#Georgia RB Todd Gurley (ACL), who had medical rechecks yesterday & today, checked out fine, source said. Viewed as good to go for the draft

Does this effect your opinion of the Panthers possibly selecting him?

( Yes yes, he may not be there for you morons that like to point that out in every topic. Him not bring there is a given, it may happen, we get it, now stfu)

Let's just say I'd be cautiously optimistic if we drafted him. I'd love the upside and the possibility of landing an elite workhorse back... but if can't stay healthy it's not worth it. His running style with NFL defenders banging him repeatedly is worrisome. I'm just not sure he could handle 20+ carries a game once Stew is no longer a Panther.

Ultimately I'd much rather take a healthy back with #1 potential in rounds 2-4.

I am fully on board the Gurley train. I might still wonder about the "what if" if Shaq Thompson isn't ours. But the first time Gurley scores some spectacular TD I will forget haha.

thats good news, hope we draft him . i wouldn't mind trading up and jumping sandiego and arizona to get him because i feel they are our biggest threats in getting gurly.

I saw a mock somewhere that had the Falcons taking him. I'm not sure we could really move up even past San Diego. Not without sacrificing picks that Gman could use to draft more gems. This draft is loaded with great talent in rounds 3-5.

i seen that too but idk if anyone will reach on gurly that early in the draft. im thinking he falls to the 15 - 17 range and i think we can get away with trading our first and maybe a  3rd rounder to trade up . all depends what players are falling.

      Completely disagree on your Mike Jackson assessment.  There are a ton of guys that play in the slot that are great matchups for him... especially now that the tight end is essentially a third receiver.  He also is solid in run support and would hugely improve our run defense playing in the nickel.

      Where this conversation goes south continuously and becomes bitter and contentious is when the discussion involves his "improvement". It is not hyperbole to say we started out the first two games of the season with some of the worst QB play in franchise history. We're talking amongst Jimmy Clausen. So when someone comes in and says Bryce played at such a high level in the last stretch of games he even surpassed Cam Newton as a sophomore there's not going to be any logical conversation to be had at that juncture. We can talk in a reality based context or we can talk in an echo chamber context. Only one is going to foster productive dialogue. Anyways what's done is done. We need to focus on the now. Now Bryce has an offensive line we've invested a ton of salary cap space in. He has a formidable backfield. He has a significantly improved WR room including 2 first round picks the last 2 years one being an 8th overall pick. He has one of the better TE rooms we've had in years with actual young promising talent instead of jags like Ian Thomas taking up salary cap space. He has a young up and coming offensive head coach. Honestly this is probably the best situation any QB has had entering the season since Delhomme in 2003. The foundation is there for any QB worth his salt to showcase high end franchise QB ability going forward.
