I am just saying there is a chance.  Lance is a good 2-3 years away from being a quality starter if that.  I like the dude but I am going to trust the staffs judgement.  He is 20.  Played in just a handful of games and that obviously was at the fcs level.   I am just saying it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see them pass on lance at 8.  

Only 2-3 years away if the coaching staff put training wheels on him i.e. being Captain Clipboard.  He only needs to sit a half season or one full season max. Being 3-years out is only if a staff puts him on that time table.

Trey is more athletically gifted, hands down.  Yes, both need to work on their mechanics, but Lance's upside is much higher than Darnolds.

Get back to me when Lance scores a TD on a 50 yard scramble in the NFL.

Not gonna happen. Athletically, I think he's pretty much a slightly bigger Deshaun Watson. Josh Allen would be a decent athletic comp too IMO. Definitely a plus athlete at the QB position, but anyone expecting Cam or Vick or Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray is gonna be sorely disappointed.

Oh well then. Darnold has done that - so I guess he's a better athlete than Lance, right?

Yeah, he isn't. One lightning in a bottle play doesn't make an athlete. The odds of Darnold pulling off that run was next to zero. The odds of him replicating it again probably are zero.

We get it, man. You're happy with a JAG QB and don't want to take a chance on getting better.

About the same as putting premium in a Ferrari with no wheels.

Darnold would be better than Bridgewater.

I'm not happy with investing the #8 pick + probably something else on the 4th QB in the Draft (I'm just not sold on Fields or Lance). I'd much rather spend it on a player that's going to improve the team - and keep that other pick to spend on another player that improves the team.

The 4th QB picked wouldn't necessarily be the 4th QB on our draft board and the 4th QB picked in this draft class very well could be the 1st or 2nd QB drafted in a lot of other draft classes.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
