Damn, would be loved that pick...  I think James has Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Polamalu-type ability.  He is going to be special.

I'm guessing it would've cost next years first, which he said he didn't want to move...  I bet the teams there in the teens were gouging once James slipped there too.  Would've loved it, likely regardless of the cost as he was my favorite player in the entire draft, but I'm still excited for our pick and the fact we didn't lose any assets.

I'm not surprised. He almost go within draft trade value range of #24 + one of our 3rds. That would've been #18/19. If we were making offers, I hope that it was dangling one of those picks. Considering James went #17, we would've gotten good value per the chart had we swung that deal. This also gives me hope that we're serious about addressing the safety position. Would not be at all surprised to see both a safety and a CB taken tomorrow. S, CB, TE would be my guess.

I'm sure teams tried to get Marty to give up too much. Old Marty would have done it. Glad he didn't. We got a great player and still have all of our picks

You actually have to go for a nice ransom remember he was ranked what 30 outta 32 poo he's been known to do dumb moves.

I’m glad he tried and I’m just as glad he didn’t let himself get swindled.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      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.

      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.
