are afraid of taking chances in life. They are probably stuck in middle management...if they made it that far. Stuck in a no a where job. They don't dream. They are afraid of greatness. Their wives hate them and their kids don't look up to them.

they are the type people who are content w/ Jimmy Clausen sucking it up another year. My little boy is only a couple weeks old but if I told him Jimmy Clausen should have "another go" he would do one of those crane kicks from the Karate Kid and kick me in the balls. I don't know how the little sack of potatoes would perform such an advanced move but he would. Needless to say, would support Cam coming to Carolina!!

Difficult to work out if this is serious or not...

There are risks and then there are calculated risks. Those people that you claim that have achieved greatness through constant risk taking, are either very lucky or very calculated with the risks they take.

Is Newton a complete gamble, or are the odds on his side? History suggests his style of playing won't produce long term success, however the recent shift to mobile QBs is in his favor.

Unfortunately I don't see him as a mobile QB, once he takes his eyes from down the field he is only trying to do one thing. The great mobile QBs buy time with their legs and then throw. Cam buys time to create a running lane.

This also leads to people only stealing sips of beer and not the whole bottle.

Jk :D

...and people that take foolish chances don't even make it to middle management, they're living in a van down by the river.

It's easy when you're at the bottom of the totem pole to tell people at the top that they should take risks, when those at the bottom already have nothing to lose, maybe just a couple of corn crops.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By poorboysrev · Posted

      Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.

      IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
