Sometimes it's who you know...

I think people are grasping at every little thing they can to put stupid ideas in peoples heads. I'm sure in some way there is a connection on the team to almost every player in the draft.

Final word on Cam---he had 1 good season in the past 4---if you say differently, you are making excuses.  He wanted a "commitment" (long-term deal in the $30m per range). 

That would have been majorly stupid.

Tua would come at a much lower cost---worth the risk at $4-5m per season for 4 years.  Apples and Oranges.

Stop cherry-picking important details and put your business cap on.

TLDR

Teddy Leads Da Race....

There's a serious opportunity cost to spending a top 10 pick on a guy with a medical chart like Tua's. Opportunity costs are real costs.

Understood, but there is no comparison with Cam---Cam's deal would have been in the $70m guaranteed range for $120m for 4 seasons (guesses).

I get the risk, but they are not really comparable. 

That is all I am saying.

Sure, Tua brings risk. More than others.  The upside could be a ring and the downside could be a first round bust. 

But until we get an OL in here, I would not put him back there.

I was just telling a friend, don’t really care about any of the Panthers  players, 

losing Luke, cam, Greg, Thomas, Steve  and what has replaced them?

Christian is a great player  but even with him, in a tremendous season, they won five games....let me say that again, five games

teddy might not lose games but he won’t win them either 

if, big if, the Panthers want to make a splash, they go for Tua...give him a year and that way, when Teddy is the average QB, the fans can scream for Tua,,,keeps the interest up

doesnt matter if it’s factual...it’s called the big splash and keeping fans interested and planning for the future

just a different outlook on the owner, who likes to make the big splash...he wanted Rhule, he got Rhule ...why would he ratchet back now for a dlineman or a lb.  ?
 

Even if he thinks burrow is the answers to his prayers, go get him.  Why not
