Who should we draft with the #1 pick?

I say AJ Green. We need offensive playmakers and he is going to be a stud in the NFL.

I agree with you to a point. If Clausen can't hit a wide open David Gettis (or any WR for that matte) how is the situation going to change with a wide open AJ Green? However I do think trading down and grabbing AJ green is the way to go. We need someone to replace Smith in the future. And the fact that no other QB in the draft is 'guaranteed' to be an improvement over Clausen (not a Clausen fan btw). Luck was a guaranteed improvement. IMHO I think Clausen will improve next season, he will have a healthy O-Line, great running game, some good receivers with great potential coming along with him. And if Smith gets traded, we almost certainly have to grab AJ Green.

My bet is that Clausen probably won't be the one throwing?

Here is a tidbit from JR, making me think we are going to try to surround Clausen with as many weapons as possible (as I am sure everyone has read from multiple sources, there are a lot of people in the Panthers organization who are behind Clausen).

http://ttomlinson.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-talk-with-jerry-richardson.html

"He’s planning to change the Panthers’ philosophy. For years the team leaned on a tough defense. But now he says the NFL is so offense-oriented that offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches are nearly as important as head coaches. Richardson said the Panthers will hire a new head coach first, but then go hard at offensive assistants. And no matter the coaches, he says the Panthers are going to open up."

“The NFL has changed, in the last five years, dramatically,” he said. “We would be foolish not to stay in sync with that… We didn’t score enough points. First thing, they (fans) want us to win. But after that, they want us to score points and they want excitement.”

      Are all veterinarians this greedy ?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Like a lot of things in today's economy, market concentration is a huge issue in the vet space. Mars (yeah, the chocolate company) owns roughly half of them with their control of Banfield and VCA as well as numerous smaller chains. Oh, and all that Royal Canon food the vets are prescribing and recommending? Yeah, that's owned by Mars too. Don't even get me started on the racket that is "prescription" dog food and how incredibly uneducated the average vet is on basic pet nutrition. Back to the actual clinics... private equity ghouls who care about literally nothing but profit own another 30%. Now you're down to roughly 20-25% of clinics that aren't under the thumb of Mars or private equity.

      like any profession, a lot of them are very greedy and balloon up bills.  My buddy is a vet.   When he was first starting out he had BIG issues with the vet he was employed with because he was expected to drive up bills.    He now owns his own practice driven by that very reason.  Good man that wants to sleep good at night....doing what he set out to do at a young age (with the same reason in mind, to help animals and people).  But per him, a HUGE % of small animal vets are just gouging the f out of people.  like most things, I want the most mom and pop variety I can find.  The bigger practice, like most businesses, it more likely is owned and operated to make as much money as possible at the end of the day.
