This is exactly what I said. This would be the perfect opener for us in our quest to land Lawrence!

Crush the spirit of the team so they don’t recover and end up with the first pick? That’s one strategy lol

Getting beat down by the defending SB champs in the season opener on prime time TV would certainly not be a ceremonious start to the Rhule era.

This defense is going to take a long time to gel. Mahomes and company would put up video game numbers facing us in week one.

Or pull an upset win and watch the TL fanboys go into full meltdown mode.

So we can instead suck for the foreseeable future instead of just a year?

You’d think by now this fanbase would realize the importance of having a good QB

Yep, some of us do realize the importance of a good QB.  You just don't need the #1 overall pick to accomplish that.

I can’t see it happening. Why would the NFL feature the panthers and not the Bucs or SF ? Panthers aren’t exactly expected to be competitive this year .

We’re an easy layup for the new golden boy. Don’t want them to face a team that might sneak a win in week 1. Would upset the narrative.

I won’t argue that at all and I know you follow the draft so outside of Lance and Fields (I feel like Fields still needs a lot more developing to do) who do you view as a good QB? 

I’m not a huge fan of next years class outside of Lance, Trevor and Justin

It’s one thing to sit here and say “well Mahomes, Watson and Wilson didn’t go first overall so we don’t need 1st pick” but you people need to start providing names. Tanner Morgan? No. Sam Ehlinger? No. Brock Purdy? No. Jamie Newman? Meh

At least those 3 in the top 10 and I will reserve judgement until (if) the season is played.  There is always 1-3 second day QBs that get hot after the combine and inevitably wind up in the 1st round. Not every team in the top 10 will be needing a QB; many of the "regular" bottom dwellers have their franchise QB for now.  

It's early, but I can see Purdy, Newman and possibly another getting into the back half of round 1.  I have looked at #1 over picks at QB that have won Super Bowls and only 4 have done it in the past 30 years.

1st pick overall just gives you the opportunity to take YOUR guy. 

Like I said, I’m cool with all 3 but prefer the TL’s over Fields. I just want the 1st pick so they can decide who it is they want and not let other teams dictate who’s left for us. 

The Chargers let Miami decide for them this year. Before people tee off on the Hurney jokes, I still rather see Carolina be in position to decide for themselves.

Jacksonville, Washington and Detroit would all take QB’s. I think all 3 of them will be in the mix for top pick as well.

Yeah, I kinda was working on that.  I jotted down a simple chart on paper of teams that likely will be in the QB market next year, but with the criteria of a probable top 10 pick and definitely taking a QB with their top pick.  I came up with two teams (besides the Panthers) the Jags and Bears.  I got possibles for the Skins and Lions.  Are the Lions really ready to move on from Stafford?  The Skins are giving up on Haskins really soon and I don't know if Rivera would want to go through rookie growing pains again.

I live in KC and, if true, this might make it the first Panthers game I don't make it to here in town. There've only been 4 of them over the years, including the preseason game in 1997, but if that's the case the prices will be exorbitant. My brother lives in Denver and when we were talking about the season opener in '16 the tickets were like $600 each.

Tickets here in clt are like $50 and that’s too much for me to have to sit 4 qts in the hot heat just to see a loss

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
