OMGOMGOMG Jordan Gross said he wants us to pick...

so we've got Lafell - Peterson, Beason - Newton, and now Gross - Dareus?

Sounds like players are as split as the Huddle - and hell, as split as all the experts.

I do think it is kind of funny though, that all three want players at their respective, competing positions.

I have got to get into Hugger mode here and pull a reverse Scot. :)

Ahem. Of course an O-lineman isn't going to say he wants a QB even if he really does want him. It would be awkward if he was like "Hell yeah we need a QB!" And then we picked PP. Then he would have to jump through hoops with the press. To prove to Gantt that Clausen was his guy all along and to prove to Clausen he has his back.

Okay back to reality.

He was probably just being honest and Dareus would be a great fit.

    • There's a flip side to that, if he has 2 or 3 more great games and we make the playoffs, there's going to a tsunami of momentum to extend him going into next year. If he remains inconsistent, we will all be arguing all off season long. I think he's done enough to where he's going to at the very least, be the starter in 2026. Nothing is going to change that with 7 wins on the board at this point, even if we flame out and lose the remainder of them. We haven't won 7 games  If we win 8 games, that would be our highest win total since the 2017 season. That's very significant. 
    • GWD is the critical stat for an NFL QB. What you need for perspective is GWD %.  This is how many opportunities he converts. 2023 was 12.5%. 2024 was 33.3%. 2025 is 50%. Career is 28.9%. A consistent playoff winning QB is in the 30% range. A championship caliber QB is in the 40% range. He has been tracking well even with his major limitations under the development of Canales. This is the only reason he is holding on, but he is at the same level of a Derek Carr with the Raiders. Carr was 32.4% GWD in his first 3 seasons with 12 GWD in 37 opportunities. This gives you perspective on why he is frustrating to evaluate. Carr did what for the Raiders? 2 winning seasons in 9 seasons with 4 different HCs/OCs. This is what we want as Panthers fans? A decade of average with potential and many moments of hope? At least he'll win a QB skill competition like Carr, right?
