Fiz's 7 point plan

[Fiz]

I think Clausen should just start the rest of the year regardless of how he plays. He'll either get better and we'll have us a QB or we'll know we need to use our top 3 pick on one.

Let me save you the suspense: the Panthers need to spend their top 3 pick on one.

if you don't want a QB, the only choices are fairley or peterson imho

marcell dareus??

It's just hard for me to judge a rookie QB's performance with what we have to work with on offense.

If Luck isn't available I wouldnt have a problem with them drafting DaQuan Bowers. Is like them to sign a starting defensive tackle or two like Barry Cofield and Brandon Mebane. That would make our defensive line a strength again.

I also think Billy Volek, James Jones, and Jacoby Jones all are free agents.

Why oh why could this not have happened last year when the draft was actually good.

Big fan of Frazier fo sho.

If possible, trade down to 5-9. Try to nab a 2nd rder(or 3rd) along with that pick to add depth.

I agree on a FA WR and I would also toss in a FA CB or SS. We are always too young back there and it bites us.

Get a steady and solid FA QB(sounds familiar) and trade one of the qb's we have and I TOTALLY agree on Clausen being horrid. Said that a few weeks ago and even more so now.

I agree with del that we need a lineman. We can get a solid one in that 5-9 range and if we are able to grab another pick, use that to fill another hole.

I do hope we do NOT go after a retread coach. I posted some time ago that the odds of the re tread taking a team to the SB is low.

Based on the way JR has done things tihs year, I imagine he goes young at coach and this is his reset for the franchise the next 10 yrs.

we're getting like a 3rd pick. Luck might not be be on the board

I think we will have the #1 pick.

Bills are losing some close games and can score...they will win a couple.

We will NOT win another game.

If we can't get Luck, I would take Patterson. Guy is a beast in the secondary and is a fantastic punt returner....two birds, one stone.

It's just hard for me to judge a rookie QB's performance with what we have to work with on offense.

You can't fix release point. You can't fix throwing motion. You can't fix release.

I continue to be amazed at how terrible all of these things are for Jimmy. I'll admit I only really watch SEC football so I never saw him play that much, but it's incredible.

Yeah this is a really bad draft to not have 4 2nd round picks in.

But it is incredibly top heavy, and I think the Panthers would be better suited to go for the long ball so to speak then try to trade down. You run the risk of missing out on prince, peterson, and fairley. It's not like that DE from Clemson is going to play for this team.

marcell dareus??

Not in the top three

[scpanther22]

Not in the top three

my response was to fiz having Nick Fairley on the players we must take but not Marcel Darues.

Hey Fiz, does the plan include what to do with armanti Edwards? If we bring in. Another receiver or two there may not be room for him?

[Kevin Greene]

Zod's three point plan....

- pop open a cold one

- drink

- insert hand in pants

That all depends on what the future coaching staff wants to do with a player who lacks ideal size and strength and isn't ready to contribute at any position in the NFL.

Honestly it's pretty inconsequential. We're not losing because of Armanti Edwards.
