They can always draft another receiver and will keep adding to the group. There is no prototype for a #1 if that's what you are looking for.

I think they draft one in the next draft. I think who will make the selection is currently in doubt. I still say it will be Tepper and possibly a new GM and Coach.

They will trade him unless he has a miraculous turn around before the season is over. I put the odds of that at 1% as it stands right now.

There's no upside to any of the street FA'S. If there were they would already be employed. They are just younger without the nfl pedigree. I would not consider any of them as a reliable bridge to the future. Anyone they sign will not change the fortunes of this team. They are going to have to draft their way out of this.

I think Young is done here. They may play him the rest of the way but even that will depend on if Andy even wants to start again. I get the impression he would rather sit this season out if the choice was his to make. But Young will be shipped as soon as they have a better replacement.

I'm not seeing one yet. Or should I say I have not seen a clear cut stand out to say yeah that guy is the best of the class. It looks like a few late 1st guys and a bunch of 2nd rounders then a mixed bag after that.

I would feel better if the Panthers ended up in the 2nd or 3rd slot myself. But Tepper is going to Tepper this thing so it doesn't really matter what I think. I'm just an observer.

I'm telling you that any qb taken 1st overall will be over drafted. So far this entire class is underwhelming.

I thought the goal was not to continue this mess. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Right?

I'm not sold on him either. On top of that his dad is toxic and I do not want him anywhere near Tepper. If you think it's a circus now you haven't seen anything until you have Dion in Teppers ear influencing his decisions.

Other than being only a backup that has only 1 game in him a season? No, he seems to be a pretty good dude.

If he did maybe that was why he didn't get the job.

He will not have all that time to stand in the pocket and find wide open receivers in the nfl. I need to see him under pressure before I'm a believer that he has what it takes in the nfl. I still say there's not a qb in this draft worth the first overall pick.

Maybe I misunderstood your post as thinking Wilks would have chosen a different qb. My point was that Wilks would have not gotten who he really wanted either. That's my point. Maybe I shouldn't have had that last White Russian.

No, I'm saying you're wrong. Bryce was going to be the pick as soon as they traded for the 1st pick. It was decided before the combine. It took a while for Frank to accept his fate so he decided to go along. Wilks would have suffered the same fate.

If someone calls with a ridiculous offer I would listen but otherwise I'm not looking to trade down. Take the best available and call it a night.

Tepper was picking the qb regardless of who the coach was. If you think Wilks was changing that you are sadly mistaken my friend.

BPA. Don't overthink it.

It's because Winston will only get your team through half the season at most before you have to bench him. You cannot sign him thinking he's a 2 year bridge qb. As a backup? Sure, but if your plan is to start him for a couple of years I doubt you survive as a head coach long enough to see year 2 of your contract.

Dint worry Winston is still Winston. Give him another game or 2 and you will see it.

Not if there are better options available. They will be forced to sign a FA to hold the spot until they decide who is going to replace Bryce. But don't expect someone that will turn this mess into a playoff team all by themselves. They are still cap strapped and will have to draft their way our of this. It will be 2 more years before this team is competitive even if they do everything right going forward. How much faith do you have of that happening?

I'm not ready to break out the pitchforks yet. This trade is certainly not a reason to call for them. Calm down and save your anger for something that sets the team back a few years at least.

In the end that's what happened. They got a 5th round pick and had to give up a 6th and $9M to rent Diontae for 7 games.

It appears Canales is not ready to make that switch just yet. I think it's going to take an injury for that to happen. I agree that it couldn't possibly be worse but I think Canales feels differently.
