LOL, thank you!

If Luck doesn't come out, then I'm of the opinion that we should try to trade down and get a high 2nd round pick back. It will be much easier to trade out of the 1st or 2nd overall pick this year with a rookie pay scale on the horizon.

but then the huddle will have to figure out what to do with jimmy...again!

It is starting to look more and more like Cowher and Carolina might join forces. I think it has been the plan all along, why Cowher waited and why JR did not re-sign Fox and cleaned house--defensively for the most part. He knew the coversion to the 3-4 would be expensive. Then his letter comes out the same week Cowher proclaims interest in the league when only 3-4 jobs are obvious? We drafted Eric Norwood--how does he fit the 4-3? We drafted a former QB turned WR hybrid. Slash II?

This will influence the draft. After nabbing a QB, the Panthers will use free agency to build the D and an OL. JR has given Cowher a lot of room under the cap to build the D he wants. This also suggests (possibly) that Cowher will be given the power to make personnel decisions. I cannot be sure that he has not already been involved.

This is pure speculation, not based on anything but loosely-constructed circumstantial evidence, if evidence at all. When Marino made a comment about Cowher and the Panthers and later apologized, it suggested that there may be more to this than anyone on the outside knows. Does it make sense to anyone else, or do you all think I am on drugs?

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
