kinda ridiculous to me teams are waiting like the police would just let him walk and announce him as a suspect later in a press release.

In two years when he's a free agent again I can see him signing a big contract with his hometown team or to some destination location, but in the meantime there's no team in the league that can raise his stock more than the Panthers. I can't think of a more nationally infamous o-line and if the unit improves at all it would make him a star at his position overnight. That's way more appealing than getting a ring on the bench or a short drive home in your first two seasons.

I just assume Saints fans don't know much of anything. It hasn't failed me yet.

DGB I understood but the big cat's officially getting senile if La'el's cleared and we don't even try

I'd like for him to split time with Philly. Having a burner and possession reciever as options would give Shula a lot of flexibility. I think we can all agree he shouldn't return kicks ever again

Trai just retweeted me..................................................

I don't subscribe to this idea that there's a universal big board for the whole league. "BPA" is subjective and varies from team-to-team. Shaq is a possibly great player but now he has to prove that he was the best for the Panthers. I don't hate the pick. I just worry that even if the Panthers drafted Luke's clone it wouldn't do much for this team when the holes are so glaring.

Taking time to evaluate a potential game changer is caring more about winning. I'd have no problem with them passing on him if they did that.

I agree but this is why it's upsetting that the Panthers are just ignoring him. Unless they've got the scoop that he's definitely going before 25, there's no excuse to not at least meet the kid before you make that call. Usually I hate the "not serious about winning" poo but it's hard to not feel that way when the possible answer to our prayers in a tall, speedy WR comes along and the organization seems like they don't even want to consider him.

Black helmets and midfield logo have a better shot. I just hope he gets drafted before us so it doesn't sting so bad.

On that note: Seattle is a playoff team without Wilson. Super Bowl? Arguable. Jimmy Graham helps.

At the Hornets game. Crowd erupted into a "LUUUUUUKE." Wonder what they could be chatting about.....

I like Ginn but some of ya'll are killing me acting like we should just ignore speedy recievers now. You realize he was on the team before and wasn't Randy Moss, right?

This is spot-on but to be fair to this crowd I don't think they ignore the team weaknesses. They seem to believe that a "franchise QB" should be able to overcome them and if Cam can't we should find someone who should. I get it but I think that's just flawed logic. The Panthers' weaknesses as a team are so anti-QB that there's no one in the league that I can confidently say could have done more than Cam has, and that's a testament to his talent. There's always room for improvement and no one has ever suggested otherwise.

Biggest takeway I get from that from that is that he feels like Ginn is the speed answer so the next WR will be a slot guy. Also maybe it's just the Kool-Aid talking about everything I'm hearing sounds like the team feels good with Oher at LT. I'm sure we'll still draft someone for depth but it seems like Gman's more confident in him than the fans are.

Crust is at least 60%. I've had pies where the filling wasn't great but the crust was. Never the other way around.

Can stop referring to a guy with 4 career tackles as a special teams "ace"

I'd imagine it's mostly fan support and the small extra bargaining chip the hometown team gets. Apples and oranges here but look at Lebron and Cleveland. Also it's just easier to scout in proximity, especially for small schools like App that might be overlooked completely otherwise.

1. KB 2. Ginn 3. Boykin 4. Cotchery 5. Brown would disappoint, but not surprise me

I don't feel comfortable signing our #2 WR past round one. We're not in a position to go bargain hunting.

Can we go ahead and put a filter on "Blind Side" before the first sack of the season

I'll take this over spending KB's prime trying to grow a WR core from dirt. We're not going to get Calvin Johnson through free agency, this is about as good as it gets.

Losing your mother is a terrible thing and I don't know DeAngelo Williams personally, so I'm would not dare assume that he would do something as terrible as lie about it for his own gain. Regardless, context is everything and the timing of this from him is disappointing and exploitative towards the fans and this franchise. I feel for his loss. I can't respect how he brought it up on his way out the door like a scorned lover instead of mentioning it at any point during the nine illustrious years he had with the franchise, including public moments the franchise specifically dedicated to his mother. It hurts as a fan because I thought he was better than that.
