What Will Your Reaction Be, If Panthers Decide to Take Newton #1 Before Draft?

I know he has a lot of the huddle divided as to whether people want him with the #1 pick or not, but I'm really starting to think unless Gabbert comes out of his pro day looking like Peyton Manning that we're gonna pick Cam. Rivera seems enamored with him, and we're obviously showing a lot of interest while doing our due diligence.

That being said, I'm actually looking forward to us proclaiming who will be the #1 pick before the draft and working out a contract with him prior to the actual draft like many other #1s have done recently. Although I don't know if we'd be able to negotiate that contract with the current labor issues until they're resolved.

My question though: What would your reaction be if we came out and declared that we will be taking him #1 before the draft?

Would you be more disappointed if we waited until draft day to pick or do you want it wrapped up before the draft? Do you think it makes a difference?

I'll be disappointed, but will get over it and do what I always do when we draft someone.. hope for the best.

I wouldn't be disappointed with this one, but that's a good approach because as has been hashed and re-hashed here, Hurney has an excellent track record in #1s... now what he does after that is a different story (Everette Brown, Armanti, CJ Irvin, Attiyah Ellison, Eric Shelton, Dwayne Jarrett, etc.)... But, it seems he's on point with the #1 every year.

Guilty admission: I was really disappointed in the Beason pick and thought it was a reach... I am now his biggest fan and know that while I may be football savvy and know quite a bit about some players coming out, he is our GM for a reason and I'm just a talking head on a message board.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
