Panthers wanted Trey Lance in the first if they were going to take a QB. Also they had Kellen Mond ranked higher than Justin Fields after working with him in the senior bowl ,he was going to be the our first pick day 2 if not picked by the Vikings once that happened it started the whole trading down game because then it was about getting Sam weapons and protection because at the point they had to be all in. I hear this from a source who is close to one of the members in the war room. Also he said the bears was the only team close to offering what the Panthers wanted for the 8th but moving to back to the 20th would have had us picking a decent player but maybe not a player that could come in and have same projected impact as horn.....a lot of it makes sense but again maybe we may never exactly know how it went down.

They did joke about pickled eggs in Fargo.  When I heard that, I thought, "And there it is--the dead giveaway."

I like the way it turned out.  Darnold is going to ball out.

Every team wants players that other teams get.  No evidence behind your theory, but it is your right to share it.  Thanks.  I love this part of the draft--the after the fact drama etc.

Mond was taken at the top of the third round and we traded UP to select Christensen 4 picks later.

No dice.

I think it makes sense we were waiting for him to drop to us and be patient or move up when he was a bit closer, but our first day 2 pick was on Terrace when Mond was still there. So yeah I have hard time buying it too

Yeah that made no sense. We had already  traded down our first pick of the second day.  Mond, as you said, was taken after that.

If we wanted a corner, we could’ve traded down with Chicago and still ended up with Farley or Newsome.

Yeah I get Horn is the #1 on our board but it’s hard to know Chicago offered us next years 1st. That’ll be a top 8 pick next year

i think the moment we gave darnold the 5th year option was the moment that we were officially out of the QB market...although i suspect that we were probably out of it before but let the thought linger in the air as a smokescreen.

Chicago gave NYG their 1st next year. If an offer was given to Carolina, I’m sure next year’s 1st was on the table. 

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. It’s tough knowing they offered next years first plus some and we turned it down. Not saying we made the wrong choice, who knows but that Chicago 1st next year could potentially be Sam Howell if darnold ends up not working out… they should be pretty bad this year

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
