If I'm Indy...

I'd take the quarterback that I thought was elite. To hell with the extra picks. If we had gotten something like Dareus, Gabbert, and Jabaal Sheard last year with some more picks coming, I would feel a lot worse about this team than I do now with just Cam.

A great quarterback is just too important for a franchise.

...and who would you draft to play QB since Peyton is gone and they cut Painter?

I don't think you have to throw in the "they cut Painter" he seems to be as bad as anybody in the league. But yeah, the point remains that a lot of picks are great, but you're just killing time until you get a great quarterback.

I trade the #1 pick for 4 1sts and 2 2nds

No way..... if I am Indy, I am staying put no matter what. UNLESS you feel Luck is gonna be a bust. Otherwise you stay right there and get your guy. We all had this same conversation last year and I felt the same way, and now we have our Franchise QB and he is worth way more than 4 1st and 2 2nds... in my opinion at least :cool:

The beauty of the situation is, since the rookie contract payscale came into place last year, they won't have to give up the rights to the stadium just to sign the kid. Can you imagine how big a contract this guy would have if the payscale didn't come into play, or even Cam for that matter?

and they'd still suck and be left with inferior options to build around at QB for years.

it sounds attractive but teams that trade down for a ton of picks like that rarely do well afterwards.

it seems on the surface like a bold and shrewd management move, but it turns out to be a putz move and they usually show how badly run they are.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      By Mage · Posted

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
