Interesting.  If he wants us, he sees something.  Maybe it is because our owner is rich and gives big contracts, but I think it is less about money than it is about his ego.  He sees the NFC South as a place he can dominate with a QB.

My cynical side says these folks don’t just up and do things.  If we’re the spot, a plan is in place.  Nods, winks, unspoken agreements have put this into motion well in advance to us hearing about it.

Im having a hard time with this. A coach as good as Payton is worth a 1st round pick. 

But could we hire an equally capable coach (Steichen) without having to give up draft capital?

Payton could have the inside track on addressing the QB problem. (Rodgers,Brady,Carr)

Mainly it means that previous coaches were not doing their job and we have a decent team. If we get a player or two we could become competitive. Sean Payton is a competitive guy, same for Jim Harbaugh. It is why they both wanted this job, higher probability of success. Both have huge egos that need stroking.

I guess we can assume that we already KNOW Payton is a good coach (although with Drew Brees, I could look good) but with Steichen, we have to predict that he will be one.  I am not sure Tepper wants to risk another experiment.

To consider the cost of surrendering a first rounder, you must also consider how much Payton will make the existing players better.  (For example, a star basketball player may score 40 points and grab 10 rebounds, but if the production of his teammates drop off when he plays, is he really a star player?)  I think Payton makes players better because he knows how to use them.   Think YGM, Chinn, Marshall, and our QB...

Now consider the actual value of a first round draft pick.  I found this on a Vikings board and it is interesting:

"Overall, only about two dozen players every draft will go on to have significant careers performing at a high level. That’s not a lot - less than one genuinely good player per team each year."

So if Payton makes good players great and mediocre players good, is he worth the draft pick?  I do not like surrendering a pick for a coach, but it could make sense if you look at his impact on other players.  A good coach puts players in position to succeed; a bad coach sets them up for failure.

Great point and I’m not sure the PSL sales and current stadium atmosphere could take another 3-5 years. I’ve been to almost all the Panther games, and the SF game may have been the worst I have ever seen in that stadium. I believe it is why Rhule was fired. There is only two ways to get asses back in seats, either become a snake oil salesman and provide artificial hope, or hire the candidate with the highest probability for success and generate buzz and excitement.

This is the key. It takes rookie players 1-2 years to get up to speed in the NFL. If we give up 2, firsts we will feel it in years 2-4. Meanwhile, if we present the possibility of challenging for a Lombardi trophy some veteran players will chase that. Losing draft picks sucks, but you can navigate around it. You can’t navigate around having a clueless and lost head coach that wastes the talent they have on their roster. Coordinators with 1-2 years experience will need time to learn and adapt to situational football, time management, roster moves, and team moral. So do we want to compete now or in 2025-2026?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
