Do you think the panthers will not budge with #1 pick?

I know JR said he wants a face to the franchise and will probably not trade #1 pick. So with all this talk of Harbaugh possibly going to SF and other teams wanting him (Luck) real bad. Do you think JR can withstand the pressure of every pick in the world being thrown at you, just so you can possibly draft your franchise QB and be set for 10+years?

I know they said that. But come draft day and with many teams wanting him and throwing picks at you like candy. I hoping they say no to everything. Maybe they will have Luck locked up contract wise before the draft?

If they're smart they'll negotiate a contract ahead of time. Even if we do lock up Luck before the draft we can still trade him though.

I think we keep the pick. We cannot dump that pick AND sign a coach from the same mold as the one he just fired and continue telling everyone that we're committed to winning IMO.

I can (and will continue to) justify going with a defensive coach as long as the coordinators are good and allowed to coordinate. I can justify a supposed lack of interest in Harbaugh (who wasn't coming here anyway apparently) because despite our fervor it's not in our FOs blood to hire a college coach.

I will not be able to turn the other cheek to dealing away the #1 pick if Luck declares or not being active in FA to address areas that could not be addressed in the draft. Not that my individual opinion matters but I think that would justify everyone in the national media who has thought badly of the franchise.

Depends what the 49ers offer. We'd be very stupid not to at least listen to their offer.

Hurney wouldn't consider or even hear out offers for DWill or Smitty this year. Probably will go the same route here, even if some team is lined up to offer us their 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks for the next 5 years.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
