No problem. Let me put it this way.

If we were drafting Burrow, I would be "Holy sh1t, we're getting Joe Burrow!

Now that it looks like we're getting Pickett, I'm like "Holy sh1t, we're getting Pickett."

Those statements are in no way equivalent.

I'll just say this...if we draft him, I hope they are right. I don't see it happening (him being the next Joe Burrow...I absolutely see us drafting him). It would be great, but I'm not counting on him being good. He's got to win me over (not that he or anyone at all should care about my opinion). I'm going to have to see sustainable good results for me to feel at all about him. I will not be disappointed. I refuse to be. I'm starting off at ground zero with him or really anyone in this organization.

I've got no faith in this team under this leadership anfld I hope they make me wrong because I'd love to eat that crow.

I definitely don’t think he is as good as Burrow. He has shown an ability to study film, work on himself and become much better than he was. His arm strength is average (similar to Burrow) and he go through his progressions while buying time in the pocket (like Burrow). Burrow is just wired different than an average QB. He rarely makes mistakes and stays calm under pressure. He is constantly working on becoming better (posted an article earlier on how he has increased his motion/velocity throwing from year one to two). If Pickett can be 75% Burrow he would be worth the pick.

I don’t necessarily think you were wrong about Mac at 3. I’ve read im a couple different spots that Shannahan was dead set on Mac but felt overwhelming pressure from his fan base and front office to take the freakish athleticism that Lance  provides. 
 

I don’t think it’s out of the question to say that Mac Jones on that niners team has them in the super bowl. 

His target was Lance, there’s no way he gives up that much future draft capital for a specific target and then change his mind.

Or just maybe teams opinions change as prospects get scrutinized under microscopes and leaks get out on who teams above them like as the draft approaches?

I mean they do, but a lot of draft predictors had Horn penned for quite a long time. On the other hand the ones with insider knowledge on the board were throwing anything at the wall to see what stuck, and still missed.

You’re wrong she said he was number 1 on board.

I mean, okay.

We were all here last year. The last prediction I recall from Verge was Waddle, then maybe Horn or the other big corner. It was pretty off considering how many other experts got it right.

Jimmy Clausen?  He wanted to trade up for Jimmy in 2010, which if he succeeded, would’ve been #1 overall in 2011.  Cam easily had the most talent in that QB draft class so that one was hard to miss after our historically inept 2010 offense.

 

but yeah, Hurney was great in the first round.  Cam was the only QB he hit on, though

Yeah, that rumor has been on the forum for 10 years, and still makes no sense, and has zero sources outside of this forum.

I still don't believe it. We stayed pat, we traded with no one, and Jimmy was there. We then dumped him after one season.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Panthers were the only team to call St. Louis Thursday night to trade up.  They didn’t have the ammo, but they still got their quarterback.

Yes, this article is the one someone posted years ago to prove how wrong everyone was.

The Rams had the first overall pick in the draft, and the first of the second round. The rumor was we wanted to trade up into the first round to draft Clausen. Not that we were going to trade up a few spots in the second round to jump teams.

Trading up a few spots for a quarterback in the second isn't a crazy idea, especially when Carolina didn't have one.

You have to remember that Pickles was highly touted by a lot of the media at the time. Even after his atrocious rookie season we had analysts on the draft night talking about how the Panthers should stick with Clausen.

The rumor was specifically about trading into the first round. Which would have been a bad move.

    • What worries me about Florida, is 2 things 1)Rod doesn't have a good track record against his former coaches in the playoffs 2)alot of our core group, Svech,Aho,Slavin,Jordan etc was apart of that sweep 2 years ago, will that motivate them, or have the opposite effect, make them overthink and beat them before they even take the ice  Toronto won't be pushovers, but they will be a clean slate, with no baggage  
    • Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.
    • If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?
