Funny you mention Patrick Mahomes.... He wasn't pick number one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or even nine. This obsession you people have with pick number one is unhealthy. The vast majority of the top quarterbacks in the league right now were picked outside the top five and many were picked much later than that.

And when we trip into the Playoffs, and Sam plays horrible, and this board unleashes all levels of hell on Sam ... then what? Then nothing. We need an elite QB here.

Don't disagree.  I would hate to take the south.  Don't mind a few wins but going to the playoffs would spell disaster.  We'd be one and done.  I hate saying that.

Most fans would rather have a few meaningless wins than try to build to get back to the superbowl 

If there was another Mahomes in the draft, our fans would still want to win 

I guess we really are not football smart 

 
People also ask
 
 
 
Where is Mahomes being drafted?
 
 
The Chiefs ended up taking Mahomes at pick No. 10. The media could not be played.Sep 12, 2022

I actually want the higher pick because I want to at least have the opportunity to get the next mahomes. Having pick 1 or 2 just means there's 8 less teams to get our guy before we pick.

I think the point is you're just as likely to get the next Mahomes at 1 as... Where he was drafted, at 10.

Edit: the likelihood is very low either way lol

People just don't have any patience. They want wins now and Superbowls now.

 

"YES! WE WON! But ... Sam still suuuucks, lol. Sam lololol. He suuuucks."

>>Sam manages to get us into the Playoffs by winning the ugly South.<<

"PLAYOFFS, BABY! But Sam and Baker suuuuuuuck. Put PJ in! Any given Sunday with PJ! Sam suuuuucks!"

>>Sam plays terrible in Playoffs. PJ comes in and sucks too.<<

"F Rhule for Sam! F Tepper for Baker! PJ can't do ANYTHING with this line! DJ sucks! We had a real chance!"

>>Panthers draft a LB<<

"Great pick! It's who I wanted. Corral and PJ are going to battle it out in camp. I see 10 wins!"

I get that. Of course to be able to find that guy you need someone who can recognize and develop QB talent and that's something we haven't had here in a long fuging time.

Mahomes also benefited from a talented roster. I'm sure the chiefs take him higher than 10 if they can, even.  But the reason I don't get stressed is just as many of today's great QBs weren't drafted in like the top 3 as were...

I hate to say it, but if you want to win every week, you are following the wrong team. Ever since Cam got lit up and his shoulder officially died, we are 20-49. We are 0-4 against good teams and 4-4 against bad teams. We are squarely in the mediocre to bad teams.

I’m switching to playoff rooting because I think we do have a shot after all the losses today, especially considering 7-10 could win this division. We have 1 good team left on the schedule so we aren’t in line for a top 5 pick.

We are about as likely to finish in the top 5 of the draft as we are to back into the playoffs.

      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. 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...
