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.

      Canes vs Lightning 7pm

      Lil Stanky 100% in the dot tonight... And our 2nd line has been our best offensive line this season. Maybe our 2C really was on the roster this whole time...?

      BREAKING: Panthers re-signing Nick Scott

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      That’s a grade I kind of expected tbh. I’m not a huge fan of NS, but he’s not as bad as what the huddle says he is minus the horrible game he had vs the Rams. I’ve always thought he’s often used as a scapegoat. The improved pass rush should hide his deficiencies a little bit better if he’s the game one starter. FS might have to be a position we punt on this year unless Thieneman falls to us at 19. The reality is, you're going to have a few average players in certain spots for a team with as many holes we had before free agency started. You can’t sign everyone.

      I am by no means trying to say he's a world beater. I'm saying it's trending in the right direction. Especially when measured against himself.i think the team feel the same way or else they wouldn't have picked up his option. Plus I think there is a new idea in the NFL about these young QBs. Teams give up to soon. Browns gave up to soon on baker same with the jets on Geno and darnold. Maybe they are who you thought they were in the draft process and they need more time to develop than you originally planned. Either way. I do think he is as capable as darnold is as far as you can win a championship with him. And something he does have that darnold doesn't is he is clutch.  If I need one more drive and 2 mins to go I'm betting on Bryce and I am far from a homer, just going off his game winning drives. He has that dog in him on the last drive.
