There is logic in rooting against Panthers victories at this point

So what if we keep losing, go 1-15 and then draft Luck only to find out 3 years later he is Ryan Leaf. Does it blow this whole hoping to lose to hell. I think so.

Honeslty I saw him against Arizona State last Saturday and I was not impressed. Arizona State had a 2-4 Pac -10 record coming in and kept Stanford to 17 points. Luck put up lots of yards but didn't sustain that many drives and was poor in the red zone. Not many threading the needle passes but mostly thrown to wide open receivers and many short balls. Not bad for a quarterback but the number 1 quarterback in the country. Hard to see him as a sure thing.

He's no Matt Moore, that's for sure.

Why are you so afraid to shoot for the stars? Sure there's a chance he'll be Ryan Leaf, but there's a much greater chance he'll be Peyton Manning.

Let's at least TRY to hit a home run rather than figure out how we can go 9-7 rather than 7-9 like we usually do.

At this point I don't know if I have a sure thing pick right now. Lets see how they play when the bowl games come and the pressure gets ratcheted up. Luck like Newton have never played under a pressure packed situation. Remember when Clausen was deemed the best quarterback and as things got closer, it was clear who the real deal was with Bradford being above the rest. Lots could happen between now and next April. Folks who jump way too early for a pick with only part of the puzzle usually make poor choices.

Yeah I bet this is the same discussion that San Diego had in 1998. C'mon now lets go for Leaf and pay him 31 million. What have we got to lose???

Don't waste time with that other guy- Hasselbeck. Leaf is going to be worth it.

Leaf shortly after the draft- ""I'm looking forward to a 15-year career, a couple of trips to the Super Bowl and a parade through downtown San Diego".[6]

LOL

No point in winning if you can't go to the playoffs. The only people that should want the Panthers to win are Bills fans, John Fox, and Marty Hurney.

Pretty serious underestimation to me. I still have tickets to 3 home games I would like us to win. Tens of thousands of PSL owners likely think like me.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
