putting my nutsack on the chopping board


Recommended Posts

so last year i got a word from a guy who knows a well known guy within the panthers. he said that after running through those mock drafts gettleman likes to do right before the draft, kelvin benjamin was the clear cut dude. i didn't believe him at first and kind of blew it off, but i learned in the past year since that he is legit. i didn't post because of e-cred bullshit, but what the hell. fug it. for the sake of it ill tell you what i was just told a few minutes because im an asshole.

 

this year, it isn't as clear cut obviously. the favorite by far is Ereck Flowers, the OT from Miami. Also in play are Landon Collins, and Kevin Johnson. Shaq Thompson was kind of up in the air, so don't take my word for it. Panthers may draft him as an absolute last resort (just my opinion). A wild card name that we didn't really forsee in the pre draft process is Bryon Jones, a CB out of Uconn. It seems as if that if the o-line picks dont fall through, we will be upgrading our secondary in the first.

 

so yeah, believe me or not, i really dont care. just some food for thought i guess. feel free to flame or whatever. :)

man, if we draft a cb in the first after knowing how good our front 7 are, and knowing we are going to eventually pay mega-bucks to a LT that we dont even have yet...plus the obvious contracts of Luke, Cam, Star and Kawann...not to mention Bene and Norman...I may just fall out of my barstool.

If we get a first-rounder, realistically thinking he's eventually gonna desire a first-round pricetag, it better be a player thats gonna replace an already high pricetag player like TD or CJ.

I didn't hear anything about round 1 receivers. Just Ereck Flowers (cant emphasize this enough, he will 100% be the pick if he makes it to 25, barring amari cooper falling or some poo) and whispers of secondary help.

 

I'm completely fine with Flowers. I'm not feeling a CB though.

    • 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. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • 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.
