If you didn't realize today that our biggest need is for a stud DT...

Ok. I agree about the Suh factor your right 1st round DT is not there. But Jake had 18 INT's this time last year as a veteran! Jimmy has 6 as a rookie. He's just gun shy not terrible

I was just pointing out that his TD/INT ratio is worse.....and it is. In addition to that he has fumbled 8 times. So based on the good vs. negative....is he really being better than Jake?

i agree he is gun shy......I just don't agree he isn't terrible. he hasn't shown anything yet to have faith in him not being that. he has shown a lot of bad vs. almost nothing postive. The little positive people spin him doing goes hand in hand w/ bad things he is doing. (the thrown away balls for example).

Darth, I do agree with you, our biggest need isn't at qb, but the thing is Luck is a can't miss prospect if available.

We are still terribly thin at LB too, actually... or are you comfortable with Jason Williams, Nic Harris, Jordan Senn, etc?

Seems like a pretty short sighted assesment.

We're terribly thin NOW after 12 games and 3 linebackers on IR.

We're not terribly thin with Thomas Davis, Dan Connor, and Jamar Williams back. It's actually a team strength.

We could always use more bodies but we're not terribly thin.

You are wrong...

We can draft/sign QBs all day and night, and none of them will succeed with the team around them... as evidenced by the 4 we have played at various points this season...

Next argument...

you are right but there is no Suh and no McCoy in this draft, it would be a waste to pick fairley or Dareus when Luck is there. If we dont get Luck we need to pick the best player available which is aj green, or pat peterson to play free safety or corner. I see us addressing DT in free agency with Cofield or even Haloti Ngata if we get that lucky. I'd also like to get Prince Amukamara if we do a trade down.

he has a worse TD/INT ration than Jake did when he imploded for what it's worth. He also has 8 fumbles on the year.....he hasn't lost them all but those are all asking for it.

we all agree a DT is needed. But there isn't a Suh in the draft and we will have the number 1 pick. Can use the 2nd round pick on DT and the 1st on Luck. That should make everyone happy.

u traded your 2nd-rounder to the pats...

Brees, Ryan, and Freeman aren't going anywhere. We need to fix the huge gap in QB play and maybe the rest falls into place.

the problem is that those guys dont have nothing to do with your QB...those QBs have to be attacked by your pass-rush...oh, u dont have any pass-rush....

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      Center/Interior Line at 19

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.

      Not unexpected: Panthers raise season ticket prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
