft itself is ruled illegal). While there is little chance that this will occur, it would certainly lead to a loaded draft next year.

Re: the bolded part above...I don't believe this is true. My understanding is they would still be on the books as the team's selection and would just need to be signed.

Correct me if I am wrong.

This is according to Gil Brandt on Sirius. Drafted players have until the next draft to sign or go back into the next draft. Undrafted players, who cannot be signed now either( although teams will undoubtably have wink and nod agreement,) would continue to be free agents and not go back into the draft.

This really makes sense when you think about it. If all a player had to do was refuse to sign with their drafted team and could become a free agent after a year, no 1st rounder would ever sign.

That would be wild. Seems they would then have to have the equivalent of a 14 round draft, with round 1A and 1B etc. through round 7.

Short of doing this doubling up, some really good players (i.e. normal 3rd to 4th round quality) would be falling into the free agent pool.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
