Kiper Mock 2.0: Mac Jones to Panthers at #8.

Recommended Posts

I havent lived in Charlotte in years and I have no sources within the organization at all.  The only person I know that even works there is a dude I went to high school with and he started in the ticket dept in 1997 and has worked his way up and around. 

 

Having said that I am not really close to him but I am close to his best friend and last night we had a high school zoom meet up to check in on a bunch of us.    Towards the end after a few people had dropped out someone asked the Panther dude about the draft and the team in general and he didnt say much about watson or the draft just the same general things you read here or online.  But he did say something that caught my ears, he said he has personally heard Rhule talking about mac jones and others in the building that seem high on him. 

Not sure what any of that means but thought it was telling that he went out of his way to mention Jones on this zoom meet up knowing we are all fans.

 

I debated even posting this but I said eff it since I hardly ever get anything close to "insider info" anymore.

 

Take it what you will but I am pretty sure its legit and not some elaborate counter intelligence or whatever.  In processing this I am thinking that maybe they believe that Jones can play right away and with the core on offense maybe we can do some damage.

wilson & lance played in the B league in college

jones played in the semi-pro league

im a lot higher on this kid than most of you

Jones played in the semi-pro league with 8 of the top 100 prospects in this draft.  He will not have that same cushion in the NFL.

Jones is B league with All-Pro nfl players around him. Yeah probably just you and that beerfacelegend guy that use to be on here are the only ones that are high on him.

He wasn't very good and cost us the bulk of the victories in the second half of the season. He just isn't capable of being a full time starter in the NFL. Damn good backup guy but not a starter in the NFL.

Okung was very good when he played. Little was fuging awful. I am not sure why he hasn't just been cut yet. 

I wondered that last year.  Yall kept telling me how good Little was and that I only needed to give him time.  I hope Rhule has a short string and that Training camp will be a growing experience for Little or we have wasted another draft pick on a Marty trade up.  Well I rather have Lance over Fields or Jones.  I just hope Teppers ego doesn't get in front of his brains an trades for Watson.  We don't need to waste number ones for an okay QB.

Trust me, I wasn't one on that Little bandwagon. I was against drafting him when we did and I stand by that assessment. 

I am fine trading for Watson. It's unlikely any of these QB's in this draft will be as good as he is, so I get the desire to trade for a surefire star QB. But, we aren't 3-4 years into our rebuild, we just got past year one. I doesn't make sense to sell off the entire team to get him.

BurnNChinn they thought the same thing about Delhomme in New Orleans.  Why they let us sign him away.  Any QB we draft is going to be thrown to the wolves unless we can pick up some solid OLine this year. We still need a tackle, center, and a guard.  We are a year behind since we went all defense last year.

That is a fuging nightmare scenario. Jones would really have to be a Tom Brady level competitor for him to rise above his below average to average NFL skillset.

I’m still in the trust rhule camp and will be on board 110% if he is the pick, that said this pick whomever it’s is will be the key or downfall to his tenure so I suspect they know this and will do extensive research on all fronts.   It will be a hard pill to swallow if it’s Jones over lance for sure but I think Jones can probably be a starter in the nfl.  A Kirk cousins or Matt Ryan

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
