I mean I love that BY was not included... but I would imagine the reason is more that no one cares about Carolina Panthers football and you need to get clicks. PS - I also dont think Young is a bust

XL I dont even think he gets a full season. He's almost in a moment to moment tryout, post training camp. If he does his 'jumping out of bounds' catch again, I think the team calls him an Uber.

I was meaning TEAM greats.

Offseason chat... Who on our team right now will be still talking about in 10 years from now as an time panther? Im going with Moehrig

I also didnt think that Tepper was too involved. I think he liked to be engaged in the process but never did he seem to influence anything. If Im an owner Im in the draft room as well. Hell I get excited about draft season in Madden if I can do it in real life....

I also think this is exactly how you use analytics. They spent a lot of time talking about how there was a 45%, 90%, 17% percent chance a certain player would fall to them and used that knowledge to plan who they wanted to pick. They did not use analytics to draft a 'super sleeper with traits'. Watching the last few of these with DM at the helm, I think they know what a football player looks like and use their analytics to help prepare draft strategy. Im very high on this FO group.

I dont want to read into this too much but I think this might confirm that we are done with Icky. If you are targeting a LT and not just surprised that one fell to you, then you have to be looking at that long term. From a team POV its not bad. They got a long term LT. Let Icky walk and likely get a 3rd round pick back and a better cap situation.

I mean people will probably not like this comparison... but Brooks looks like a (20lb lighter) version of JStew..

I appreciate that there are people on this board that look beyond the headline.. I feel like we have a bunch of these things where people forget the context of the decision, IE why we cut Cam...

TBH Im super pumped for Brooks.

Bunch of hateful fugs a lot of you are.

I think we are speaking past each other here. Im not calling BY Elite. He's not. What I am saying is that its a complete lottery to draft an elite QB. In BY's draft the Texans forums are all basically saying the same thing we are about giving a contract extension. AR15 might not make a roster this year. Trever Lawrence was supposed to be the best QB prospect ever and is not close. Burrow is good but is he elite? Kyler, Baker? Even in your example above. Hurts is not what I would consider elite either. My point is that its really hard to get a guy like Josh Allen or Matthew Stafford. So you have to work with what you have.

The extreme of what you are asking for is drafting a QB 1st round every year looking to find the guy. That doesnt work.

I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those.

I mean I suppose there are a few theories of what to do at that position. I read somewhere that you should draft a QB every year.. just to see if you have the next guy. Initially I really liked our approach of bringing in high upside guys, like Teddy, Sam and Baker. And at the time I was more than willing to toss them aside for the next guy - cause the position is too important. But this also has shown me that sometimes you need more time to develop and now looking at those guys on others teams is painful
