Then take some late round no name. Statistically it's about the same.

Because Carpanfan is right about the situation, and it means they may not just be looking at this season.

Like it or not, they have to plan for the possibility of life after Newton.  There are different options on how they do it, and yes they include a QB this year. And given that they have a QB guru on staff, they're not necessarily going to shy away from taking a mid-rounder with the idea of developing him.

I understand wanting insurance in case Cam isn't 100%.  But, 1) Grier ain't it and 2) we also have several other needs that we have to fill with these picks in the event that Cam is healthy.

Grier's not the only option. Neither are our options limited to guys we've visited with.

That said, Grier seems to be an option that the Panthers like. The question is just how much.

Grier looks legit to me. I don't know why people are so dead set against him. Sure, he doesn't have a cannon, but he sure does deliver a pretty ball from what I've seen. 

I think that people get caught up too easily with sexy first round picks. The first round ain't the only round to pick a QB that's worth a damn.

My concern with Grier is that he may he a system QB. Seems like that's the case for ever skill position player that comes out of WVU. Certainly looked to be the case during Senior Bowl week. I don't hate him, but I don't want him prior to our second 3rd rounder at the very earliest and I'm not even sure about that

You know it's snowing in hell, but I tend to agree with Scot on this one. 

And for the record, I love Cam, as should be evident by now, but I love the Panthers more. Last season showed me that it's past time to get a capable backup and someone who could be Cam's successor. If you don't think that it's Grier, fine! But fine QBs emerge from anywhere, from Wilson, to Mahomes, Romo and Brady.

The fact that they're strongly looking at taking one is reality.

And if they take one, I don't think they're gonna be terribly bothered by whether you thought it was a good idea.

I also don’t think they’ll be worried about your opinion just as much, if we’re being assholes about this.

Never said they would be.

I just find the whole notion that bringing in insurance in case a player can't go is some sort of insult to the player in question utterly laughable. Even more laughable is the idea that we should just agree to having a bad season if Newton goes down rather than doing the best we can to win without him

I think some folks are dead set against anybody at this point.

      It's going to take time to really evaluate new ownership. I still have some hopes that they can get us past the curse of the Jordan years. We got screwed over by the league with the lottery yet again, nothing in this draft was ever going to make people happy after that happened.

      The Hornets were screwed when they lost out on the #1 pick. Outside of Cooper Flagg this was a terrible draft class full of risky prospects and red flags. Kon Knueppel likely won't ever be a superstar - or even a star, realistically - but he can be a solid contributor for a long time in the league. That's actually more than I think will end up being the case for many of these players.

      I guess we should disregard what all these places say about our draft? And just trust you guys on this board? And as far as the Mark Williams trade, most places are saying we got the much better end of that trade for what its worth to yall. Bleacher report has Kon a "B", BR has him C+, Fansided A-, NBC Sports overall draft an A-, Sports Illustrated overall A-, MSN has Kon a B+, Yahoo Sports has us at an A- overall. Here is what ESPN posted:  Post-Draft Analysis Knueppel's well-rounded perimeter game and terrific 3-point shooting ultimately won out in Charlotte's decision process, with the Hornets attracted to his fit with their current roster and his long-term potential. He should help stabilize their perimeter minutes immediately, with his dependability all season at Duke a major selling point. The Hornets were thought to be exploring moves here, but were content to simply grab their guy and move forward. This is a strong match that should pay off right away for both sides. -- Jeremy Woo
