I mean if you really think we are going to trade the #1 pick then I am not sure what to tell you.  If you even think it’s a possibility then you are the one that is clearly nuts.  

Very logical and not emotional at all

Are they also putting this out there just to mess with the Texans?

You are waaay too emotional on this topic, dude.

Yes they are

You’re the only person the Panthers seem to be fooling here 

Fitterer tells the beat reporters they’re open to trading down after making the trade. These beat reporters take it and run with it which is exactly what the Panthers want. The big name “insider” guys then start throwing it around and that’s how this all works 

The Panthers traded up to get their guy. They don’t have 2-3 in mind. They have 1. The ONLY team they’d trade with is Houston. Carolina wants to get Houston to trade up a spot for a guy that they’re not taking. It’s not happening.

It’s actually all pretty ridiculous

I do not have any intel on that source-wise. However, my personal opinon is that the Panthers wont try to get cute and risk losing out on CJ. If they are spendin all of these resources going through tape, reviews, phone calls, and background investigations... you dont want to lose that pick bc of a cute play.

 

Exactly. Getting cute can possibly burn you in the long run. Sure, it would be nice if we could get more picks out of this. But at the end of the day, the Panthers traded up to #1 to get their guy, and there's no guarantee that the team they just traded that #1 with doesn't pick someone else like they'd though, but ends up picking the player that was originally wanted. It's just too much of a gamble to be certain.

Don't fug around with it - Stick with #1 and get the player coveted, Panthers. Hopefully it's the right guy for the franchise for the next 10-15 years, and we knock this selection straight out of the ball park.

All 3 are completely different players. Cj most fits what Reich runs.   We would be goddamn fools to trade out of 1 just because we like 2-3 of the guys.   Plus what do folks really think Houston is going to give us to flip spots?

 

when you step back and hunk about it, it literally makes no sense and these “insiders” are playing us as morons.  

Exactly.  Stroud has been compared to Prescott and Goff.  I think he is the best of each.  That aligns with the coaching styles of several Panther coaches.

Young has been compared to Mahomes and Murray.  I think he is the worst of each.  While Murray has the same height, he is a better runner.  Mahomes has the elusive abilities and accuracy, but he is the best at what he does and Young has not shown to be his equal.

Richardson is the pick for all the Cam Newton fans hoping to clone their favorite son, but if the Panthers were interested in that kind of play, would they not have at least made a play for L. Jackson before trading more assets to Chicago?  I think Jackson is Richardson's ceiling, and that is fine.  I think Vince Young is his floor--yikes.

Levis?  He has the tools, but has not performed as well.  Secondly, he has been compared to Josh Allen.  Coming out of college, Josh Allen was not compared to players of his caliber, so to expect Levis to defy the odds and reach his ceiling (Josh Allen) is such a reach.  According to one source (and I like the comparision) think Jay Cutler instead.  When compared to CJ, there is no comparison.

In your totally unemotional opinion...

[Hoenheim]

I have a really hard time wrapping my head around drafting Bryce Young. You basically look like a genius if it works but you look like an idiot if he doesn't. 

CJ is a lot safer of a pick. 

I wouldn't be upset if we got young I guess but he'd need to convince me on the field to not be at least fairly worried about if he can stay upright for 17+ games a season. 

I'd be let down if CJ didn't work but I'd be incensed if Bryce didn't work and CJ did. Because then the panthers just played themselves...

Yep.   We could trade with Houston and they could flip it to Indy.   

Why would they trade it to their division rival tho?

Thank you for the insight + clarification!

Well they in theory could flip it to anyone.  I just choose indy as the next spot down that needed a qb but I agree I doubt they would do that trade unless it was over the top

[bythenbrs]

Let's stipulate that the team is leaning heavily towards Stroud today... but we are not drafting today.  We have weeks of process to work through before draft day.  At the end of that process, it may still be Stroud... or not.  Evaluations can change based on new information that we are not privy to.  It makes sense to not be clear publicly about any of the four, as the team may yet reach a different conclusion by draft day.

Sounds about right. Do you imagine that they'll trade with Houston and select Richardson if the compensation is enticing enough? I can't see them dropping down to #4.

Feels like it's Stroud and that's that.

There’s no way imo Frank is finally getting his Luck. He expected a good young moldable qb, Luck retired he never recovered in Indy. Even though he’s isn’t talked about like Luck most wound say he’s very pro ready. If you watched the GA game based off how good they were (defensively) most say  he’s the next Joe B this seems like Franks time to shine with good tutelage and weapons let’s play ball.
