Or trade with us. 

Gman is no idiot, he wont do that. He does not believe in the "one player away" philosophy.

Fournette has been bred as the best runningback since Adrian Peterson far often this draft season. His unbelievable power and finesse in his run game makes him one of the best downhill runners the game has seen in a while. Even though he's questionable with his ability from the shotgun, he still could impact any team he goes on in a positive way, and even I believe the Panthers would know what they're doing if they pick such a runningback.

Well, our very own Igo revealed some nice information on twitter today. Apparently, the Panthers are sold on Fournette. Will be the pick if he's available.

For those of you who assume this is mere speculation by Igo:

Take this what you will.

Ok , so if we go with Fournette how would you like this scenario , its still high probability that DG double dips?

1.RB| Leonard Fournette

2 RB-WR | Christian McCaffrey (you bascially draft a  #2WR along with great HB)

3 TE | Jordan Leggett

4 DE | Trey  Hendrickson

5. S | Josh Harvey-Clemons

6. WR | Ryan Switzer

You can take the best RB ever and it wouldn't win you any Championships if you don't have your passing game in order. A good running game is best if you already have that part of your offense in order. We don't. Our WR group still needs work. And so does all of our TEs after Olsen. You can win championships with a good passing game and average running game. Focus on our passing first before you decide to draft a luxury RB in the 1st round in an era where RBs are a dime a dozen.

you can argue Bo's 4.12 forty. however, deion sanders (one of the fastest nfl corners) praises Bo's speed and athletix ability. it wasnt just his straight line speed. the guy walked off the baseball field and started over marcus allen ( a top ten rb of all time).

and that aint no myth, brother

What the fug do you mean???? Kalil, Turner, and Norwell are great. Oher Is very solid if healthy. Williams looks the part too. We're just lacking one piece. 

so you agree...

Bo didn't run sub 4.2. Urban legend. Faster than Fournette, yes, as fast as Usain Bolt, no. Read this article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2519690-nfl-urban-legends-bo-jackson-and-the-too-fast-to-be-true-40-yard-dash

I understand.  Thus my use of the term "allegedly" (maybe you didn't see that).

Bo was easily between a 4.2 and 4.3 though.  He lettered in track at Auburn for 2 years, running the 60-yard dash.  His time in the 60?  6.18.

Are you out of your mind? Fournette's style of running could not be further from Bell's. 

Verdict:  True

Mainly because Bell has proven, in college and the NFL, that he can do multiple things well as a running back to contribute to the team.

Fournette is EXTREMELY good at one thing.  The addition of Fournette to a Carolina offense coordinated by Mike Shula would devolve our offense to be even more one-dimensional than we already are if that was possible.

The source is excellent. Bill Voth is far and away the best Panthers insider.

I'm with this. First pick needs to be offense. PERIOD. 

[WOW!!]

Totally disagree.  A good Run game can set up everything else..

Well in the Super Bowl, yes. But, leading up to it to get them there?

I took the question as pertaining to only the Super Bowl itself, honestly.

The lead up would, to me, be a separate discussion.

[countryboi]

I don't doubt this is true Igo is normally on point but I don't remember it being this early, it feels feels like a smokescreen to get the player we really covet.
