I'll pass, DT's or defensive players in general don't win Playoff games. At some point you've got to take a chance on hitting the homerun, with the 1st pick in this years draft now's as good a time as any. :)

Give the fans a reason to be excited, with good/above avg defensive production (especially considering how long we were on defense) and a defensive minded coach to improve us even further. I say you go after a player to improve what many try to sidestep as the NFL's 32nd overall offense. No defensive player we draft is going to help us offensively THAT is our biggest need. Space eaters can be found in later rounds. SF out :smash:

I could very easily see us picking Dareus, even after all this courting of Cam Newton.

I have my opinions on who they should pick, though even there I'm not really settled (back and forth between Peterson, Dareus at the moment; still think Fairley could be an option too).

As far as who they will pick, I'm not even gonna try and predict that, especially not this far out.

Fairley played a bigger role then Cam in the national championship....and Dareus is better than Fairley :)

True, I was not impressed with Cam in the national championship game at all...

The other thing Dareus has going for him is that he's not a one-year wonder like Cam, Fairley or Bowers.

I would if I felt like reading 157 mocks :lol:

Truth is, regardless of who the Panthers take, a significant portion of the fanbase will think they completely screwed up and should have picked someone else.

Over time, those factions may be proven wrong, or they could be proved right :eek:

(obviously, you wanna hope for the first option)

If we are going best player available it should be petersen...Dareus isn't really considered the top player by any means. Fairley is a one year wonder who has maturity issues and Newton is...well there is no use getting into that.

If we are going to take the player who could have the biggest impact I'd have to go with Newton. He could change this franchise for the next decade. Dareus, Petersen, Fairley nor anyone else could do that.

It depends on if you want to run a draw play on third and long and punt...or you want to drop back and throw up a prayer. What kind of man are you?

It could very well be Dareus, but you have to think about Fairley 2. It seems like everybody forgot about him. But trust me he want fall there far from Carolina list. I know I wouldnt mind us taking a QB but in April if Ron Rivera is really serious about having a good Defense he might just get his stud DT in Dareus or Fairley. But I kind of feel that Dareus will be the pick. He is the only DT that can have that opportunity to have that Suh impact. Great against the run and his pass rush aint have bad. Very strong and stout and could have a long Career.

Also Mr. Scot on Mcshay new Mock Draft he have the Carolina Panthers taking Marcell Dareus number 1 now.!

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      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

      By ladypanther · Posted

      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.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
