31 other teams had a chance at this supposed "franchise QB" (some had 2 or more shots), some with much worse QB situations than us, and passed. Clausen was bailed out all year long by Tate taking the ball away from defenders, through double teams and turning dump offs into huge gains. All of this against that weak ass schedule ND plays. Way too many holes on this team to use our first pick on a guy that apparently has some serious enough issues to free fall from his media hyped top 10 spot to the middle of the 2nd round.

I'm shocked. This is a good draft so far. Sometimes you have to take chances in the draft. Armanti in the 3rd is a reach, (he was projected 4-5th round pick) However he has the speed and ability to be a good-great WR and KR/PR.

Lafell has some of the biggest upside of any wr in the draft. Good pick in the 3rd there.

Clausen is the biggest steal of the draft by far. He's a legit top 5-10 draft pick and some say he's a top 10 NFL QB. He was drafted with the 48th overall pick that's about a +40 on rating vs actual spot picked.

Forget who was picked If you were told a week ago that the panthers would snag the 2nd rated QB in the draft with the 48th pick, a top 5-7 rated wr in the 3rd and a KR/PR with 4-3/4-4 speed that played WR. You'd have been ecstatic.

He was passed on because of his attitude, not his skill.

And his attitude isn't a huge problem.

I agree. good draft so far.

I don't recall saying what the issues were, but apparently teams desperate for a QB thought the attitude was a big enough problem to pass on him, twice.

Right, if only we could draft with so much success as the braintrust in buffalo, oakland, and cleveland who have been very successful in the last 20 years. Oakland picked Jamarcus Russell first two years ago so that means they have an incredible eye for QB talent, right?

      Wilmington hockey?

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      Panthers Wideout Retreat - TMac Vlog

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
