Coaches spent all week talking about how good Jones and the other QBs were, then after the game they're like... nah, we're not hot on any of them being first rounders.

We'll have Jones in the first or the second.

"Now Mac, that ankle looks pretty bad to me. Maybe you'd better sit this thing out."

"Nah, Coach Rhule, I'm fine. Look I can run, I can pivot, I can push off and I can plant, no problem."

"Mac, just sit there, look disappointed and try to look like an optimistic bust every time the camera pans to you."

"And with the eighth pick of the 2021 NFL draft, the Panthers pick Mac Jones, QB, Alabama."

"Told ya kid, we'd take care of you."

Just like at any other level of football, you do what it takes to win, and running down someone's throat is preferable every single time!

Stop with the bullshit narrative about people getting defensive. It's not true. Lance is just a prospect like all the other ones. He will get his knocks just like everyone else not named Trevor. Analysis and criticism are all a part of the process, but you seem to take offense every time someone points out counterarguments to prospects that you don't want. Your go-to argument is that some message boarders are being "defensive", but you're the one who is low-key getting the attitude. I'll say what I said the last time you accused me of being defensive: Some of you are going to rue the day that you talked poo about Trey Lance. And, I stand behind what I said. If he busts, I'll be the first to admit it. But, when he turns out to be special, I won't even have to say "I told you so", because you'll know.

For the record, I'll be content to get a potential starter. Sure, I think Lance has the highest upside, and I doubt that he's going to bust, but if we pick Wilson, Fields, or even Jones, I will trust that Rhule and company know what they're looking for and be hopeful that it all works out. Even if we don't pick a QB, I know that we will acquire one relatively soon (before Teddy's contract is up). 

You are being ultra sensitive today. You literally made up a fake argument where I said Trey Lance can’t throw. Going to rue the day we critiqued Trey Lance? What kind of idiocy is that? Is he going to hurt me or my family? Are you? What a joke lol

Your modus operandi is tiresome and tired! You have already said that you didn't want Lance. Yes, you have! You've also said that his coaches "limited" his throws and "avoided" throwing the ball, intimating that Lance was the issue! You've made a dishonest and/or disingenuous leap based solely upon Lance's lack of throws (as you see it)! Every time I counter your bullshit, you accused me of being sensitive or defensive (which is ludicrous, I might add) when it's you who are the one being sensitive. Chill out a little bit! Don't be so sensitive when someone counters your argument!

You haven’t countered anything I’ve written. Something is going on with you today. I have said I didn’t want Lance. That’s correct. I’ve never claimed I didn’t say that. This is the case of you making up arguments I’m not making. He’s not my first choice. I’ve also said I completely understand why the Panthers would take him. YES I HAVE!! I’ve also said I’d support him if he was the pick. YES I HAVE!!

 

I hope your day gets better.

I hope Joe is right here, Rhule is a lair and this could be one of his lies.

 

@Varking how DARE you say the lord and savior Trey"18 times superbowl MVP" lance can't throw, shame on YOUU!!1!1!!!

He came out of the woodworks with tears already in his eyes and has gotten super offended over my opinion. I didn’t even say he couldn’t throw. I pointed out he is thousands of reps and reads behind these other guys and it’s going to take him time to get it. This triggered something deep in his soul.

Like I said: I reject your boom-or-bust narrative in regards to Lance! I reject your intimations that coaches purposefully limited his throws! Moreover, if you "don't want Lance", he's obviously not your first choice or any choice, do don't try and hedge now.  Live by what you said!

Your deflection is ludicrous! You're a pretty bad comic or just delusional if you actually believe that I am offended by a disagreement of opinion about a football player or football team. I reject your boom-or-bust narrative in reference to Lance, period! Sorry (not sorry) you don't like that! 

I hope your night gets better.

I’ve literally told you what I’ve said. And I stand by it. I don’t want him. That doesn’t mean I can’t see why he’s coveted. It doesn’t mean I wouldn’t cheer for him. You’re the one dramatizing this whole thing. “YE SHALL RUE THE DAY!!!”

Well, that really was dramatic!

    • Mel Kiper gave a C. Can't believe ESPN thinks he's a draft savant.
    • SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-
    • The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
