Like a bunch of people on their first camping trip, we're reacting to every bump, chirp, snap and rustle that happens in the night. 

Just relax, wait it out, just 8 more days and we'll know for certain what the Panthers will do. Until then, this is just people taking the slightest rumor or hint and running with it.

We fall for this crap every season.

I have no idea what they believe. I do know that if Darnold predictably doesn't work out and we make no further moves to hedge our bets at QB, then my confidence in Rhule's ability to identify QB talent is officially at zero.

Head coach and GM both watched his entire career on film, then chose to trade three picks for him including a second rounder, and you think they're just throwing darts at a dart board because...you don't think he's good?

Come on, man.

History also says 3 of the top 5 qbs will bust

Yeah, honestly I do. They were desperate to move on from their last mistake so they're going to roll the dice on another subpar option but one with a higher level of physical talent this time given that was an Achilles heel of the last one that failed. A future 6th rounder and a 2nd and 4th next year is a relatively paltry investment in the QB position. It's not like we traded three firsts.

Yes, this 100% feels like throwing a dart at the board.

I'm gonna kinda guess they disagree.

They disagreed with Teddy too. I kinda think they might not know what they're doing in terms of addressing the QB position. The reality that they traded for pretty much the polar opposite prospect to the FA bust they signed last year strongly indicates that IMO.

Very possible. But the odds are even higher for a guy who has already busted.

Due to his circumstances and all the data that is backing that up, I am not ready to call SD a bust yet but I get why some do.  Me personally I think Darnold is perfect for brady.  He isnt scared to take massive shots downfield and he isnt like Teddy and just play check down all the time.  He wants to push the ball.  I know I am overly optimistic but as I stand right now I probably prefer SD over Lance.  And I want a left tackle so bad it hurts.

Yeah, Gase is trash and the Jets didn't have a good situation (no highly drafted players goes into a good situation) but it's really not up for debate on whether or not Darnold was a bust for the Jets. He was.

I think the Panthers will be staying put at No. 8 overall at this point, taking an offensive lineman unless they get an offer to good to refuse.

The  Falcons, who are currently slated at No. 4 overall, are another team that could trade down come draft night.

If not, the Panthers might be the next team quarterback-needy franchises approach with a trade offer.

      If Bryce doesn’t produce, we moving on?

      By CRA · Posted

      it gets really weird.  But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers.   I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.

      Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB:  Can we say we improved here?  Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection.  WASH RB:  Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade.  UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas.  Tremble and Sanders should improve.   UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go.  WASH OG:  No changes WASH C  : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get.  Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good).  XL and Coker will improve.  Lots to like.  UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB.  We did.  I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge:  Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.  Strong room.  Biggest Need.  UPGRADE DL:  We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing.  Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades.  Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have.  UPGRADE LB:  We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition.  I think we will add an UDFA.  I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play.  SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons.  We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team.  WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth.  I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties.  We upgraded them all.  I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams:  Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS.  THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and  5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety)  THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season.  I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.

      2025 Panthers Draft Class - Overview

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.
