Panthers will draft Justin Herbert

[ForJimmy]

He won’t be there when we pick, which may be a blessing in disguise. Chargers will draft him before us.

“Upgraded our QB”

 

 

 

We upgraded a QB that might have played 6 games next season to one that will probably play 10

For the record I think Herbert is Blaine Gabbert 2.0

Fix the O line, fix the defense somewhat, then go after the QB.  No reason to pull a Cam Newton over again.

I'd go Joey Harrington for more accuracy.  But Gabbert isn't far off.

Okudah??

It’s not so much a problem with Okudah the player I have but more of a problem with taking a cornerback at 7 given how the NFL is so offense driven. Okudah would also be up against guys like Evans, Jones and Thomas and I don’t think he or many people stand much of a chance. So again for us to use that 7th overall pick on a cornerback from a production stand point for us, I just don’t think it’s the best move. There’d be more value imo if we just signed Xavier Rhodes to line up against those guys and used that pick on a different position. We inject one of the top WR’s into the offense on top of what we have and that’s one hell of a unit.

As far as Simmons goes with my logic above, he is more of a playmaker (like Tyrann Mathieu) and those are what you need in today’s game.

If he can't play DT, then no.

Yep, but it would be in keeping with a lot of the ignorant-ass decisions made by Hurney, Rhule and Co. as of late (excluding the Anderson signing -- unless they trade Moore due to that).

His arm is huge, but his mechanics are bad. 

We've been looking at that combination for 9 years.

Those bad (inconsistent) mechanics and the pressure of the nfl are not a good combo.

Cam seemed to make it work for him a couple of his seasons.

Simmons or Brown would be a great pick but I totally disagree with Okudah. He is by far the most talented Cb in the draft and it’s not even close. Rhodes would be welcomed as we literally have no one other than Jackson, but he is declining and would be a one year rental. The league has become a passing league which is why it is important to take talent at CB, and someone like Okudah could compete with the amazing WR we have in the south. Over time he could be much better than Bradberry or Norman.

Let's place a bet between whose career ends up being better: Cam Newton's or Justin Herbert's. You take Herbert.

Cam made up for it with his size and running ability.
