Rhule says the plan is to win a Super Bowl with Cam Newton .. but because its something you don't want to hear he was probably only just saying that. He didn't really mean it.

Tepper said ideally the Panthers win a Super Bowl with Cam Newton .. but because its something you don't want to hear he was probably only just saying that. He didn't really mean it.

But, Tepper says its going to be a five-year re-build and you just eat that right up like it's straight from the mouth of Jesus don't you. There is no, he's probably just saying that, he didn't really mean it, on that re-build statement.

Get off this board non-fan.

Chuck come on man

Pass. 

In a weak OT class, Conklin will get too much money and doesn't move the needle for me. 

I'd rather roll with Moton/Little and if we are going to spend FA money on an OL splash player, give me Thuney or Scherff inside to make our young tackles better. 

I'm on board for adding Thuney if we make a splash in FA. He's probably #1 on my list right now.

Wrong. Wrong everywhere. Thuney is over-rated New England trash. He plays Guard .. it is much harder to find solid Tackle play.

Conklin was a First-Team All-Pro Tackle .. Thuney was an All-Pro Second Team Guard .. 

Give me Conklin all day. How underrated he is here doesn't make sense. He is an above average starting Tackle in the NFL and 26

Some of you should try to be as realistic as possible about addressing the OL in 2020. We can make progress through some obvious moves but spending on OL in free agency has bitten a number of teams in the ass the last few years. Us quite recently with the Paradis signing and obviously Kalil. What's likely to happen is in the short term we will pursue 2nd tier depth FA olinemen and possibly add one or two more from the draft. There will be improvement but getting the OL into shape for contention isn't going to happen in one offseason.

Hurney picked his franchise LT in last years draft.  

audrey hepburn deal with it GIF

Honestly, this scares me to death.  I can certainly see Hurney trying to justify NOT taking a blue chip tackle because of his trade up last year.  "Little just needs more time, what we need is another LB"...I can see it coming out of is mouth now.

Well, it does take time for O-linemen to develop. That's just the way it is. 

If we get lucky and one is the BPA, then perhaps we'll make another move in the draft.

I don't see us really going after Conklin though, unless he comes cheap(ish)!

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
