  1. I’d give two 2023 QBs a top 20 grade; Young and Stroud. Stroud may not even declare. I’d consider taking a flier on AR if we can trade back and acquire a 2024 1st OR keep #9 and trade up into late 1st. Levis is more of a late second to third rounder. He’s another Kenny Pickett imo. Next year is much deeper and has more premier talent at the top. Especially if Stroud stays in school.
  2. Only including trades doesn’t account for all moves Fitt made last off-season. Here is the link to all Panthers trades made in 2022: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/transactions/2022/carolina-panthers/trade/ Order of trades by success in my opinion: Shenault —> Daley —> CMC —> Baker —> Robbie Shenault - he may be our most explosive playmaker with the ball in his hands. We have to find ways to get him the ball on sweeps or out of the backfield next year Daley - Was likely going to be cut. Getting anything at that point is a success. Getting a 5th was good work. CMC - I view this as a win/win trade. Was hoping it would lead to a worse record this season with him gone, but turns out our offense functioned better without him. It was a shame our coaches weren’t capable of scheming him appropriately. Still, a good haul for a big contract RB with injury questions. Baker - It didn’t work out on the field, but I’m not mad about that trade at all. It was worth what we gave up (5th rounder) and paid (5mil) to take the shot. Robbie - Not mad about the trade. The extension before that is what makes it terrible
  3. I like CMC too, but don’t see how Panthers fans could root for a 49ers win with so much draft position riding on it for us.
  4. You dislike all of our free agent signings from last offseason?
  5. Cheers for the honesty and effort. I botched the years though. I was curious of the poster’s opinion on the combined 2023 and 2024 classes. Since so many are scoffing at the idea of waiting until next year to draft a 1st round QB, I thought that would be interesting to see. I’d go… 1. Williams 2024 2. Maye 2024 3. Young 4. Stroud 2024?? 5. Rattler 2024 6. Penix Jr 2024 7. AR 8. Daniels 2024 9. Levis 10. Ewers 2024 In discussion for top 10- 15McKee, Hooker, Bennett, Rising 2024, Ward 2024, McCarthy 2024, Nix 2024 Easy to see why I think 2024 is a great year to target a 1st round QB.
  6. Howell’s a better QB. He was in college. He was in preseason. He is now. We missed on that one. Hopefully MC recovers fully and proves me wrong. I’ll be rooting for him.
  7. What’s your top 6-10 QBs from the 2022 & 2023 draft eligible classes combined?
  8. You say a Maye or Williams won’t be a Panther because we won’t tank enough to draft them. In the same post, you argue that Fitt should move up in the draft to make the sexy pick this year. Which is it? Do you believe we can move up for a QB or not?
  9. If Stroud stays in school, I don’t even consider drafting a QB at #9 this year. I’m drafting a weapon that will be ready to help the QB I select in 2024.
  10. If the guys listed in that tweet were in this year’s draft, what would your top 6-10 look like?
  11. I hear you. Doesn’t change the fact 2024 is our year to land a franchise QB in the draft. Not to mention the rumors (albeit unlikely) that Stroud could return to Ohio St.
  12. I’d be pretty excited to see how it plays out with Steichen, but I’m undecided based on reading he can be a little awkward. Maybe that’s overblown. You’re probably right on Reich.
  13. My outlook on our future based on potential hires: Optimistic - Johnson, Ryans Undecided - Steichen, Kafka, Mayo Content, but pessimistic- Wilks Disappointed: Dorsey, Reich Hopeless: Caldwell
  14. If you click the link, you can see the offensive selections. Justin Jefferson and Davante Adams were the WRs.
  15. Its going to play out with him getting cut because no one is going to guarantee him 40 million. If a team did want to, he’d waive that no trade clause instantly.
  16. Notice the word ‘’more.” 35 more than 5 = 40
  17. Why? Because he’d be guaranteed over $40 million come February 15th. That’s why to most of those questions.
  18. My argument was that Carr, while better than Darnold, isn’t worth $35 million more per year. I stand by that. Give me Darnold for two years, $10mil over Carr for two years, $80 mil. Just imagine the other talent we could acquire with that $70mil over that span.
  19. Bold. I respect it, but I hope we stay out of that frenzy unless Stroud or Young drop. If 4/5 QBs go in the top 8, we would be in prime position to trade back and acquire more picks. #9 would have their pick of the best player at multiple positions if that happens. Or we could just stay put and select one of them.
  20. You think 4 QBs go in the top 8? I think it's more likely that only two go in the top 8. I guess there's a lot that will play out between now and then so who knows.
  21. Why are people so convinced Young will stay injured when 45 year old, not fleet of foot Brady is able to survive the rigors of a full season? Sure, Tom is bigger but he also doesn't have the lean muscle mass support Bryce will in his lower twenties. Young isn't a Lamar or Fields who will be running constantly.
  22. I think I'd throw up if we trade up for Jalen Carter.
  23. Not an odd take at all. I agree with you. It seems our owner wants a more progressive, offense-oriented head coach. That's not Wilks. If our owner stood up for Wilks and made sure he was given the DC role, that would indicate he is valued by the organization. It is still a promotion from where he started the year. Now, if we choose a defensive-minded coach over Wilks, I'd consider leaving "the room flipping a double bird" if I were him.
  24. I have to give you props on the Smith call and wish our front office had made that move (long snapper smh), even with his injury concerns. That said, while I acknowledge we would be in even better position with that move, Fitt also deserves credit for constructing our current oline. Top 10 in the league imo.
