We have been hearing for years how its all about building around a qb on a rookie contract, but how many superbowls have been won by a qb on a rookie contract in the last twenty years? Last one I can think of seahwaks with Wilson? 

 Because Brady won all of them

Other than the Ravens which team with a young QB is a real power? The Chiefs maybe but their defense is worse than ours.

The other top teams have Brees, Brady, and Wilson..

Yeah I was trying to figure out what he’s talking about...the Texans are a playoff team with Deshaun Watson too I guess? Definitely not a threat to win it all though.

I'd add Houston with Watson, the Colts if Brissett is healthy, Cowboys, Rams, Philly, and maybe Jacksonville if you consider Minshew a starter or not.

Granted, some of those already paid their QB.

I dont think anything is significantly different about that mix.  Some good teams but not really contenders.

I think this year we will see a bit of a changing of the times from the legacies in the last 10 years tbh. Right now you are right that these aren't the best teams in the league, but I'd consider any team that gets to the playoffs to be considered a contender in the NFL. The only real team without a shot at the playoffs here is Jacksonville.

He looks very inconsistent. I think if a talent like Tua falls to us we take it. If not we see how Cam’s health is. If that looks bad we might have Allen and Grier battle it out... Maybe his inconsistencies can be fixed? Who knows?

It is called growing pains.  Even a Troy Aikman had them his first year.  How many games did he win that first year?

Quickest way to contender status is hitting on a young QB.

Comparing us to Saints or Patriots is meaningless because they've had their QB for a very long time.  Those teams are also stacked.

 

Our situation is either take another shot with Cam or get moving on rebuilding.  Yepper already alluded he doesn't want long term mediocrity.  Maybe that means cutting Cam now.

A young, good, cheap QB provides you with the easiest path to being a good team.

As I pointed out in another thread, if Cam gets a deal to stay here he will average about 30M per season, if we are able to draft Tua at around 15, we will pay him 3-4M per season, giving us 25+M to help build around him, every season until year 5.

Does that guarantee you a SB?  No.  Does it give you the best shot at building a contender?  Yes, if you have the correct front office and coaching staff.

It's the bs I knew would eventually take hold. Teams like the 49ers, Colts, Rams or Browns (lol) intentionally tank for 4 years and gather carry over cap space and top 10 draft talent. Get top talent on rookie deals then once your QB is in place spend that carry over space on free agents and keeping your young talent. 

The NFL needs to make the max carry over space $10 million or less.

      As fans have we unanimously concluded that Bryce Young IS THE PROBLEM

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      If my reply comes off argumentative, that is not my intention so please don’t take it as such.  You said one word, probably subconsciously, in your post that immediately disqualifies him from being a QB in the NFL. You actually said it twice. Kid. It’s exactly how you see him, and exactly how the rest of the entire NFL sees him as well.  Yes, he is a kid, he looks and acts like a kid and that exactly IS the problem. The NFL is for grown ass men. Period. Hell, our kicker looks like he collects ‘taxes’ as a side hustle. These are straight dudes. Men.  Nothing in his persona changed from last year to this.  Nothing in his physical stature. Nothing. He has shown 0 development. 0. And he disrespects the entire organization, talking video games and Netflix in the offseason. Bro. Really. My man Chuba is busting his ass to look good for his second contract. Set himself up for life. How many RBs make it to even sign contract #3? First 2 games he has to run in to a brick wall continuously because Netflix can’t even get it over the LOS.  He’s a kid who pulled off the biggest heist in world history. He looks happier on the sideline goofing around than he ever has looked on the field. It’s time to cut bait.

      I hear you and I can imagine it's frustrating as a fan, but UNC-CH leaving the ACC would be throwing away over a century of history. It would really suck if y'all, or Clemson, or any of the other remaining charter members leave. I still think it sucks that Maryland left as well. Feels so wrong not having that rivalry anymore. Maryland fuging hated us and I loved it. Who's Maryland's rival now in the big 10? Rutgers? lol. Also, I think that the Heels are more likely to be Kentucky 2.0 than you are to get serious about football upon joining the SEC. Both UNC (and also Duke's) administrations seem very stuck in their ways with sticking to their ways and remaining basketball powerhouses. I do wish we could see NC teams actually competing in my favorite sport sometimes but alas. I personally value keeping our history intact over trying to become top flight CFB programs because nowadays it's just a pay to win sport anyways. Even if UNC-CH got serious I doubt they could compete with that Texas oil money, or that Oregon nike money, or that USC rich kid money. That's all top level college football really is anymore. You're either an established blue blood or you're willing to waste tons of money that could be spent on education rather than football.

      Maybe a move to the SEC forces UNC to be more serious about football?   I mean we should be making noise in the weak ACC and we can't even do that. How is Duke better than UNC in football right now? It's honestly sad and pathetic.   It doesn't matter if we get another great QB as you said a QB doesn't mean you have a great roster. A QB can only do so much. We lack elite guys in the trenches. That's how you build a program. It starts up front.
