Said speculation is that we will take Luck. Clausen was terrible this year. Luck might not come out, would be very similar to 1997 when the Jets had the 1st pick and Peyton Manning didn't come out. Changed destiny for two franchises.

This is really the most important question for Luck, if he really has a decision to make. The big question is who will get the #1 pick in 2012. Would he rather play for them, or the Panthers. Assuming there is a season, a lockout throws a big monkey wrench in everything, the likely candidates for #1 overall in 2012 are the Browns and Bills with honorable mention going to the Cardinals and maybe the Bengals and Raiders. Are there any teams on that list whom you'd rather play for than the Panthers? All perennial losers, repeatedly picking in the top 10.

From my point of view, it's a no brainer anyway. He's white hot. His stock won't get any higher by staying another year. He only risks losing. But if he's considering staying at Stanford, who would you rather play for? Given the options, I'd probably still chose to come out now and play for the Panthers.

The free chic fil a gravy train will leave sooner rather than later. Might as well take one for the team and get the Bo for lunch and dinner today. We need money for Luck, good HC, and sweet ass free agents.

*sigh* sign me up for a dozen bo berry biscuits and a family meal

Plz elaborate, and PM me on how to get on board this cholesterol train.

The biggest difference between the Manning/Tennessee situation and the Luck/Stanford situation is that, at the time, Tennesse was in the mix for a national championship every year and they were reloading and not rebuilding, so by staying, Manning thought they could possibly win a national championship (and they did the year he left, as someone already mentioned). What Stanford did this year was great, but reality is that it won't be duplicated and, with what they're losing, it's doubtful that they would be in the national championship picture.

Bronco's should also be in discussion with new coach and perhaps The Golden Calf of Bristol at helm. Plus he likes playing for Cardinals

there's was also a segment with kordell stewart ranking the coaching vacancies. Shocker - he put carolina at the bottom. Called smitty "steven smith" and said we need to shed high salary players in the rebuilding process, which will undoubtedly take at least 2 years.

what high salaries!!!!!

i cant see Denver getting the top pick yet, what if The Golden Calf of Bristol shocks everyone and is good???? to me the team who gets the top pick in 2012 is either Arizona (if they dont find a QB) or Cincinatti (if Palmer struggles again), or the Bills.

I about blew a gasket when he said we had a lot of high salary players to get rid of.. perfect example of the media being totally unaccountable to their word..

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
