Albert Breer also has us taking Fields, believes Tepper is pushing for it.

Whatever we do, I hope it is Fitterer and his staff making the pick rather than Tepper.  It rarely ends well when owners that have zero scouting experience start making personnel decisions.  

AGREED

and I'm the biggest Fields proponent there is. This would set a bad precedent

Because you didn't think he'd be there at #8 at the time.

I said basically this same thing yesterday.

 

YES

Let's rewind the clocks to the day we traded for Darnold. There was a lot of rumblings from NFL insiders (not the media who keep touting Mac Jones) that the 9ers traded up for Fields/Lance and the Falcons were going to take the other prospect. 

Since then more stuff has leaked that the Falcons might love Pitts, etc. 

If you're in the Panthers you're stuck with either Teddy. Or waiting to trade for Darnold until the Jets can hold you up for a King's Ransom bc they KNOW you have no other options.

And that answer is maybe. We just don't know what they think of Sam. Guess we'll find out tomorrow if a QB falls to them.

If they pass of Fields or whoever at 8, take a tackle or whatever or trade back, and then take Mond, Trask, or some other QB in the second or later rounds, this place will explode.

For the record, if they don't take one early, I think the Panthers will take a QB in the mid rounds since the GM has stated he likes taking a QB during those rounds to develop.

Maybe, isn’t a yes. 

I hope that they don’t use a 2nd or 3rd on a QB.  Too many good players in those rounds.   I generally don’t care what they do after the top 3 rounds.

That works for my argument too.

Even Lawrence is a maybe. There is no way of telling until they play and that goes for Sam as well despite having NFL experience. 

I hope they don't take a QB in the second or third either, but they could, especially if they have doubts about Sam and draft a CB or whatever in the first.

Richardson was also reported to have told the team that Randy Moss was off the draft board.

Sorry, but any suggestion that listening to Jerry Richardson would have been a good idea is off the mark.

I think Horn is the only pick that would make me mad at 8 that has been kicked around.

As I was told by a supervisor years ago, "Be a duck. Just let it roll off your back."

I agree with that in the real world.  For the things that matter.  

sports is largely fun because you can get totally emotionally invested in something you have no control in and doesn’t actually matter.

As nice as it would be to land Fields I just have a hard time believing he makes it to 8. If we want him we may have to make a move. I guess that's the price you pay for establishing a little culture in a 5 win season.

We went ahead and made it a future 2nd to lock him in right when ATL says their pick was for sale (QB needy teams step right up and rivals will pay extra) and it still might be! Honestly Fields probably won’t be there at 8 and then we will be happy we have Darnold.

I don't really see us trading up for anybody.

Tepper= clown. He’s just Snyder 2.0.

You're wrong.
