It's why I was advocating for just sticking with Rhule through the season. Once we didn't fire him after his second season like we should have, we should've just seen our mistake through so that we could harvest the fruits of our mistake. We definitely have a top 5 pick if Rhule hadn't been fired. Potentially top 3.

Hopefully he goes back to covering the Panthers from the outside. You're always just going to get the company line from folks who actually work directly for the team and honestly understandably so. They're literally getting paid to deliver the company line.
-
And next year it'll be another guy or two who isn't draft eligible yet who will be better in their eyes than Williams or Maye and we'll need to wait on them. Ad infinitum.
-
Next year's class is always better for the "just wait" crowd. They probably wanted to pass on Cam in 2011 to wait on Luck in 2012.
-
If they're the level of prospects people think they are then the only way to land one will be to suck your way into a top two pick because Amy team that does won't be trading out of it.
-
If you're sitting at #3, that's still two chances for your guy to be drafted. Better be a situation where you'd be thrilled to have any of the top 3 at #3 and I just don't know how good the chances are if that being the case.
-
I fully expect a decision to be made this off-season that will determine whether there's a new era of Panthers success on the horizon or the period of flailing will be extended a few more years. We shall see. I sure hope we get it right because I for one am really tired and frustrated with the flailing.

Yeah, I'm not trying to act like Derek Carr is a HOFer or anything, but as of right now he stands head and shoulders as the best QB in the NFC South.
-
Guess who disagrees with you? The Panthers brass. We were interested in Carr for a reason.
-
We've all been saying that the NFC South team that lands a legit QB is poised to own the division for the foreseeable future. Well, the Saints just did that. Folks, we just got a guarantee that we're gonna do something very bold (and hopefully not very stupid) in the draft.

(Non-QB) Player You Want the Most in the Draft
LinvilleGorge replied to bLACKpANTHER's topic in Carolina Panthers
One of the top TEs. This is the strongest TE class I can remember. Our TE group might be the worst in the league. We gotta come out of the draft with one of them. I'm kind of on them like I am on the top three QBs. I'm not super tied to any one of them in particular. I expect Mayer to go well before #39 so he's out, but I expect a very good one to be there at #39 and I'd probably have the plan to go TE with that pick.- 34 replies

Ryan Poles trying to drive up the cost of the #1 pick
LinvilleGorge replied to NAS's topic in Carolina Panthers
If we're talking about risk, THAT would be the biggest risk a team could take in this draft. You have a young guy who has shown promise despite being surrounded by nothing. If you move him to take another QB you damn well better be right because if you draft a bust and Fields goes on to flourish elsewhere you're now officially the biggest jackass in sports. -

If he's a bust you probably get fired in two years. If you fail to land one you probably get fired after this year. -

The thing about those generational prospects is there's no trading for them. The team that lands #1 takes the guy. -

I'm not saying that. I'm saying we should consider all possibilities. Hell, I've said numerous times that if multiple future 1sts are involved that makes me hesitant as hell. Some of y'all just formulate an opinion, dig in, and start slinging grenades. LOL! I don't think Tepper is on the mood for the "wait another year" plan. What do you do next year if you're in the same position? Comes a point when you run out of years to wait because you've gotten yourself fired for waiting. -

You're talking in absolutes about draft prospects. That's the #1 fallacy of any draft conversation. -

Of course I know it's a huge risk. Who doesn't realize this? You know what else is a huge risk if you're Fitts? Sitting at #9. Sit at #9 and end up having to reach on say your #4 QB and if he flounders you're probably fired. The Panthers are operating like they fully plan on this being out last top 10 pick for awhile. -
We'll see. It's a funky year because last year's QB class was perceived as weak and the QBs were pushed down the board. Feels like the entire league is working under the premise that Maye and Williams are the top two picks next year and there won't be any trading for those picks. So that leaves everyone chomping at the bit this year.

But put yourself in Fitts' shoes. You have an owner desperate for a franchise QB. He's run out of patience waiting. If you sit there at #9 and a QB doesn't fall and you have to go into the season with another mediocre vet retread or a third tier rookie or Matt Corral at QB, you're a walking dead man. You're as good as fired. Make a bold move for a QB and you've at least bought yourself time. The time is now. Everyone feels it.- 129 replies

As he should. He has the golden ticket. If he gives it to you, you can save football in *insert flailing NFL city here*.
