Who you liking in 26’s class? Nico hurt himself, Manning is a question mark, LaNorris looks legit…

I'm open to all the top guys at this point and critique as the season progresses, although about 5 of them are only 3rd year guys.  I don't have a draft crush yet, to answer your question.  Some (unlikely all) will go back for another season...especially in case of a prolonged injury or underwhelming season of production.  It worked out well for Cam Ward to stay in college and transfer to Miami this season.  I think he was project as a solid Day2 guy (likely Round3) if he had came out last year.

I'll critique as the season goes along.  Remember, this current QB class looked a lot different from how it started in the fall to how is actually shook out in the draft.  As a whole, folks thought Sanders was QB1, Ewers QB2 and Ward was QB3.  Dart was like QB5 or QB6.  I think the only one that was about spot on was Milroe around QB4 or QB5. 

The talent in the 2026 QB class is better and much deeper than this one even if a couple decide to stay in school.

He's one site's way too early 2026 QB rankings as of spring 2025:

Funny, I already came across a 2026 first round mock draft and they had the Saints taking Nussmeier #1 overall.

I’ve come around to being a Bryce defender. Really big step. Not many players dig deep and make the post benching turnaround he did. 40 burger in ATL. XL dropped a DIME to possibly beat the SB champs. Took KC to the wire. Not like the defense did him any favors. So he’s got moxie and dropped a lot of dimes to finish the season out. Continues? I think so. 

And if he doesn’t… Haven’t y’all learned there’s always worse? We’re good at worse. Really good at it. It’s all we’ve seen since Cam. This team is finally starting to build something. Stockpiling promising talent and it may take a bit of time. Building team culture through winning some damn games is huge.

Most building teams go .500 the year before they turn in to serious contenders the following year. Don’t expect more than that this year although it’d be nice to do better.

Josh Allens and Mahomes don’t exactly grow on trees.

If we get the same Bryce that started the first two games of last season, they have to consider making a significant investment at the position again.

If we get the Bryce that played the last seven games of the season, then take the fifth-year bonus option leading into his fourth season so that there's plenty of time to negotiate a second deal.

Too much focus on BY9.

 

Bryce had us winning against KC, TB, and Philly and the D couldnt stop on their final drives.

Yes he needs to keep showing growth but putting the teams record on him misses out on how much he grew last season.

I mean, given that massive trade he'd pretty much have to be Mahomes 2.0 to ever live up to that status. It's a sunk cost. It's just whether or not he's a guy you think you can win a SB with or not. If not, you gotta look for a guy who is. Pretty much that simple.

I disagree. If he becomes our franchise qb that trade was worth it

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Basbear · Posted

      I'll toss my 2 pennies(rip) into this. I was not a fan of the Dan hire, I'd say 80against/20meh. The right hand stuff and being a part of what I viewed as the sorriest panther team in history...... The deal is some of the first moves he did saved NOTHING in cap space. He waived Bozeman, Vonn Bell, and Hurst.....That to me doesn't feel like Firererererere was listening to Dan to a high degree. Dan didn't have a 1st rounder which was 1st overall due to the supreme suckage. He didn't have 2nd rounder this past year which was a early pick right where the talent of the 2025 was. Plus the cap was not in the best shape.... The QB deal was in deep water as well. If you factor this extreme mess and analyze the current OL, DL, WR, and RB groups..... I have. Use your normal realistic cues. Even without playing the first game of this season, you must see improvement, right?? He simply could not fix all the problems, but the problems he choose to tackle... He did so like it was the 2003 Superbowl all over again. Factor in depth and age, those groups check the difficult boxes. Most of the players are young, locked in contracts, and there *should* be depth behind the starters. He's not going to bat 1.000, his mistakes have been pointed out numerous times. IMO, he does need some props for what I feel he's done right. Trade wise he's been killing the value side- extra future 2nd, starter level CB that's 28 year old for 240 picked LB that's bounced around the league, and moved up without giving the classic herniay future picks to land two edges whom are only behind QBs on the most valued chart. He also got a early 2nd and 2 5ths for a 8 sack-a-year edge that got nearly 30 mill per.  Sure its got to play out and positive results are needed. Still if you know NFL and been watching since the herniay&gettlegut eras, you got to feel the process is on the up and up. Im not talking in typical off-season hopuim fluff either.... It's not over by any means either(please give him until the 2026 season end), maybe this is a real foundation in the making, us Panthers don't even know what that is...... This could be the first real long lasting winner than us fans have never had in 30 years and we are witnessing it....

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I feel like we have some depth; we just need that proven nickel. Mike Jackson is a decent #2, but ideally we'd have a proven veteran in the slot. Smith-Wade might be able to fill that role, but he's far from a sure thing.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Todd mcshay is doing a deep dive each week on the top propects.  Although he likes manning as a top guy he doesnt think he is coming out but he absolutey raves about Cade, Sellers and Garrett n.   Cade is the jack of all trades, does everything kindof well, Garrett is the big game hunter that has pin point accuracy, and sellers is the wildcard, the tools and arm is simply off the chart.  So adding in Manning and allar this class has unreal potential
