I mean, Willis was a good athlete with very ugly tape against joke teams. Richardson is a top .01% athlete that shows some elite traits on tape against decent teams. It's really a world of difference. I never liked Willis after watching his games. He couldn't process the field at all.

It's a problem. Young being too small, he'll need an amazing offensive line to keep him clean. Then we have Stroud, who has size, but overall doesn't look great under pressure, with the exception of the Peach Bowl.

???

Even a few days ago Matt Miller was saying he get the sense the Panthers were "all in" on Richardson. I don't really believe it, but it's not like isn't contradicting reports.

It's plain to see when I watch his games. He's late on throws, doesn't see his guys or the other teams, and gets flustered. It's very similar to Darnold's problems. On the other hand, Richardson is surprisingly quick with his reads and can navigate difficult situations well. His biggest problem is his mechanics which lead to inaccuracy. His decision making was generally good and improved from game to game. I've watched every game that I can find from Levis and Richardson at this point, and if the Panthers have to choose between them I would much rather they go with Richardson. That is, right now Richardson is still behind Stroud and even Young for me. Stroud isn't flashy, but he's a technician that can get it done. Young is tiny, but oh my God is he a gamer when you watch him.

He's so much like Sam Darnold it's scary.

That's the main problem from Levis. He processes the field poorly and doesn't see receivers and often linebackers that whistling towards him. It's why Richardson is getting more points for his game tape than many people think, because he navigates the pocket extremely well, and can see the field.

Raiders might be the team to get the first overall pick, considering the division they're in.

It would still be an awful team, but then the Ravens will probably take a shot at moving up to first overall.

Lamar Jackson in Atlanta would be a nightmare scenario.

I think it depends on who you ask within the front office, as far as desperation. I feel like Coach Reich is obviously safe, but if Scott doesn't find a quarterback this off-season I would imagine he would be on the hotseat. At the same time Tepper has been feeling the heat from fans since Cam was kicked to the curb, if that matters at all. This along with changes within the division this off-season could mean the Panthers are in position where they feel it's a do-or-die as far as quarterback. So, by that, I mean free agents and trade scenarios. The team is really built to win now, but needs a quarterback. Now that Carr is with the Saints, that puts more pressure on the Panthers to find their guy. There's actually a nightmare scenario now where Lamar Jackson could end up in Atlanta, and at the same time giving the Ravens ammo to take the first overall pick from the Bears. If this happens it will create a tense situation for the Panthers where the third overall pick will cost more than currently speculated. It's a game of musical chairs at quarterback this off-season, and some teams will not end up with a chair.

Pretty much. It's what the team needs. The coaching staff was designed to develop a quarterback, one way or another.

I get it. He basically was saying what pretty much everyone has said regarding the Panthers. They'll either sign a free agent or draft a quarterback.

Okay, new guy was wrong, happens.

Because it's interesting. A lot of people claim to have sources and usually they get laughed at. A random no name account with hardly any posts and they're a soothsayer that's worth defending?

As much as I didn't want Carr. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's an overpay. The market is what it is, and quarterbacks are seemingly getting rarer with the big names retiring. If you believe in one, you pay them. Especially with the ever expanding cap, which can be manipulated.

I mean, I agree, he's not worth it. Though letting your division rival acquire your Plan A at quarterback, in a wide open division, after years of not being competitive because of deficiency at the position? It doesn't seem like a market contract would be the hold up if the Panthers truly coveted Carr.

Alright, so the big insider @Leaky_Faucet predicted we would kick the tires then. The Plan A comment wasn't really what they intended it to mean. The Panthers weren't as interested as other teams, and only 'kicked the tires' as widely reported by pretty much everyone. Who is @Leaky_Faucet's main account then? Because no one here would care about these half-hearted predictions if they weren't somebody that's in the clique.

Plan A money, but from the Saints.

He said that Carr was plan A in another post. If they walked it a bit back after, I didn't read that post.

The Jets were fence sitting because of Rodgers. They said as much. We were reportedly not interested at all with Rodgers.

So, who is Leaky_Facet's main account?

Of course, it makes sense. It also makes sense that if the Panthers were really interested they would have made a trade offer, or alternatively brought him to town if they were serious.

He does, if a team doesn't trade for him, sure. He just wanted to be a Saint.

I wonder who there main is. There's a reason posters here are going to bat for them.
