I wonder how this possibly being the last year for no rookie cap will affect JR's decision concerning a QB as the 1st pick
they will, out of necessity, most likely have the CBA wrapped up prior to the draft.

at the very least, it will be pretty clear if there will be a rookie cap or not and if there is one, it will go into effect immediately.

last year was most likely the last year of no rookie cap.

regardless, QB is obviously a huge need. something big needs to be done there. having said that, i seriously doubt that richardson will interfere with the selection process. he'll leave it up to hurney, just like he has before. he may set some parameters (like he did last year, apparently, telling him to not touch this years first rounder) but for the most part it will be hurney and the new coach making the decision.

one thing i will say, if the HC is grimm...expect a "safe" pick to be made and a philosophy very similar to fox's regarding QBs.

i swear if he doesn't declare, i would consider the panthers the most "unlucky" team in the NFL. I mean how often do franchise QB's come about (thats consider this good in the NFL) and you have the #1 pick, but the A-hole doesn't declare. Of course if he doesnt, some other team will suck more next year and get him. Then we will be the ones wishing he would have picked us. I swear, does everything bad happen to this franchise? Throw us a bone NFL gods and make the man declare.

It's going to be a press conference with typical "athlete speak" where he doesn't really say anything, then right after it there will be an 8 page thread on the huddle trying to interpret what he "really" meant....

All Luck hype is starting to feel like we're setting him up for failure. No one can live up to the expectations people are making for this kid right now.

yall need to stop actting like its the end of the world if he does not declare the're are tons of very talented players in this years draft
meh, it's really not that great of a draft. at the top there are a few good ones, but nothing (aside from luck) that you can say without a doubt that they should be the #1 overall.

last year was better.

of the non-luck/newton prospects i do like peterson and green, but in the top 5 there just isn't much beyond that impressing me. maybe bowers.

i agree that the're are not many guys in this draft worth a number one pick but that does not mean they are not talented....a guy like patrick peterson would be wonderful panthers defense

Stanford source: Luck leaning toward staying

http://scottfowlerobs.blogspot.com/2010/12/stanford-source-luck-leaning-toward.html

I'd take this with a grain of salt. The source obviously would like Luck to stay. I think Harbaugh is gone and that will give Luck the final push out the door. That said...I'm slowly preparing myself for disappointment.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
