Yes, the smokescreen is a real tactic...for teams who have to hope a player is their when they pick, not for the team picking 1st overall. Every team that is even remotely considering Cam Newton is doing their own research on the kid, so you're not going to fool them.

Good grief. You're right, we must make everybody think that Cam Newton is the pick, since that is the only way a team will have to contact us about trading up.

Then again, people with a half ounce of common sense can figure out that the Panthers don't have to give any indication at all who their pick will be, and those teams will still have to contact the Panthers first if they want a player that badly.:rolleyes:

What your not understanding is that the team itself might not care about Cam Newton as much as you want them too.

They could very well being trying to convince a team to try to come up and get Cam, because they think (gasp smokescreen) we want him.

I know you might have a hard time fathoming this, but we might not care that much about ole Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire..

It's a very REAL possibility, regardless if you want it to be or not.

The Panthers don't have to convince anybody of anything, except that they might draft any one of these players that they are visiting with. If a team wants to trade up , they can't afford to assume that the Panthers won't draft their guy, so they have no choice but to contact the Panthers.

Again though, if Cam/Gabbert is that good, then it makes no sense for the Panthers to pass on him in the first place because the Panthers need a QB as much as any team in this draft. And believe me, every one of these teams know how good or bad these guys are. It's not like the Panthers have a book of secret information on these prospects that no other team has access to.

Example: The Bills think Cam or Gabbert are a franchise QB. The Panthers do not. It makes perfect sense for the Panthers to pass on them.

If the Bills like one of those guys that much, then they're the team that has an incentive to lay a smokescreen to try and convince the Panthers and Broncos to pass on him.

Anyway, where do people get the idea that Hurney is more capable of working good trades than any of these other GM's? Yeah, he really showed the Patriots how it's done last year, didn't he?:rolleyes:

I'm not arguing that, but just because another team thinks they are that good doesn't mean the Panthers should take them which is what you said.

Well if another team thinks one of these QB's is that good, then why shouldn't the Panthers? They all have the same information.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.

      Panthers Preseason

      By countryboi · Posted

      Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.

      very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
