Tanking does not guarantee a good QB

And you made the point of not tanking for a QB.  We drafted Horn in 2021 who at this point is better than any of the QBs in that draft.

I think we agree?? Lol.. it’s way too early to know where we we will be in the draft of course!! The way early qb hype is crazy.. my buddy is a Florida Gator fanatic!! Asked him about Richardson.. he was like nahhh!! And he doesn’t like talking down about his team.. seen early mocks for him to Panthers.. it’s a crap shoot

Nothing guarantees a good QB

But if you have a shot at getting a good QB you take it and live with the consequences lol.

Over half this board wouldn't want Allen if he were in this years draft, rightfully so because none of us knew his intangibles, work ethic and desire to win and get better.

Truth of the matter is with QB you just keep swinging until you get it right.

Most QBs taken high in the last 10 years have been busts. Just play for the wins. 

True, but does not change the fact that the further back you go in the draft, the worse and worse your odds get of obtaining a quality qb. Just because the odds are not great drafting top ten does not mean they're not still better than the horribad odds of anything outside round 1.

The bottom line is quality qb's dont grow on trees.

If you think about the fact there are generally single digit quality qb's (qb's that give your team an above average chance to win) in the league at any one time, and the ones that do generally have careers spanning over a decade, it's pretty easy to see that on average each draft produces one quality qb or less.

Yet most drafts have at least half a dozen prospects touted as good to great prospects at the position. The reality is this is media hypebullshit. Look at the results, not the hype. Also look at the fact most of these quality qb's do indeed get drafted in round one.

That's literally one draft class, and lbr that's only because Fields and Jones were left. I love Horn but it'd be stupid to take him if Lawrence or Wilson were on the board given what we had at QB.

It's not even just the fact that "Haha QB if you get the #1 pick", even last year i'd say take Hutchins or trade down if we had #1 even with all our QB problems, but the fact that it is literally our weakest position and there's good prospects thereat the top of the draft.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      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.
