With the QB situation as bad as it is in Carolina, and the possibility having the 1st Overall Draft PIck, do you think the Panther would take Andrew Luck if they have the opportunity?

Any team that has the first pick has to take Andrew Luck if he comes out, Stevie. The question is whether Luck will come out. No knock on Buffalo even though fans there will take it that way, but if a rookoie wage cap is implemented and you're Andrew Luck and you know you're going to Buffalo, is that going to make you more apt to return to Palo Alto for one more season? It very well might. Andrew Luck will get to see who has the No. 1 pick and decide whether he wants to go live and work in that city for the next decade.

Looks like there could be another Eli Manning/ John Elway situation...

he's got to strike while the irons hot. i can't see it getting much hotter than it is right now for him. if it gets any worse, teams will be intentionally losing to try and get a shot at him. :lol: at least this way he has a clue where he'd be going. if there is no football next year, then he'd have to rely on the lottery to decide his fate.

coming here wouldn't be as bad as going somewhere like buffalo/toronto or even staph city (cleveland). plus, what we've done here isn't all that far off from what he does at stanford. run heavy offense relying on big plays downfield...just not as sophisticated or well tuned as he's used to with harbaugh (i said that as a joke, but i think it's probably true).

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
