Fairley is one of the players that I really hope the Panthers don't take

just get a bad feeling about the guy

[Catalyst]

Yes, I've had a bad feeling about him all along. He's got all kinds of ability, but that means NOTHING if he's got that lazy/immature attitude, which he clearly does. I'm not even worried about the dirty plays; those things happen.

I just look at him and see a future bust. I just do, I'm sorry. And I don't think we'll take him because of that. He's EXTREMELY risky for a #1 pick and if you don't think that'll factor into the decision then you're crazy. How often have we taken players with characters concerns, work ethic issues, AND maturity issues this high?

Only one close would be Dwayne Jarrett in the 2nd round and he was MUCH less risky than Fairley as an overall prospect. I just don't see Hurney pulling the trigger on a guy with the many, MANY issues that Fairley has coming in.

Maybe if we were picking/considering him for a mid-1st rounder, but not 1st overall. I don't think so.

Sensitive much? I was referring to the prospect that said person might be our #1 draft pick, which is kinda sad for our future hopes of winning.

I know what you meant, I was joking.

Sarcasm is really hard to detect on the internet, huh?

Diehard Auburn fan here. I noticed y'all are worried about Fairley's "influences." Watch these highlights of him and that should ease your concerns..

2010 Auburn Tigers: Nick Fairley Lombardi Award Winning Highlights

Look at the highlights vs LSU, Bama, and Oregon...three of the biggest games for us this year. He took over those games.

Most people remember Cam's highlights against LSU and his "heisman moment" play is usually said to have occurred during that game bc he had over 200 yds rushing and a few TD's. However, it was Fairley that won the player of the game. He was unstoppable like so many other games.

Y'all don't have to worry about what you're getting with Fairley...he's a BEAST!!

I'm not concerned with the highlights...I'm concerned with the "low-lights"...the times where he disappears, seems to give no effort on plays, gets beat by a single guard with a lot less skill.

And don't forget he gets caught up in the wash on run plays.

this is literally the best post in the history of this messageboard.

Why thank you

Last time I checked Cam Newton didn't weigh over 300lbs.

Neither did JaMarcus coming out.

Give me non fansite/Bleacher Report proof of this

Fairley influences Jamarcus to come back work hard and be the franchise quarterback for the Panthers..

*passes joint*

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

This is similar to Vince Young who hung out with Pac Man Jones...just not ready for life guys.

Although if we do draft Fairley and sign Vince Young everyone will be "rained " on at Platinum Plus!!

I watched several Auburn games this year. I thought it was pretty obvious that he had the talent but not the work ethic and drive. As soon as a play got away from him he just watched. Actually reminded me a lot of Haynesworth. But at least he waited till he got payed.
