If we draft Marcell Dareus

[panthers55]

I don't know Delhomme's record as a starter off the top of my head but I would say he is a winner.

Delhomme had no season with the circumstances that either of QBs had to deal with this past season, sorry.

I would say the 2004 season was as bad as this year. We lost a bunch of veteran starters and played with a bunch of backups starting off 1-7. Difference was that Jake put the team on his back and made a great run at year's end.

It may be easier said than done but I would be willing to bet that the coaching staff could work wonders on Fairley.

Everyone flips out just because a guy is built and had an impressive pro day. If pro days when Super Bowls then I would say sure go with Dareus or Gabbert.

However, since they don't I would like to see Newton or Fairley in a Panthers uniform next year.

Just the fact you think its about his pro day shows you are one ignorant person who needs to shut their pie hole cause you don't one 1 thing you are talking about.

If not Dareus or PP7 then 3.14

dareus or PP

Would anyone be opposed to trading our 2012 first so we can have Dareus and PP?

NO MORE trading away our next years first round pick! Espc now..... since they will still need a QB and there would be no chance of getting one next year if they had no #1 pick.

If the CBA doesn't get done, then we can't trade future picks away. So I guess it doesn't really matter.

What do you mean "if" we draft Dareus. It should read "when"

we draft Dareus. We will be getting a starter from game 1. He

will be eating up QB's and stopping the run, he will tie up 2 blockers

and free up our LB's. He will be making plays period. He would benefit us

greater then any QB in this draft class. The only QB i'd consider is Gabbert

but Dareus>>Gabbert and Newton is a joke.

The only reason I dont like the Darius pick is because I dont think there is anyway he lives up to the 1st overall pick. I dont think he is as good as Suh. if anything he will be statistically more like McCoy. I know in last years draft everyone said McCoy was the pass rusher while Suh was the more balanced but during the season Suh stopped playing the run as well and became mainly a pass rusher while mcCoy focused on not making mistakes so he played the run.

All I am saying is that if we hit on a QB it will have a much bigger effect on our team than it would to hit on a DT.

Yes, we can. It is just "at your own risk."

That said, I wouldn't want to anyway.

Take MD number 1 overall and hope that Mallet falls to the third.... Mallet has the arm to get it done.... Hell all this staff is looking for is a QB with a big arm to complete those mid to long passes anyway...
