I hope so. We've spent a ridiculous amount of money and draft capital on our Oline and to have the biggest question mark right in the middle worries me a lot. We all saw what happened with Paradis.

I really want to like this pick but JPJ was right there and could easily have been the Ryan Kalil for the next decade.

It was done for the 5th year option. Not that big a deal.

Yep. That one spot move is worth it for the 5th year.

Every QB is one injury away. You can't rely on one, especially one of Cousins age, not getting hurt.

Let Goodell get kicked in the balls after every commercial break and ad revenue will be higher than ever

That's it. The world is ending and we're all doomed. CWC and I agree. Fug it all.

Center and WR. Nothing else matters if BY has no time and no one open. That goes for any QB.

You must be a rookie in Panthers fan minicamp. *Sarcasm* Moves like this are almost as much a part of the Panthers organization as Keep Pounding.

Go back and watch the Mich-OSU game to see him go full Dawg.

I think it should be best impactful player available. We just spent a small fortune on 2 guards. If BPA was a guard that wasn't likely to crack the starting lineup for a couple years, that would be a bad pick IMO. I know we don't have many, if any, of those guys really, but likelihood to get playing time has to be taken into account for a pick(s) that high in the 2nd for a team with so many needs.

They watch just to see if a random ember from a cigar will set that excessively gelled hair on fire.

If JPJ is there at 33, I think he has to be the pick. Offense literally starts with the center. He has to be able to call the protections and make life easier for whoever is taking the snaps. We've had shitty center play for a while now. 3 solid guys in the center gives you the best chance for BY (or whoever) to be successful. At 39, take the best WR available. It's a deep WR draft. Someone is going to slide.

We have 2 first round picks?

If it's about winning, then Bryce has to be pullable. If it's not, then why the hell are you playing the game?

Humphrey was the pick and anyone with an eye for football and this team's needs knew it. We were terrible at center and we've all seen the value in having that position locked down for a decade with Kalil. Humphrey was about as solid a C prospect as you'll see.

Not really. This is the NFL and guys get hurt or outplayed by someone else. If Nix or any other QB pick gets drafted and is a serious threat to BY's job, or beats him out for starter, then we already have the answer about BY. If Nix, McCarthy, or another QB we think is the BPA is there, pull the trigger. Having 2 capable QBs is not a bad thing. Love rode the bench behind Rodgers for years, and it gave the Packers the flexibility to move on from Rodgers when the time was right. This should be about creating a better team overall. Draft capital is a spent asset. Put the best player on the field, every game, regardless if they're drafted 1st, 33rd or not drafted at all.

My thought at the time was he did it to get in the door. Anyone who listened to Rhule knew he was full of poo and he was going to be gone faster than a roach coach burrito on taco Tuesday, and he should have been after season 2. If he had to tolerate Matt for a year and then get to do his job, that's one thing. Turns put he sucked both balls, but these jobs are hard to get and playing along for a year to get one would have been a clever move. Sadly, a move that clever would have been the highlight of his tenure as GM.

The high quality food at some of those places will give you something for damn sure.

Unfortunately we can't pick up the phone and call the Carolina Panthers.

The DHop trade from the Texans was highway robbery. Lack of production on his part was not because of a lack of skills on his part. If we could get Tee Higgins for a 4th and Sanders I'd take that deal all day long and twice on Sunday.

I'm not upset about it at all either. Just more of a statement about how much QBs actually regressed under Rhule. Rhule was something special, in a necrotic STD sort of way.

He never really had a chance under Rhule the fool. There was never any QB development for anyone under that idiot.

We haven't recovered since David Tepper bought the team.
