Once January 15th is over, all college players declare (including Luck in this scenario). We are officially on the clock.

Now we will ether:

1. Sign him before the draft.

2. Wait til day 1 of the draft to pick him (scares me)

3. Wait til day 1 of the draft to trade the pick away (really scares me).

If we wait til the day of the draft to secure our future franchise QB it will mean (to me anyway) that Hurney believes he can grab additional picks and still work with Clausen.

What scenario would you guys like to happen? Because I don't even want to debate waiting til day 1 and seeing all the trade offers, I want to secure the QB position ahead of time and call it a day. Start the party early. Who's with me?

Gets in a car wreck.

Trips and tears all ligaments in knee.

You wait until the night before the draft to enter into discussions with the no.1 overall pick. Too much can go wrong.

The Panther should and will have contract discussions and agreements with several players leading up to the draft. They may even have a deal done, as much as possible considering the CBA situation, but will not make the official pick until the draft begins.

Why?

Because many things can happen in a matter of seconds and to put yourself in a position where you have committed before you have to is foolish.

However, if Luck declares and he is their pick, the Panther need to know if he is willing to come to Carolina or if he pulls an Elway/Manning. And they can do that in private but they need to know one way or another.

Yes, you wait until draft day. That way, everyone is talking about you until the draft. The Panthers get mentioned in every draft article written. If they publicly announce anything, the #2 pick becomes the #1 pick and we become an afterthought.

The smart PR and media thing to do would be wait and keep everyone guessing. The more the Panthers are mentioned, the more shirts and hats are sold.

But if you identify Luck as the chosen one and there's a CBA you work behind the scenes to get a dollar figure lined up.

The Panthers know where Luck's contract number will be. You have to have him on the dotted line so he doesn't miss one second of training camp. None of this holdout BS and late to camp and a year wasted thank you.

There is no reason why he would miss any camp. Talking to his agent earlier would not help things as everything works toward that camp deadline for negotiations to heat up anyways.

It would help if the Panthers and Luck agree on a contract number.

We don't want a Jamarcuss Russell type holdout/contract negotiation.

Not comparing Luck to Russell, just what can happen when a number one overall and a team don't agree on a number.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
