Panthers favoring Levis?

Because 32 isn’t old for a QB in the NFL anymore. The same people that says that it’s too old are the same people who want Cam back and he’s the same age but with a bum arm. 
 

I’m not saying it’s the best idea, but he fits Reich’s offense and I would rather do that than invest in the 3rd or 4th best QB in a below average draft class. 
 

I would take my chances with Carr, resign Burns, Bozeman and a couple depth FAs. And use the draft capital on guys like Mayer, Kincaid, Eichenburg, Campbell, Robinson, Johnson, etc.

I mean Carr is probably getting cut from his team and the Bears are passing on the top QB in this class to keep Fields as their guy. It really helps to add context with stats. I think Carr is an average QB, but Fields is a 23 year old who was responsible for 25 TDs and around 3500 total yards with a terrible OL, Moony as his best WR, a defensive minded HC, in his 2nd offense in as many years, in the QB wasteland known as Chicago. 
Carr is about to be on the decline and Fields is just starting to flash (yeah he needs more work as a passer). I’d take Fields on that rookie contract for pick 9 over spending a large amount of money to acquire Carr all day long.

30 million a year!? And what if he is proven to be damaged goods? He'll be 32 when training camp rolls around. We can't afford to take an L on another high risk signing like that.

The salary cap went up. $30 mil/year is mediocre starter money now.

The Panthers typically have done what I didn't want them to do under Fitt. Loading up our defense with guys who will now want mega contracts is probably the worst part. Not trading Brian "no show" Burns, whose terrible performance against TB basically cost us the playoffs, still makes me cringe.

So what would be the worst thing we could reasonably do in the draft with FItt in control? I would be upset if we traded up for Will Levis. That makes me worry that Fitt is planning to do just that. He'll wait until Levis is near our pick and trade up, which would be exactly what I don't want to happen.

Are you planning on paying him in draft picks??

Obviously referring to if we get antsy and try to trade for him. I'm hopeful Fitterer has learned his lesson. He knows this is his last chance to get QB right. Can't do anything foolish though. This would fall under that.

No one is trading for him. Period.

Everyone in the NFL knows he is getting cut.

Tricky draft.  Feels like we need to take BPA to me.  None of the QBs in this draft are year one starters.  Corral sat for a year... if he kept his head in the game and in his books then maybe he can impress in camp?  

I think Young and Stroud are likely year one starters. Definitely Young.

Levis COULD be, although I have a lot of doubts. Richardson would be shocking if he is starting in three seasons. He basically has to finish learning how to play QB.
