I don’t understand that pick there

Really

Trade back, I mean everything we need is still there

Darnel Washington let’s go!

Excited for this pick!  We needed Bryce like it or not, he can play at a high level NOW.  It was the right pick and I fully support it!  Now get us and Edge or TE and we are rolling!!!

I dunno, as someone who really wants CJ, the closer we get to the draft that more I'm falling in line.  We have our backs against the wall, after being in QB purgatory for the last several years we have to 1.  Get a QB and 2. Get a QB that can start day 1.  As much as I love CJ as a prospect, I'm not sold on the fact that he could come in and be an impact player tomorrow while Young can.  Is Young going to be the best QB in this class in year 3?  I don't believe he will, but he is the best right now which is where the Panthers are at...right now.  And before anyone starts saying I'm a Bryce hater, I'm not, just because I don't' think he will be the best QB in the draft 3 years from now does not mean I don't think he will be good.  His ceiling is high but not as high as some of the other QB in this class, but they need time to develop as mentioned.

I’ve wanted CJ from m the beginning only because of durability concerns for Young but there is no doubt, on tape or elsewhere, Young is the better QB.  The best QB in this class.  I completely get why we are drafting him and I will fully support him as our QB.  The coaching staff is doing there job and taking the best QB, nothing more nothing less

I guess anything is possible!  I just hope he doesn’t win the ER sweepstakes

Watched about 13 minutes of this then stopped for a call, work sucks, but I was paying more attention to his feet and hips, the footwork is solid, and he is rotating his hips during the throw.  Lots to like about his throwing motion and mechanics.

Here‘s Burrow before his rookie season. Lots of body fat but he’s definitely trimmed down since then. 

Stroud looks like a guy you’d expect to look given his play style

Lots of body fat?!  I wish that was all the body fat I had!

B and if this is about Young the real issue isn't height, it frame and it could get really bad really quick with a sub par O line.  I would rather have someone that can take the hits they are going to get at the NFL level and stick around more than 4 or 5 years while also play in most of his games

I haven't seen anything regarding the Panthers and Hopkins.  Everything I'm seeing is the Patriots

I don't care how you get one, but you have to get a WR #1.

You can't draft a rookie QB 1st overall and pay an RB 6.5 million and not give your top pick a #1 WR.

I know we can't get a #1 for the same 6.5, but we could have used that plus a little more to have signed someone who could have fit the bill and then drafted an RB in the 3rd round to go along with a cheaper FA option.

Again, I like landing Sanders, behind our OL he should be real good, and I don't hate the contract as long as we get a #1 WR this year, if we don't, I'm not going to be so thrilled about it.

I keep seeing a few people say this and I disagree.  The number 1 thing you need for a young QB is a good Oline, check.  2.  A good run game, check 3.  A TE that can catch and block, we can now check that.  WR are great and all and I would love to have a number 1 but, look at KC, who was their number 1 receiver?  With 2 number 1 WR Hurst still was very respectable.  All over the league it's the same, we don't NEED a WR1 in the rookie QB's first year, we NEED players that are going to help build confidence while they are getting use to the speed of the game which typically doesn't equate to many scenarios where they sit in the pocket and wait for a 50 yard play to develop...that is year 3

Not to be a Debbie Downer but there’s some truth. Dalton, Hurst and Thielin and even Jamal Williams don’t make us close to a scary offense. None of them can be the guy who can still do a lot when the D focuses on them. No matter which FA WRs we sign, there’s no one who can go against the #1 CB or be the doubled guy and perform well. DJ wasn’t elite but no FA is close to him.

You might be right, no one of them can be but the D can't focus on all of them and they are serviceable, proven and a huge commodity for a QB, especially a rookie one

Can't complain about this, definitely better than what we currently have.  Nice free agency so far.

Nice indeed, looks like they are trying to put all the pieces in place for a rookie QB to be successful!  If it ended today this is one of the best offseason I can remember

I'd rather have this guy!

Another big miss in the offseason. Any GM with a 36 year old Dalton on their QB board should lose their job.

What on earth are you smoking?  This is an amazing signing given the situation we are in.  This guy has been around a long time, know what the means?  Means he knows how to take care of himself on and off the field, knows that a good routine means everything.  In other words knows what it takes to 1) Be a quarterback in this league and 2) Have a long term career.  All the things I which Cam would have had when he got here.  How can anyone be upset with this signing knowing we are about to draft a rookie QB.  The jump from college to pros is huge!  Not just in talent but MONEY / Problems / Fame.  Our young QB will need someone to help mold habits that not only allow him to be successful NFL QB but a successful long term NFL QB. 

Love this!  Perfect mentor for our young rookie QB!  Knows the ropes, knows his place, knows what he will be here to do!  No brainer!

On that front...

 

I actually like this idea alot.  Dalton has been around a long time has started and has been a backup.  If there is anyone out there that "knows his place" and would be a good mentor; it would be Andy Dalton

It's hard for me to judge WR in KC.  Seems like 90% of their plays are geared towards Kelce and the WR are there just to distract defenders 

Love this!  Panthers are doing work this offseason!  Is it bad that I have had more excitement for this team this offseason then I have the last 2 years of actual football?

Hope the people that wanted to give whatever it takes to get a QB is happy.  Stupid move, even worse with this draft class

Who's alt is this?

Not sure but I can't say he is entirely wrong either.  I don't know how they keep doing it but the Saints are in a much better spot than any other team in the NFC South, player wise, as we sit right now.  Young "might" be able to come in and play immediately but you have to wonder how long his frame will hold up.  The most gifted QB in the draft everyone agrees will need to sit at least a year.  Levis looks to me like Zack Willson of last year and Stroud will probably need some time on the bench as well.  Only one of them would I say lets throw them to the fire on day one and roll with them and for a QB he is small
