Panthers Met with Kenny Pickett. Also Jimmy G wants to go to a Winning team

[bobcat91]

No to Garopollo. He's just not a good NFL QB. I do like Pickett a lot but we need to fix the line. My preference is an LT, but if we move back a few and get the Iowa Center plus a second, I could live with that.

That would take our #1 for 2023.  So a hard hell no

To get into the second? Nah, package a player or two and it's all good.

Jimmy G would die here.  Teams can win with him but we are not on that list.

[MHS831]

Does Jimmy G realize that most winning teams don't need an average QB?

It SEEMS Pickett to Carolina is all but done. As others have said, Rhule seems to love the kid. I can’t remember the quote but he talked about drafting QBs and their bust rate. It wouldn’t make sense to me that he’d hitch his wagon to Pickett while passing on trading up for Herbert or drafting Fields/Jones. He has chosen Bridgewater and Darnol, so maybe it does make sense. Just not in the positive sense.

I’d rather trade back into the teens for more picks and take Howell

Remember, this is our coach. It won’t matter who the QB is. 4 to 6 wins next season is the ceiling.

They also met with Willis on the same day if that makes anyone feel better. Hopefully McAdoo will get some input. He loves the high potential guys.

I still think its pickett at 6.

As usual this time of year, some of you act like franchise QBs fall off trees, and in some sense you act like these guys are interchangeable. They're not. Sure, you can play games and risk that someone else will swoosh in and choose your guy out from under you, but I would say in general that if you think that a particular guy is a legit franchise QB, you go get him, regardless of the pick.

Draft an OT at #6 and try like heck to get Stronger at QB by moving back up into the second and drafting Carson Strong. 

Last draft I advocated for us picking Parsons/Pitts in the first and Kyle Trask in the second. I hope they'd look back at how that would have been a damn good draft decision.

Again, Hog Mollie Olineman in the first, try like heck to get into the second round for a QB with a Strong arm. Strong.

QBs drafted outside of the 1st round have a 90% bust rate. 

Considering we’d be trading our #6 pick or a player to get back into the 2nd, we can’t afford a risk like that this year.

He’s confident, yet grounded, self-aware and calm. Willis possesses similar traits to his hometown hero Cam Newton.

“I went to the same high school (as him). I went to Wesleyan for three years. He would always drop in and stuff,” Willis said. “I played for his seven-on-seven team. He always gave me a little affirmation that I could keep for the rest of my life. He has definitely been a big part of this.”
 

nice.

Well on the one hand giving out the #1 jersey again so soon would be seen as disrespectful, on the other hand, an ongoing icon of the Panthers starting QB always wearing the #1 jersey would be a brand and would keep every loser college linebacker or wide receiver from constantly wanting to wear that number specifically would just be icing

[TheRumGone]

If we draft Pickett over Malik it will be a mistake. So the panthers probably will.
