I am not sure we need to go outside the organization to replace Gettis. Just last week we brought in Naanee because nobody had stepped up at the #2. Frankly, Naanee seems to be a steal to me; I think he will do better away from the WRs in SD.

Lafell needs to catch the damn ball. But Armanti and Pilares are having impressive camps. I see a dropoff in the deep threat opposite Smith, but do not forget we have a TE who is a deep threat. Naanee has better hands than Gettis and Lafell, gets better body position, and is a better blocker (than Gettis). Not too much of a drop off in talent, just a different skill set.

Save your draft picks, Hurney. If you make a trade, do it for a CB.

Before we call Armanti and Pilares anything other than flashing at camp (we have seen guys look good in TC and then nothing in real games for many seasons now) we need to see them actually play in games.

Remember Chud's system... play action passes and deep balls. A deep option is a must even for Jimmy in this system. Jimmy is going to have to learn to throw the deep ball or its over for him as long as Chud is here.

It was over the second they drafted Cam.

if this is true, then it's just more fuel to the fire that they're going to start cam week 1.

You don't go out to replace your only real straight line burner if you're going to start Jimmy Clausen.

Deep 1 routes are relatively safe (throw it where only the receiver can grab it) and Cam has the strongest arm on the team.

Wow. Taking an unrelated point (replacing an injured WR with another WR of similar skills) and trying to make a direct correlation (ahh this must mean that Cam is starting).

If (and that is a big if) we get Evans, it makes Cam starting week 1 no more likely than before Gettis' injury. Replacing one fast WR with another.

That injured wide receiver offered something that no other WR on the team offers.

That injured wide receiver offered a very specific, very safe, very rookie friendly route that Cam should eventually excel at.

If you don't care about that 1 route, you don't immediately try to replace it.

The Panthers have hand crafted the entire starting offense to cater to Cam's youth and strengths. Going after Lee is what you'd expect to happen after losing their only burner.

I do see your point.

However, I don't think the correlation between the two is quite as strong as you do. But hey....I have been known to be wrong (quite often).

Are you kidding me? Everette Brown and a 5th? You can get a better WR in the 7th round alone... there are better undrafted options on the market. Armanti is a better option than Lee Evens.

Based on what?? Armanti has improved greatly over the offseason but he hasnt shown anything on the field. Game vs Training Camp are two different stories

stop using correlates, you're not using it correctly. I'm speaking about direct actions, not data. it might not be technically wrong but you sound like a pedantic ***.

and of course you're wrong, you're arguing with me.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
