The way I see the draft going right now:

1 Jax- Hutchinson

2 Det- Walker 

3 Hou- Neal 

4 NYJ- Gardner

5 NYG- Ickey

6- Cross

 

You kind of alluded to it but yeah, I'd be surprised if it's the Giants picking at five. 

I hate the thought of losing Ickey one pick before ours. Just like last year with Sewell.

Of course there are those that want to stick with Sam.  That's only because of the choices we have been presented so far. I understand the logic behind it and I agree that it has merit given the most logical fate of next season. Call it tank or whatever but it is probably going to happen under a qb not named Sam Darnold anyway. 

Yeah that was my original point… You just said not a single panthers fan wants to see Sam on this team, and then responded to two people who were saying they wanted him. Reasons vary and none are for wanting him to win games for us. We’re all trying to find the silver lining and there really is none. What’s the dealio/point here?

We’re pretty much in the garbage next year rookie, trade, or whatever. Rhule is the coach and we all want this regime to end.

It was fool's gold. Then the truth came out and the truth looked a while lot like the same guy who played for the Jets.

I put the blame on Brady more then Sam. You can work in a predictable system and succeed in the NFL. Brady was supposed to be the wonder kid, but absolutely fell off a cliff in year 2.

You do realize he has stunk under four different OC's now, right?

No fan want Sam. Some fans want Sam to start to rub it in Rhules face.  They will probably get to see that unless Fitterer can pull a qb out of his ass.

Sam was just terrible. Our offense looked pretty legit with Teddy. We just looked like we needed a QB who was a bit more aggressive and better able to go downfield. Sam was just all around awful, like he's been his entire NFL career. He's a talented thrower of the football but he's not a QB. He doesn't have it between the ears.

No-one wins with the Jets. Call it blind optimism, but he's shown me enough good that I want to see what he can do with a competent coordinator outside of NY.

Come on now. How many seasons are we going to throw away to give this man another chance. Might as well try Josh Rosen or another QB that busted after a couple years. 4 years with 2 different teams and more OCs and still complete crap when a play breaks down.

Couple of things I'd point out here...

There's a real tendency among big Newton fans to take a look at any halfway decent athletic quarterbacks coming out in the draft and excitedly exclaim, "It's Cam! He's come back to us!".

Yeah...except it isn't, and he hasn't. And sometimes I really think people have forgotten just how unique Newton actually was.

The other thing I see a lot of is people looking at those athletic guys and saying "This is how we can finally get Cam Newton 2.0".

To that, I'd say that while some fans are looking for Newton Part Deux, I haven't really seen any definitive indication that the Panthers are.

So if you fall into either of these mindsets, you might have a pretty good chance of being disappointed.

I no doubt love Cam, but I'm not in either of those camps, Scot.  As I've stated here ad nauseum, Cam was a once in a lifetime-type talent before the shoulder injury.  We never saw a player with his size and ability EVER, either before or since, and we likely won't for a long, long time, if ever.  He was truly special.  Plenty of QBs have come in with the ability to run and pass, but none were ever able to do it the way he did, and he made it look easy.  It still bothers me to think, what if he never attempted to make that tackle because of KB's lazy ass?  He likely never hurts that shoulder and he's still slinging it 80 yards.  The fact he didn't even get hurt on the actual plays that many thought he would, but instead a worthless tackle attempt after a pick.  It's just sad...

All that being said, thate why I compared Willis more to Lamar or Russ.  I've seen the comps to Murray as well...  again, with the caveat being he develops further, but that is a big IF.  My bigger point in all of it is, if that happens and we passed him up even though we liked him because Rhule is on the hot seat and wanted someone with a lower ceiling but who could play immediately, thats an awful big flub for a guy who really shouldn't even be here still and shouldn't be given that authority considering.  

Not saying Willis will become great, but if he ends up a really good 10 year starter and we pick a guy who washes out in 3 or 4 years because Rhule is operating on his "dont get fired" timeline, then I have an issue.

I hope whoever we pick is the right pick for the future, period.  I dont know if Willis is that guy, but just saying he shouldn't be ruled out based off Rhule's fears of his own job security.  I was big on the Willis train the last couple of months, and I still like him, but I won't be upset at all if we end up taking Ikwonu (sp?) at 6 and picking up a Corral or Howell later in addition to a Jimmy G or Mayfield.  It's not ideal long-term for QB, but we don't have much of a choice this year, smh...

@Verge a couple questions

1. Which QB is Pittsburg targeting? If it’s Willis, and the scouting community is pretty sure that the Panthers will not be taking him, then why jump them? Or maybe their target is Pickett?

2. who do you think the Saints would be moving up for? And how likely is it that they trade up? I could see trading up for one of the tackles, or Corral.

3. Which teams could be potential trade partners for the Panthers?

Pittsburgh like Willis.

I am not sure who the Saints are trading up for. My sense is LT or QB. 

I'd say Chargers could trade up for us, but they want a tackle. Maybe if Thib falls someone could look to sneak up.

Is there any chance that the Browns and 49ers could hold out on trading those QBs to us for a lower offer than they want.  And drag this at least into the preseason, holding out hope for a playoff caliber team losing a QB to injury and get a better offer then.  Ala Sam Bradford.

I don't see it in either case. They both have other QBs that make that difficult.

Verge, in the event that Hutch, Walker, and the top 3 tackles go too 5, and we are unable to trade down, who do you feel we would select at 6? 

It would be a complete stab in the dark from me. You'd probably suck it up and take Corral or nab Thib.

So, basically everyone's mock draft.

Appreciate the support. Been pretty consistent on what I have said for a while.

From what you've heard, do they have him rated higher than Zion Johnson? I've seen Johnson's value climbing into the late 1st round, and he's the top ranked hybrid I've seen on a lot of rankings. 

They are pretty close honestly. They will probably go within 10 picks of each other.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.

      Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
