Vanilla pocket QB sounds perfect for this team great idea. He'll be getting sacked 5 times a game in no time

Not if we have competent coaches for him

Sounds familiar right? Welcome to the Panthers where we are going to win just enough to not get a great draft. Depending on how the next 3 weeks goes we have a 80% chance of staying exactly right there. 

Certainly seems the Panthers have a history of finishing seasons in a position where they just miss the top cream of the crop talent in the NFL Draft.

Have we ever had a bad pick when we picked in the top 10?

Yeah Butler was easily the worst. 

Butler and Benjamin were probably the two worst of this era even though both did contribute. We haven't had a solid bust in this era.

If we maintain the same pick position but somehow make it into the playoffs and heaven forbid, actually win a round, will our pick position be based on regular season or our final playoff position?

Well, the good news for this is 3 of the 4 best young qb's in the NFL right now were not the first qb's picked in the draft, and were picked in positions 6-10.  Maybe by picking later we will be saved from picking the next Mitch Trubiski or Baker Mayfield.  

Lawrence and Burrow both went first overall. How are they not two of your best young QBs in the NFL?

It’s based on Playoff position at that point. I believe if you make the playoffs the worst you can pick is 18th. And if you win the whole thing you pick last in the round.

It use to be that your record reflected your pick. They changed that years ago because shitty NFC West teams would go to the playoffs and still pick top 10. Now you get the bottom half if you make the playoffs. For us because we will win our division we would pick after all the wild card team.

Burrow has proved to be and Lawrence has finally gotten a decent coach so he can show he is as well.  If you haven't noticed there's not a lot of good young qbs in the league at the moment.

You make your own "great draft picks." The NFL is full of great players, and they just didn't come within the first day, much less the first five picks of the draft. The obsession with this is interesting.

We had a chance to get one of the best young QBs in the draft, but passed on him. It had set up so pretty...

Lawrence has been the best QB in football since the beginning of November. I think we need to define what young is. Under what? 30? 28? I think there are a bunch of good young QBs in the NFL. I think the Brady and Rodgers type guys have finally fallen off.

The kid from now too far down the road in Georgia? Justin Fields? Who Tepper wanted? And is emerging as a young stud despite whatever Nagy was doing in year one?

And the year before we missed out on Herbert because of a late season “culture win” and yet our culture is no better. We need a QB.
