Person projects Gabbert (5 weeks out)

I saw the headline in the Rock Hill Herald and I thought, "Finally Gantt has opened his mind a bit to realize that Cam Newton is not the only possibly QB in the draft." Last week, when the Panthers went to Mo. and had a private workout with Gabbert, something I thought was newsworthy, Gantt steals Gabbert's thunder by printing a front-pager about how Dan Reeves thinks we should take Cam.

Not newsworthy. Who cares what Reeves thinks? I feel that Gantt is so biased (A Edwards last year) that he makes a statement early and spends the rest of the time trying to campaign for the player he endorses.

This reminded me of the time the news was to be released that Clinton lied about Monica Lewinski and he ordered some country like Libya bombed.

Then I read that Person wrote the article. It all fell into place.

he didnt steal anybody's thunder. i do want a qb and if Gabbert is the man, il be content with him.

Think about it before you say Gantt didn't steal Gabbert's thunder. At the very least he pimped Newton because he didn't think Gabbert was in the picture at that time; he said so. The Gabbert workout was an AP news release. The Reeves article was crafted by a Charlotte reporter about a retired coach who was never affiliated with the Panthers. Cam photo and big headlines. Front page news? Hell No. News at all? Hell no. Timing--the day Gabbert works out--coincidence? Hell no.

I agree with the QB comment. I would also be content with Newton if we take him, but how many articles have you seen from Gantt on Gabbert?

It was interesting that someone at the Observer is now behind Gabbert.

Out of curosity, how do you feel about trading down and drafting Ponder, Locker, Kaepernick, or even Mallett (doubtful) in the second round? Is the difference between the top 2 and these QBs that huge?

Media conspiracy theories are lame.

As a reporter, shouldnt he cover all of the top candidates we might draft? Look at his history--a dozen Cam articles, a few about fairley, Peterson, etc. NONE about Gabbert.

If everything they write gives everyone on here ammo, then it is worth looking at the validity and objectivity of the source of info.

Nobody has to like it.

    • So for now Coker, our 2nd year UDFA, is by default the most reliable WR on this team?! You serious, Clark? You know he is low key celebrating this. Until Tet takes a true NFL snap, Coker has the highest floor in the team as Tet is an unknown. I feel like Tet will be a dawg for us, but again, it’s still an unknown.  Knowing that Thielen was out may have influenced them keeping Moore. It’s going to be fun to see this play out. 
    • See that's why so many convos here get into the weeds and contentious. Folks are more than eager to groan about a lack of offensive young talent then when we do have good young talent (two first round WR's and a young Jalen Coker) they say that talent isn't good enough. You expect top tier play from the moving parts within the offense at all times but you'll accept literally anything from the signal caller and call it progress. Doesn't make sense.
    • This is what rebuilding looks like. A 4th rounder and no salary? Smart GM.
