I will never support Hurney again. Right now all Cam is is a project that wont help us for 2-3 years. He is not a QB that can come in and help right off the bat. With the first round pick that player should be starter material from day one. Do I think Cam can succeed yes but like I said it wont be til 2-3 years before he is ready. To wish him starting this year is just asking him to fail.

I don't think Newton has enough negatives and he isn't a reach for anyone to be disappointed that we took him #1 overall. We know a few things...he has star power, which would inject a lot of life into this franchise both locally and nationally...and people seem to follow him, which you absolutely need in a QB. Jimmy Clausen is neither of those things.

After watching his pro day workout I won't be disappointed if we select him, and I can't understand why anyone would either. Its not like there is a clear #1 in this draft...we don't have a franchise QB...might as well take a chance on one, considering the successes of first round QB's lately.

My reaction would be

" so who are we taking in the third? can we some how get a 2nd round pick? "

dudes got potential to be great, can't be mad at them for taking that..... will it really suck down the road? I don't think so, I think he will be very good. IMO its either him or Gabbert. Which ever the organization feels gives them the best chance to win I'm with it.

Plus he would be a Panther at that point, have to root for him.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
