Mr. Scot

Which is their standard position, and I believe still true right now. I know people freak out at the idea but they really shouldn't. It could turn out to be a very smart deal.

I see a whole lot of this with people talking about Bryce Young. And yeah, I get it. That's to be expected. To be honest though, If he's our pick, I don't want Young to be the next Russell Wilson. I'd much rather he be a shorter, smaller version of Peyton Manning.

I'd sure as hell take it if they did.

To be fair, I'd expect that to be something that they would have discussed even if Young were just a possibility. I know guys will see this as confirmation of Young being the pick, and he very well could be, but this doesn't really say anything definitive.

Beat me to it

Okay, somebody look up what receivers visited last week cuz apparently one of them was a big hit.

...but adds they'll listen to offers if one "makes sense". Would say they're not expecting anything but still keeping their options open.

Possibly, but it is kinda hard to say for sure given that's the only guy everybody seems to be asking about.

Yeah, honestly not seeing it in his frame.

Oh Lord, here it comes

Fitterer starting now

I have no problem with the idea of drafting Young...except the same one everybody else has (concerns about his durability). I really dislike stupidity though

Saw the name. Honestly can't remember him here. Guessing he wasn't around for long. Always hate to hear when someone passes young like this. .

From a (mercifully) locked thread by the user: "My username is satire which I keep trying to explain (hence the blatant misspelling of his name) but the shitposters can’t read too well and certain words trigger them to post their absurdities and gets them all gussied up and red in the face lol. Fun times until the 27th for sure!" T'would appear somebody is full of sh-t

Or a Panthers myth. If he's the pick, I hope for the former, but I also acknowledge the possibility of the latter.

Cope?

I'm fine with Young if he's the pick, but I think this stuff has gotten pretty stupid. Too many people are posting moronic sh-t just for the sake of being assholes. I might need to take some time away from here for a bit.

So, actually...not "done"

As soon as either a) insiders stop reporting it or b) the draft is over. Till then...

We're reported to be open to trading out of #1...to #2.

Yep, and the trend is becoming to try and win with a quarterback on a rookie deal. That's not necessarily the best thing for the veterans. I think there'll be change at some point. It's just unclear what kind of change it'll be.

I wouldn't go that far, but it wouldn't surprise me for his agents to believe he's going either one or two. It'd be a reasonable assumption.

I don't know if a separate quarterback cap would work. I do know things like that have been proposed, as well as a cap percentage limit, excluding quarterbacks from the cap altogether and other suggestions. Feels like they need to do something, for sure. As it stands now, paying your franchise quarterback and protecting your franchise quarterback are becoming mutually exclusive propositions.
