David Newton's tweet deserves own thread

I expect that to be a big part of the discussion.

Fitterer mentioned that if you really like a quarterback, you need to go get him.

But then also said that if you're going to make that kind of commitment to a quarterback, you absolutely need to have conviction on him, not just general belief.

So like I said, I think those discussions happen over this weekend and next week becomes "sh-t or get off the pot" time in regards to Carr.

IF we get Carr, I hope that we don't go after a QB at #9. We have too many holes to have the top FA QB, one of the top draft QB's and a drafted QB from last year that never played a snap of meaningful football. Way too many resources tied up ay 1 position even if it is the most important position.

If we do sign Carr our defense is gonna need to show out and the offensive line is gonna have to play the best it ever has. 
Because Carr ain’t gonna scramble and create opportunities.

I am looking toward the future and I don’t see any Super Bowls with Carr at QB. 

 Don't look now but you just made an indirect compliment about your sworn enemy Sam Darnold.  😂

Just say what you have to say in a nice way.

Just for some posters, I had to make it a rule to stick to panthers/NFL. Plus a couple of posters have fewer rules than others, very unfair to see a thread made at the similar times and early one gets lock'd........ Just need to finish before I even get my high blood pressure higher, hate hypocrites. Let Travis "thee rock" kelce end this before i get caught up....

Huddlers seem to be zeroing in on the David Carr or Sam Darnold parts of David Newton's tweet, but neither one bothers me. It's always been about value as far as I'm concerned. 

David Tepper emphasized that we needed to be smarter with our resources. I don't believe that we're going to win any Carr battle based on that alone, and we may not end up with Darnold if the market gets too stupid, but it's all about the money, and I could see Darnold being a better value than Carr in their respective roles (one a starter, and one a bridge starter or legit backup). 

All that being said, we are obviously surveying the scrap heap for possible treasure---you know, the "one man's thrash thing, giving serious thought to the draft prospects of course, and keeping Matt Corral in our hearts and minds. 

Some may not like the tweet, and hope that Newton is full of poo, but it's actually music to my ears. 

 

And one more thing: Gardner Minshew, come on down!

We need to bring back 

 

Or at least get a mid-level reporter to cover the Panthers

If you're referring to the Richardson thread...

...and it ultimately was fixed.

Its among many others, I still remember Jeremy locking threads only to start his own......same as the one lock'd. That was during the "IF YOU START A THREAD :< THE TITLE NEEDS TO BE PERFECT1!!!!1!" Of course like many of the rules, got enforced then gotten about shortly after.

I can't speak for Jeremy.

For myself, if I start a thread with news that turns out to be fake, I expect it to be locked.

Likewise, if I start a thread with news that someone already posted, I expect it to be merged...or locked. None of that's an issue.

Today's news just wasn't confirmed until much later, but in the end they were right.

I don't see us drafting a QB if we stay at 9.

I get the impression that they will trade down if they cannot move up for their 1st choice. My initial guess is if they sign Carr they trade down and go TE and WR. Probably try to get a qb in the 2nd and go defense from there.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
