Glad we didn't fall for Lance. There was never a bigger risk in the top 10 of the draft at QB in my eyes. Didn't throw the ball in high school and only chucked it for one year in college and his college competition was super on the low end.

I never got the whole love affair with him.  As you said, just too little to go on to conclude he was going to develop into an NFL QB, let alone do so in a year or two.  Who knows, maybe if he hadn't gotten hurt in their second game last year he would have shown something.  The other side of that coin is he might have played himself off the roster, too.

I didn't have a warm, fuzzy with Zach Wilson, either, but at least there was a body of work to evaluate.

WTF is going on in college football?

 

There is now talk of California/Stanford/SMU joining the ACC. Those long distance flights will be crazy lmao. College football just needs to get rid of conferences all together. There is no longer college rivalry games anymore with all this movement.

Conferences (in football, anyways) were a mistake and TV money is tearing the sport apart.  Notre Dame had the right idea all this time. Shame that we finally get an actual playoff system once the sport is all but dead. The Cal/Stanford/SMU move seems to be one vote away from going through at this time but there's no guarantee that vote'll come, though you'd think State would be swayable. Guess we'll see.

That 2021 QB class was supposed to be special and so far it’s turning it to be dud city.

fields has had a good camp

I would take a chance on Lance, look at Jordan Love, started out as a disaster, sat now for 4 years and he looks like he might be decent. Could see that with Lance.

We were rumored to have liked those top 3 but not Fields.

we traded for Darnold after SF moved up to that spot to take the 3rd QB off the board

I still don’t think we would have taken Lance. Rhule wasn’t going to hitch his wagon to a raw rookie. I’m sorry, but I don’t remember any Lance (or even Wilson) interest that was founded in anything besides speculation like the next year when we were tied to every single QB. We had no QB so there were articles about every potential QB pick like Willis and Pickett as well. I do remember discussion about how we weren’t really interested in any of the QBs after Lawrence and making the Darnold trade pre-draft for 3 picks supports those rumors.

Also, SF was rumored to be interested in Darnold as well until they made the trade. We were also already rumored to be interested in Darnold very early as well.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree but we didn’t even give a chance for any QB to drop with the Darnold trade.

Lance for Corral. Straight up. They're ready to give up on Lance. We're ready to give up on Corral.

So you want a guy that hasn't put it together in 4 seasons to replace a guy that has been here for 2 and looks better than the guy with 4 seasons of experience? 

I'm convinced most of you go on name recognition alone and never bother to actually see if that player fits or even wants to play here.  Fantasy football is ruining the sport of football.

I didn't say the Panthers, just un general. Like if you are the Bucs, you wouldn't chance that?
