Life without DW4

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

With the chances we land DW4 seemingly dropping, the conversation is starting to shift to what the Panthers should do next if we inevitably dont land Watson. 
 

This is a combo of Willis/Pickett at 6…meh 

Giving up assets and money for baker…super gross 

Giving up assets and money for Jimmy G….vomit inducing 

my humble plan would be the following:

 

-if Neal/ickey fall to 6 (unlikely) you take them 

-if neither of the above are there you trade back and aquire as many assets possible for ‘23 

-move Robby for the best ‘23 pick you can get 

-continue to build the OL/DL through Free agency and draft this season. 

-sign Mariota/Jameis on a cheap 1 year deal 

Combine all acquired assets in ‘23 and move on Bryce Young or CJ stroud who are objectively both better than any of the prospects in this years class. 
 

Rhule will do what Rhule does this season and end up out the door. You now have assets and a foundation in line for the next coach handpicked by Fittz and Dan.

my plan For making the Panthers watchable again!!!

Not giving up on DW yet....

But, I think signing Winston or Mariotta makes the most sense unless we fall in love with a QB in the draft.  I do like Pickett, and think a rookie would generate some excitement for the fan base.  But we would need to shore up the LG and C spots as well as MLB prior to the draft in order to take a QB at 6.

People say this years class is poo but want the Bama QB after absolutely eviscorating Mac Jones for months

Bryce is a significantly better prospect than Mac

I guess Mac Jones was just a skinny white dude that had a dad bod at age 21? But all he did was win and make throws! I guess that was only because of the talent around him? But, Bryce Young doesn't have good talent?

We have zilch between pick 6 and the 4th round. If we don’t sign anyone we need to trade down, acquire picks, draft the best O lineman and Sam Howell and prepare for the departure of Rhule in 2023.

If we dont land watson I hope we stick to the plan.

- Fix the oline. 

- Let Darnold play out his last year

- Draft a QB next year. 

2023 BABY!!!

What I see in Bryce is a skinnier, slower version of Kyler Murray. I don't question his skills but I do question his ability to physically withstand the punishment the NFL game dishes out.

While I was the conductor on the tank for Trevor train and I agree with your premise, the two things above conflict. If you want to make a run at a QB, we need losses. You don’t want a vet bridge QB to limp along, you pick your Jimmy Clausen and run. I’m think Sam is that guy or maybe Walker.

It still saddens me that we wasted all that cap and picks on Teddy and Sam when in 2020 we had the Will Grier express to take us to the promised land and at worst we got the bounty of picks from SF. Would have made getting Watson easy peasy.

I’m not necessarily saying tank. The chiefs(Pat)  rams(Goff) eagles(wentz) all gave a load up to move up and get their guys from deeper in the first round. We would prbly be giving up way less than we are willing to right now with Watson. 
 

I say sign Marcus or Jameis because you know Rhule knows he is a lame duck and isn’t gonna ride with Sam either way.

People play favorites too much based on their favorite college it's why you can't have a basic fact based talk about quarterbacks here.

That’s a fair assessment. He just has ridiculous arm talent and is extremely cerebral. Playing under BoB he’s seen a high level system.

Yup. IMO this is what it would have to be. Stand by…pick up assets by trading CMC, Robbie, maybe DJ. Try to keep the defense together so it doesn’t need work. Build the OL. Draft the QB of the future in 2023. Fire Rhule after we have the worst record in the league. Start over.

LoL when did I say Bryce didn’t have talent around him? And bama and osu are no where near my favorite team I despise both.

Count me out on Bama's 5'11'' midget QB. Bust in waiting.
