I think the Minnesota game was the straw that broke the camel's back with Rhule this season and the fact that Teddy tried to deflect blame for missing Moore wide open in the end zone.

Agreed. That seemed to be the turning point between talking Teddy up as a "franchise QB" and starting to be more open about their frustrations with the QB position.

We don't make a move for Watson/Stafford.

Then, and some mocks show it, Trevor, Fields, Wilson and Lance all go before #8. 

Matt Rhule drafts Mac at #8 after getting to know him at the Senior Bowl so well. 

Jones is someone he unsuccessfully tried to recruit to Baylor so he was already somewhat aware of him.

I don't know that I see us taking him at pick eight, though I acknowledge it is a possibility. Taking him after a trade down is also possible.

Even the #3 pick is pretty much a no-go.  The value of the QB class is so high this year that even the value chart isn't as accurate as it would be in a normal year.  Basically, the best we can hope for in terms of trade up would be 5 or 6 without completely gutting our draft.

my issue would only be Mac at #8 and why it is my fear.   Teams might a lot of dumb moves when it comes to QBs....especially QB needed teams.  GM/Owner/HC are still all unknowns IMO in terms of drafting/decision making.   

I think there are places in the draft where he could be a good value.

Well if that's the case I trust Rhule and Fitterer's judgements way more than I trust anyone on here

yeah, #4 seems to be as high as you could go.  But like you said, the chart is probably to conservative given the QB heaviness of this draft.

I'm just saying our entire FO are unknowns.  Not saying they shouldn't be trusted.  We have had 1 draft with Rhule and Tepper together.  That's it.  Fitterer a total unknown now coming in.    

Just in terms of playing the fun guessing game.  It is really hard given they have virtually no history to really guess off of.   Since they don't have an established way of doing things and behaving.

 Bingo 

mine as well 

I was wrong about Justin Herbert and that’s who we should have moved up one spot to get and while I do not believe Jones is close to Herbert in any category, he us going to be the picK if things fall as predicted 

the panthers May trade back two or three doors to get him and get more picks 

Rhule scares me, after all Teddy would not have been here if Rhule didn’t approve and then there us the Dwayne Haskins futures offer

Voth...

Also when trailing at the half...

That is eye opening. Knowing that your QB can bring you back in the game is huge. If the players on the team don’t have that confidence that you can come back when you are down, it can become contagious when you face adversity. Last season alone we had the chance to have a winning season by coming back in one score games.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
