The Panthers signed three of their seven draft picks to their rookie deals on Thursday night, including first-rounder Christian McCaffrey. Also signed were as offensive tackle Taylor Moton (second round) and fullback Alex Armah (sixth round). McCaffrey was the No. 8 pick out of Stanford.

Yeah I saw something a couple days ago on NFL Network that said in 2010, the year before Cam was drafted not a single first round pick was signed by June.  If there is an upside to sucking besides getting Cam, we picked a good year to suck!

Here's a question to ponder:
If there had been a rookie cap in place back in 96, what kind of career might Tshimanga Biakabutuka have had?


He had so much talent but just couldn't stay healthy. I still remember that Washington game where he was tearing it up in the first half and we took him out in the second half for Fred Lane....

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
