We passed on Fields, so would anyone be completely stunned if we passed on the 2023 QBs? Especially if we drop too far down the draft and can't reach CJ and Young. We may very well not even draft a QB and roll with Corral and some new vet. Not what I want, but we have dangerously winnable games against NFCS teams on the schedule.

Hype is what destroys a class.  I think some front offices get caught up in the hype as well.   You here these talking heads going round and round about how great this or that QB is, and owners buying into it and gets the GM to select him.  IMO. if you do your homework, you'll find the right QB, regardless, of draft position. 

I have my opinions about Stroud, Young and the rest of the class.  But to be honest, I'm not an expert and hopefully Fitterer does his homework and if we select a QB I'll be onboard with whoever we choose.

Corral, IMO, was a Fitterer choice.  Obviously, it wasn't Rhule who chose him and he definitely wasn't going to groom him.  The biggest decision Fitterer has to make is, are any of these QBs in this class leaps and bounds better than Corral.  I know the haters are already itching to reply that he sucks.   I take them with a grain of salt because they have no idea one way or the other.  I am sure that they'll consider it greatly when a player we really need is on the board at our pick.  His injury, from what I have heard, was a freak accident caused by a terrible offensive line made up of a bunch of players trying to keep their dream alive.  Our beloved Corral haters will say "he looked horrible in preseason".  Fitterer knows the situation and will make the right call.

Just be prepared for a meltdown if we go in a different direction than QB.  It will be epic. 

I calculate an extreme meltdown this draft because there really isn't anybody head and shoulders above Corral.

His performance and combined stats compare favorably.

Maye is the real deal. He looked great when Longo had to actually start trying to score. Don't let a Shula level OC fool you.

Not sold on Maye yet at all.  He hasn’t handled blitzes well and he has good not great athleticism.  He has talent but supporting cast is amazingly important with any QB

He has been extremely average when he should be dominating

He looked like a different QB starting on the 4th quarter when we had to score and Longo started calling plays reflecting that. Odd.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
