I was noticing that with alot of underclassmen that should come out that alot of good prospects at both positions will be available. The thing is with no 1st at the moment which way do we go with our first pick. Prime example the kid from nebraska, gerald mcoy, the kid from syracuse, orderick, and my sleeper vince oghabaase from duke will flood the dt market(all dts 6'4 and over). A guy like oghabaase is a good guy who we could get with a 3rd rd pick but would have been 1st rd talent last year(11 sacks in two years at 6'5 305 and over 20 tfl)! Then you add in the qb depth with guys like pike, mccoy, lefaveour, hiller, The Golden Calf of Bristol,skelton and you have alot of qbs to choose from in rnd 2 and three. My assumption is fox is gone, we get a conditional pick for losing some free agents(hangman,mark jones, and the guard that went to chicago) and we are sitting with a high 2nd, and two thirds. With peps not coming back do we take a chance on a guy like quinn or Cambell and draft a dt first or go after seymour and draft a qb first. The new powers to be will definately have some options to think about.

The only reason is because this year it became media coverage that we need a qb and dt. Just the whole fact that it became more obvious makes it seem it has to be fixed in order to avoid complete rebuild mode!

We have one of the youngest teams in the League. Fixing two positions doesn't exactly fit the "rebuilding mode" criteria.

Yes we have one of the youngest teams but with a couple of years of bad drafting and foxs stubborn ways we have avoided the main key which is qb. My point is that every team has a window and alot revolves on keeping the qb situation straight along with dline and oline. We have went nowhere on the dline since loosing buckner be honest. If we had tried to either develop early talent Haye instead of keeping someone just because of loyalty we wouldn't be in this poo. When Drew brees was up and down in san diego they got rivers and when brees left they haven't missed a beat. It is something that can't be overlooked. They have attempted with david carr and sniffing around losman and quinn but they should have went full force.

Why in the world would anyone speculate on who the Panthers will draft?

watching college football drinking beer makes you a professional scout. Didn't you know?

Prospects this time of year, especially if you're focusing on one because Brent Musburger is talking about him every other play, are at best a crapshoot. Half of the draftables are guys no one's heard of. Most drafted players have stock that will rise and fall plenty of times between now and April. "We should do "x" in the second"? No one knows what will be available in the second.

Watch. Someone this week will suggest we really must have Golden Tate.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).

      A question no one is asking about Bryce and The Panthers

      By CRA · Posted

      The defense has pulled that feat off this season though.  Multiple times. offense has not had a single good first half all season.  Only and good opening scripted drive paired with disappointing play.  defense has been the actual unit you can measure real and consistent improvement IMO.  Still holes and flaws to it that aren’t going away until new bodies get here but they really are the story of the season IMO

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      One thing about RB's and LB's is they are going to get hurt. It's inevitable. Having a fresh Chuba is not a bad thing.  My only criticism of this entire situation is that I wish our staff would adjust personnel to matchup a little better. I think Chuba is a lot better than Rico against the stacked boxes we've seen the last two weeks. They are very different backs with very different strengths, and I love them both. Rico is so good at identifying the hole early, and hitting it full speed early. He's much better at breaking the big run. Chuba is a much more patient back, and finds 3 yards when there's nothing there better than Rico.  It's in no way a criticism of either, but I think Chuba would have had more success than Rico the way the Saints and Falcons attacked us from a Defensive standpoint.  When you put 9 in the box, often times there is no hole to attack.
