I don't think it's gonna matter who we want when we are apparently going to sell the farm for a QB.

We may get a stroke of commonsense and not go that route.

We could be back at the bottom again, regretting our owners decisions, again

But people talk about the Riech hiring like it automatically comes with superbowl rings

I get the optimism , I really do, but 25 years of mediocrity and failure has made me a realist 

Im looking at it like Reich has a little more sense than to do some of things the desperate qb people are saying he will do.Thats what I am trusting, the man's commonsense.

No its not.Its more about knowing when to gamble and when not to.

The problem in this thinking is confusing process and person. How you acquire a player is nowhere near as important as how good that player is.

It's the same as when Frank Reich said of Ejiro Evero, "I'm hiring a man, not a system."

Absolutely correct.

I don’t believe for a moment this coaching staff can’t come to a conclusion about who they like the most. As a franchise we have settled too many times and it never works out. It’s time to be bold and go get our guy. 

Maybe their guy isnt there. The history of the franchise has zero to do with evaluating this crop of QBs.Thats superstition over logical analysis. I am holding to the hope they conclude this isnt the right well to boldly throw future coins into.

That's true. But if it comes down to two QBs who have footwork and accuracy issues and one of them is a freak athlete and one isn't, I'm taking the freak athlete.

A heck of a 1st rd TE in the making.

I see where you are very anti trading up. To me the move is not desperate as long as our staff truly believes our franchise QB is in this class. 

Its the " have to" I commented on and it is desperation to think we have to.Im not anti-moving up Im anti-over paying to move up.

A hard no to that...

The more I think about it the more I think we have to get to 1. Sounds like we are locked in on Stroud. You can’t risk Houston grabbing him at 2 if that’s your guy. 
 

Come on down, CJ 

"Have to" is just desperation...no we do not have to.

Come Carr on we need a vehicle for a better way forward.

Panthers trade up to 1, then back to 4, then up to 3, cause fug it.

Get Kevin Costner on the line...

Conversation with Carr today is supposed to be centered around money with his agent present. If the conversation goes well, he will visit in person and will likely leave with a contract.

This will be the fourth conversation he has had with the Panthers. He visited in person at the combine, and had two other phone conversations prior to the combine.

If conversation does not lead to further interest from either side, the Panthers will be searching for a dance partner in the Top 5.

Come Carr on we need a vehicle for a better way forward.

Pretty surprising people still think fit aka Rhule’s GM is legit after that idiocy. Maybe it’ll come to light when they pay him out the ass soon. Even Hurney would’ve taken that move.

Saving 24/25 firsts by offering Burns in a trade up scenario is the only way to redeem that but that is slim. Rams’ offer was to severely overpay and no team will match that…yet Fit was too dumb to pull the trigger which shocked pretty much every analyst out there.

He gets a pass with Rhule gone.

AR because he can play TE if he fizzles...

We'll see. It's a funky year because last year's QB class was perceived as weak and the QBs were pushed down the board. Feels like the entire league is working under the premise that Maye and Williams are the top two picks next year and there won't be any trading for those picks. So that leaves everyone chomping at the bit this year.

I am not usually this pessimistic I just cannot make myself look on this class very highly.Funny thing though I am starting to consider Stetson Bennett a high value pick.Its the top 4 that seem to be way overvalued to me.It just reaks of desperation.

So weak that there's legit concerns that four QBs might go before our pick at #9.

False premise...but good for us to dodge that bullet.

7 hours ago, JawnyBlaze said:

That’s what I think will happen. We’ll give #9, next years first and maybe the 49ers’ second to get to 3, then trade 2024 2nd and 2025 first to Chicago to get to 1. And I’m absolutely good with that for Stroud. 

Absolutely not...

I was getting annoyed at all the Cam isn’t a good comp for AR as if AR was beyond him. Newton’s college passing stats got him a NC and the heisman. He was so much better in college as a QB and I don’t recall a single Auburn skilled position player doing anything in the NFL.

AR isn’t close to Cam now. Maybe it’s possible that he’ll get there but Cam was a way better prospect.

The Winning part is the biggest part.That is why a Stetson Bennett pick wouldnt be a bad thing.

The team that traded up for Trubiskey also traded up for Fields. And have the #1 pick this year. So, like a lot of folks here, they only act like they know anything.

Biscuit was a my man but that trade...lol
