So because there are no QB's in this draft who can play right away, we shouldn't draft one?

If someone told you that in 5 years Cam Newton would be an elite QB (but it would take him 5 years to get to that level) would you still feel that way?

No. I don't give a rats ass about 5 years from now and neither will 99% of the paying fan base. I tell you what, don't charge fans for the next 5 years to wait till he gets there.

LOL, well there's an enlightened perspective.

If you think Cam will be an elite QB in 5 years, you draft him - no question.

Its the truth. Fans don't want to pay to see poo for 5 more years and wait. Do you not read and or hear the whining and bitching going on right now? And you want to wait 5 more years?

And there is nothing at all that shows this kid will be anything but the next great bust at QB.

Good thing we don't draft based on fan sentiment.

...and there's nothing besides glowing endorsements from Trent Dilfer and Warren Moon you mean, right?

And there were many for Russell, Young, Leaf etal. Those endorsements mean nothing. and Fans like you are why NFL teams don't listen.

I'd love to know how you can be so sure of this?

History and fact. History shows these 'dual threat' QB's like him don't make it. Fact is the kid played in the worst system in college football when it comes to getting QB's ready for the NFL. He has a very questionable past which shows bad character and the guy is a one read, run QB who has one good season in D1 football.

You mean like him and Michael Vick, who was a strong MVP candidate this year?

      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

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
