Anybody ready to meet up and go out Heaven's Gate Style?

This Mac Jones poo needs to end

[top dawg]

So, we skip Trey Lance in favor of Mac Jones, who, in Keyshawn's words, has "cement in his shoes"?

Nah!

Man, idgaf what anyone says...  dude should not even be considered in the first 3 rounds, imo.  Definitely not the first, at all.  I just don't get it.

I mean, his BEST case scenario is Matt Ryan?  I'd take prime Matt Ryan obviously, but theres like a 5% chance he's even that good?  Would be about the most disappointing pick possible IMO. 

If QBs fly off the board, give me the #1 OT, WR, DE, DT, CB, whatever as opposed to the #5 QB.

Isn't Kiper the guy who was gonna call it a career if Pickles flopped?  I mean . . .

Yet, he has Lance going to the Pats at 9.  If he has some feel for what we like, and Rhule legit likes Mac over Lance, I will have some serious questions.

[Pup McBarky]

If the Panthers pick Jones, I'll be okay with it, given Rhule coached him in the Senior bowl. I don't think they will, and I definitely don't think they would with Lance still on the board. If Lance is gone, I'd rather they pick the best OT/CB there or better still, trade back and accumulate picks.

If Rhule does wind up picking Jones, he better be right. I think fans will forgive him if he picks Lance and it turns bad, but not Jones.

[LinvilleGorge]

If we take Mac Jones at #8 it's over. We're gonna flail around for 2-3 more years before the next blow up and complete rebuild with an entire new staff.

This mock is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s

Nah!

This pick just seems to go against everything that Rhule believes in as a coach. He was brought in bc he DEVELOPS RAW TALENT. That’s the the entire premise of his $60 million contract. So at the most important position on the field...he’s going to abandon that entire mentality and draft a guy who is basically a finished product athletically? Like do we really see growth potential in Mac Jones? Bc that is what Rhule is looking for...

 

There is no way we’re taking Jones 8th. We may take Jones in the 2nd if all the QBs are gone and we trade out of the pick or draft a player like Slater to anchor the line. But he isn’t going 8th. Not to the Panthers anyway..
