Yes . . . or it's a smokescreen . . . or it's a DOUBLE smokescreen . . . or what if we act like we want Cam and we really do but we get talked into to trading out of the pick for an awesome deal, but then Hurney realizes that Newton is his one true quarterback and runs in the rain to Radio City Music Hall where he barges through the door and announces that he will trade all of our draft picks for the next three years to Buffalo, and all he ever really wanted was Cam. Then he walks up on stage and hands Cam a Carolina Panthers jersey. Roll Credits . . . what if THAT is a smokescreen?

Man the draft is complicated.

what if this is like that movie Inception and this is a dream within a dream and the Panthers are trying to plant the idea of Cam going #1 in the mind of Al Davis so he will give us his 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks for our #1.

LOL I was about to post the same thing. The smoke screen theory is a laugh when we have the first pick.

Considering everyone in the media is mocking it to where Cam Newton falls at least to 3 if not further, and tons of people are saying we're too cheap and invested in Clausen to go after a new QB (which is wrong, but they don't know that), wouldn't it make sense that our FO would claim to be really excited about players to try to draw interest in a trade?

This isn't just a smokescreen, but it can serve more than one purpose to be interested in Cam Newton.

What he says is that, the longer it drags out, the more likely Cam is to go 1st overall, whether it's us or someone else. He said if Hurney has a chance to trade down he'll do it, but that Newton has to make "more than one person fall in love with him" for that to realistically happen.

If that was true we would be talking up AJ Green or Bowers cause we don't need those guys. Cam Newton and Fairly are two players that are needs. Also everyone knows we need a QB and Newton is ranked #1. His stock is as high as it can get so No need to talk him up.

Correct. I think it is erroneous thinking to assume that the Panthers would take him first overall based on what was said.

If our chances of drafting Newton increase due to the CBA dragging out, then the same is true for Gabbert.

Remove blinders, folks.

Maock on NFL Network: If you need a franchise QB and you have Gabbert (for example) in the top 10 and he is your guy, you move up to the first pick to get him. He mentioned "and you are picking at #7..."

Funny. SF has a new coach who needs a QB, not likely to go after Cam, and they have fewer other needs than other teams in the top 10.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
