I saw that and just let out a long sigh.

We do need a quarterback. We do NOT need any of the quarterbacks that are available. Rest assured if a true talent is available at some point the FO will do their best to pick him up, I think this is telling as Delhomme is yet to be extended.

My prediction is that once all the dust is settled and there are no viable quarterbacks to be picked up, we will extend him and look next year.

Most fans think only in terms of skill positions.

That’s why the team’s biggest need is for a quarterback, after Jake Delhomme’s six turnovers in the playoffs.

That’s why most fans have a No. 89 jersey but couldn’t name another receiver on the team.

That’s why people are quick to congratulate Williams and Stewart but know little about the line they run behind.

And that’s why anytime a quarterback, running back or receiver is on the market, someone posts about the Panthers going after them.

Last year’s offseason showed us how critical a dominant line is. Now let’s apply that same plan of attack to our defensive line. Our skill players are already in place (quarterback is debatable, but I don’t think it’s enough of a need to warrant really going after anyone; at least not to replace Jake right now).

I think you're off base with the "most" comment. Most fans know their team and are more knowledgeable than you give credit.

Most people on this board are knowledgeable. We constitute a very small part of the fanbase. Go to a game and hear the people around talk about the game as it is happening. Many of them don't have a clue.

Perhaps you’re right.

I guess I’m thinking more of Johnny Q. Panthers Fan, the average guy who might watch the Panthers game every Sunday, but doesn’t research and keep up with the team as much as others might. It’s no surprise that such a person would think we need to go after a quarterback, especially after Delhomme’s performance in the playoffs. A more comprehensive view, however, might acknowledge how poorly our defense played down the stretch, as well as cap figures and the whole financial side of it.

Umm I'd dare to bet I've been to as many if not more games as anyone. And yes I've sat beside an elderly lady or bubble gum popping teen or two who had no Idea what was going on. I've also sat beside 8 year olds that knew the entire roster, and were very aware of rules of the game.

But to imply that "most" fans fall in either of these categorys is untrue, the majority of people who truly follow a team know who all 22 starters are.

EDIT: I should add the majority of fans are watching on TV, and can't help but be informed.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
