Id be happy with Arthur Jones if he fell. And maybe Rob Gronkowski if they go TE.

As an Arizona alum I would be doing back flips if we drafted Gronk and I'd be ordering his jersey within seconds of the pick being made. It took 2-3 guys to bring him down anytime he touched the ball, one guy just literally could not bring him down. There were times that he had multiple defenders literally hanging on to him with their feet off the ground and he just took them for a ride 5-10 yards down the field.

Having said all that he'll be going to a team that uses their TE more as a receiver than a blocker, he'll never get drafted by the Panthers unfortunately. He has Gonzalez, Gates, Witten type potential as a TE in the NFL, had he not been hurt this year he'd be looked at as a top 15 pick guaranteed, he's that special.

If this is the case, why did we draft a guy like Gary Barnidge? He's no great blocker.

He's also not the receiver that Gronk is, and Gronk is a good blocker as well, very well rounded. Now even though Fox hasn't used the TE as a receiver much in the past, if we got a guy like Gronk that would change immediately. He would open up the field for Smitty right away as they'd always have to have safety help on him or he'll destroy any LB who tries to cover him one on one.

Trust me, if he's still on the board when the Panthers first pick is coming around, there won't be a person in the world who's hoping we pick him up more than me, I just don't see it happening. Fox has one year left to do something, I don't think he'll take a player who he'd have to create a whole new set of plays for when we could use that high pick on another player who fits his schemes.

I will burn BOA down if we go DT, TE, DE and Golden Tate is still on the board. We need a freaking wide receiver with some talent on this team other than Steve Smith. Moose is a FA...do these people REALLY think we are going into next season with a new QB and only one legitimate receiving threat???

How many DL do we need to draft before this organization picks one they like to stick in the starting rotation? We have taken 5 DL in the last 3 drafts...get their asses on the field and stop wasting picks.

We better bring in AT LEAST one WR if not 2 that can compete for the starting #2 job.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
