Panthers to draft a QB...

According to our beat writer, Joe Person, its possible...

Russell Wilson said he met with the Panthers this week. Panthers possibly looking for a backup QB that can run same offense as Cam Newton. Wilson has the skills to run the read option, would be Cam's mini-me. With a later pick, would be interesting move.

I've looked at some of his highlight tapes, and he does look like he would be a great complement to Cam, should he ever go down. (God forbid) The biggest knock on Wilson is that he's 5'10". He's been compared to Doug Flutie. You be the judge. Click the link below. (I couldn't figure out how to embed the video. Sorry.)

Joe Person is the worst beat writer in the NFL. I don't know if I'd like the move. We have too many needs to waste a pick on a Cam's mini-me (dude is a midget as far as NFL QBs go). But late round picks are a crapshoot anyway (our 6th rounder from last year) so I wouldn't be pissed. I just wanted to take the time to say outwardly that Joe Person is a turd.

I watched every game Wilson played for his first 3 years, and almost all of them last year.

He's awesome and I'd love to have him on the Panthers, both as a Panthers fan and as an NC State alum. If he's around at our 5th rounder I hope we take him. It's not like 5th round picks generally become starters anyway.

I love Russell Wilson, and I called this in the other thread.

However, I only want him if its past the 5th rounder, and I am almost certain he wont be there. I think he goes off the board in the 3/4.

People concerned with height, he played behind the 4th tallest offensive line in the country this season.

Height is important, but some have found ways to overcome it.

Still, I hate to burn a pick this season on a QB.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
