I would love to see us get an Aaron Rogers later in the draft

He was drafted what...23rd? Some knocks on him being a system QB etc. The guy sat for 3 years and look at what he has done the last 3 as a starter. I think very quickly he belongs in the Peyton manning/ Tom Brady discussion as the best QB in the NFL. I watched his PC they had on NFLN a little while ago, damn good guy all around.

Point? We don't need THE #1 pick spend on a QB to get a great one. There are some guys later on I think can be good if we give them a couple years. But if we don't trade down I think the pick is Defense hands down with this new staff.

This.

Hurney spent 8 of the last 9 drafts grabbing guys that fit specifically into Fox's scheme and were also guys that Fox wanted. Does anyone think that he is really going to do any different with Rivera?

He was picked 23rd because no team besides Green Bay needed a QB at that point. I remember because I won a bet that he would drop and be picked by Green Bay at 23.

Who's gonna play for the 3 years while he sits on the bench?
Farve.

BOOO!!!!!

I wonder what Rodgers' rookie year would have looked like had he been put on a crappy team with no veteran leadership, a makeshift offensive line, and Jeff Davidson calling plays for him. And forced to start.

Actually, I'm positive that several of you would have seen his potential and declared him elite. Because that's how you roll... :D

....and no running game whatsoever for at least half the season.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
