The Panthers have used up so much draft capital over the last couple of years trying to find a franchise QB. This time they plan to draft the best QB in the draft rather trading for QBs drafted high but washed out with their former teams. It kind of reminds me of when The Don signed many former first round picks in free agency in his last season (they were available for a reason), and then everyone anointed the Dolphins the team to beat. We know how that turned out. They usually do not turn into Geno Smith.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Panthers acquired the No. 1 overall pick from the Bears in exchange for D.J. Moore, the No. 9 overall pick, a 2023 second-round pick, a 2024 first-round pick, and a 2025 second-round pick.

The move gives Frank Reich the chance to handpick the next face of Carolina's franchise. He was a sound offensive coach in Indianaoplis but never figured out the most position in football, cycling through Jacoby Brissett, Phillip Rivers, Carson Wentz, and Matt Ryan following Andrew Luck's retirement. Most draft pundits have Alabama's Bryce Young as the top quarterback prospect in the draft, but Ohio State's C.J. Stroud and Florida's Anthony Richardson will be options for the Panthers. For Chicago, the move fills their extreme need at receiver and allows them to add more talent on either side of the ball. Already having found their future at quarterback with Justin Fields, they had no reason to stay put at the top of the draft.

Good move by the Bears......none of the QBs in this year's draft are obviously better than Justin Fields. I'm not convinced any will make a serious impact in the NFL.

At this moment I'm not on the Fields bandwagon. I get the trade because he has showed enough to think he is the guy, but not done much outside running. However, I see him not having much around him yet, just like Tua's first two yrs. However, I think Tua is a better passer. I will say I've not thought much of him as a passer.

I agree with them making this trade, because if Fields is not the guy, they will be back at the top in the future.

I think CJ Stroud is going to be a very good QB in the NFL. Hopefully they can put a good team around him and protect him.

Whoever they pick will be a bust.

Only difference is, this time they will have targets for Fields to throw to. That was the whole point of this trade. Get some receiver help without using the top pick.

And if Carolina ends up sucking next year, the Bears stand to benefit.

Now rumor has it that Carolina may try to fleece Houston or Arizona for the #1 pick in order to recoup some of the picks they had to give up. They hold all the cards now.

I tend to agree. Next year's QB crop looks a lot better.

But I said the same thing in 2017 with Mahomes and Watson. Thought it was much smarter to hold off for Darnold or Allen.
