I would like to know why I should invest all that money into Carr and not just pay Gardner Minshew less and roll with him. Why is Minshew's career passer rating actually higher than Carr's?

I would hope that the Panthers are exploring all their options at QB, including Minshew.  I also hope they'll consider more than a single stat before drawing any conclusions.

Why not have both?

Remember, Bridgewater and Darnold were both receiving 20 mil/year. 

So, is 30-35 mil/year for a significant upgrade at QB too much to pay?  Keep in mind that the salary cap is increasing by 16 million for 2023.  Carr would be the best QB in the division and the Panthers would become the odds on favorite to win the NFC South.

None of this would prevent the Panthers from drafting their QB of the future this year or next.

Wouldn't it be enjoyable to watch the Panthers get back to playing competitive football in 2023? 

You mean, under the new administration, that we can walk and chew gum at the same time?  Who knew?

That is a very manageable number. You'd think he is leaking that because he wants another team rather than the Jets or Saints.

35million this year is the equivalent to a 29million QB last year....

All depends on how the contract is written and the length. I wouldn't want to do a 5 or 6 year contract. Shorter term, I could see doing. Anything more than 3 years, I'm not really interested in. 

You don't want a SB huh?

 

Carr not going to battle with any of the elite QB's. Why are we obsessed with B tier bridge QB's...

 

Then people wonder why this franchise is in turmoil because we can't get the QB right! Stop taking on other teams used up QB's. Carr is not a franchise QB.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'll add that you must consider the complete picture, including a cost-value analysis.

If our FO chooses Carr, I'll have to accept it, but the thing is is that I don't know if his expectations---functionally or contractually---is to be a bridge. So can we expect a team that signs him to sign him within that context? 

Minshew probably just wants another chance to be a starter and prove that he is legitimate, so he'll probably be more likely to come with that expectation, and his contract should likely reflect that.

I'd also add that even some of the more advanced analytics besides passer rating is likely in Minshew's favor as well. Of course Carr has way more production because he had the opportunity due to his numerical draft selection and corresponding expectations. It's just food for thought.

35 mill is quite a bit more than 20 mill. That's a lot less roster flexibility... AND most people were very unhappy with Darnold's 20 mill.  Teddy's was fine and I'd be fine paying a bridge QB that or that range.

I don't think Carr comes here for 30 mill but maybe I'm wrong.  However, I don't think Carr wants to go some place that is being partially rebuilt to hold a seat for a rookie for a couple years.  If we get him, he's out long term starter, and he will expect us to build a team around him, not around a first round rookie.  We may draft a rookie QB at some point this draft and may even get a first rounder QB in his time here if we pick him up, but it just doesn't make sense to spend both 35 mill AND the 9th overall (or more) on your QB of the future.  And my preference is just through the draft right now.

Teddy B career is 90.5. Cam's is 85.2. Would you rather have Cam or T2G? 

Well rushing was a huge part of Cam's production, and Teddy, not so much.

Rushing is not a huge part of Carr's game or Minshew's game to date.Ind you that out of 142 games almost all of them started by Carr, he has 845 rushing yards. Out of 24 games started by Minshew (and 32 games played), he has 521 yards. Draw your own conclusion from there.

Is this supposed to be an endorsement? I didn’t want Stafford either, congrats he won a SB in a stacked team with a great HC.

 

Carr isn’t Stafford btw. Stafford is more talented and has always had an aggressive mindset, Carr is captain checkdown with an OK arm, both are inconsistent game to game.

True.  As we've seen, some people are willfully ignorant when the truth undermines their preferred narrative. 

An example courtesy a guy who knows a thing or two...

People

People get enamored with watching guys throw it far or throw it hard, when neither of those things is what matters.

What matters is your ability to accurately throw it to a spot.

If you can't do that, The result is more likely an incompletion.

(but hey, at least it'll look really cool and make you go "wow") 😕

That’s the problem with calling every QB who changes teams a “retread” like they are all the same. 

By definition he's a retread. His team decided to move on just like the Jets and Browns decided to move on from Darnold and Mayfield whom we rolled the dice on. He would be retread #3 for us. Just because you don't like the term doesn't make it untrue.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By 7CLOWNS · Posted

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
