Chances are we are drafting a rb. If we don't go Gurley in the 1st(cuz he's been drafted) I think these guys might be possibilities.

I'd love to have some prospect "vs" threads leading up to the draft.

I know we have some fans of both teams so I'd like to hear from you.

And....go

I thought Duke has been a stud the whole time he's been at Miami and he's gotten stronger as time went on.

He's fast. Don't know his combine numbers but don't care. He's good for a highlight a game with the d chasing him.

I can't really remember him passing catching much. But again QB play at The U not so much. He's a hard runner who could cut and go or bowl over.

From what I remember anyways. And I'm no scout either. I just liked what I saw.

As for Buck Allen...wasn't he on Saturday Night Live in the 80s? Kinda surprised he's in the draft. He's gotta be around 70 or so. But hey, good for him.

Just looked him up on Wikipedia. He's 84 years old. Couldn't find many stats on him.

Oh and he changed his name too. I guess he thought Buck Henry didn't sound like an NFL name. Who knew?

I heard he realized the nfl was a lifelong dream he's running out of time to fulfill. Couldn't compete at the combine because he was getting a pacemaker but has been really working hard with a personal trainer. No word on his 40 time, but some have said he's gotten the attention of a few scouts.

I would be surprised if he goes before the 6th round honestly, but good for him going for his passions at that age.

Yeah I was thinking a flyer in the 7th or snap him up as a UDFA before anyone else can.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
