Schefter Per ESPN Insider: Sources Say Carolina Goes Cam

Recommended Posts

To be fair Gantt and Sorensen have seen saying it for ages.

While Reed and Person say otherwise and Yasinskas bounces back and forth. It's all speculation. None of them has a clue.

What makes Schefter look dumb though is saying this right after Rivera makes a public statement that the decision isn't made yet and won't be until the week of the draft.

Meanwhile, on radio Marty Hurney explains that the pro days have just ended and so the scouting department will only now begin getting together to hash out the draft board.

So the decision's not made, the group that will hash out the decision hasn't met yet, it's all being run by a GM who prefers to have every last shred of info in place before making a decision, but Schefter thinks he can predict now which way the team is leaning, and for that, people pay extra.

Oy :nonod:

In the article Schefter does indicate that he was leaning Gabbert until "what he heard today" (whatever the F that means) and now he thinks Cam is the guy...

and in other news, my boner is official... not in a homo way... in an "excited about the future of our team" sort of way.

yes he had to have heard something credible to get off the media fest of blaine gabbert.. it's the same thing that happened with gantt, before the super bowl newton was in the 0% chance of being drafted by us in his eyes..then the more he hears and sees it becomes Newton being the top choice. Clayton used to believe we loved Jimmy but then changed his tune as well but also picked Cam as our top choice.

At the very least it makes you wonder. The guys with "sources" are usually having us go with Cam but the Mock Drafters pick Gabbert(Steve Reed's post the other day was largely saying support was dwindling for Cam in Mock Drafts not with Panthers FO).

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
