Panthers get a D

[Gallagher]

Doesn't matter; got Cam.

[PantherWake]

Cam and a bunch of nobodies....Success?

[Riverboat Ron]

Cam Newton alone would give us a C in my opinion. The rest of the draft was horrid, but considering we didn't have a 2nd round pick and we landed a franchise QB I wouldn't give us a D considering Atlanta gave up a ton to get Jones and they got a B+.

I'm looking at it this way...

Sure I only passed one of my six classes, but the class I did pass I got a 100 in.

[Frizzy350]

The Redskins gave up enough picks that equated to more than a whole draft class to get what they thought would be Cam.

 

I'd say we gave up less with just having a shitty draft.  Oh and we got something a whole lot better than RG3.

hurney magic

[Marguide]

We got Cam.

 

Anything else would have been icing on the cake.

 

Marty screwed us in many ways, but I have to take my hat off to the man for picking Cam and Kuechly. Neither one were consensus picks, but Hurney rolled the dice and gave us our cornerstones for the next decade.

[Mother Grabber]

can you imagine how bad that draft would have been if we'd picked Gabby Gabberson instead of Cam?  That would have possibly been the worst draft in the history of the league.

But in that scenario that one class was good enough to get your foot in the door of any Ivy league college.

 

The name of the game in today's NFL is to have that QB you can build around, any draft where you get that player, it's an automatic win.

 

Giving us a D in the draft where we got Cam, regardless of any other picks, is a joke.

 

C at worst, I'd probably say C+ to B-

It was like a biochemistry class that no one had ever gotten a 100 in before.

Been going through the grades and we have the same grade as a Lions draft of Nick Fairly, Titus Young, Mikel Leshoure, and two nobody scrubs, wow

Weighted totally different too. Its like a 100 in a 9 credit hour class.

We found a franchise QB and a great one too.
