With all of this pointless debating about who we are gonna take at number one, I want to see who's with me in this regard...

I am completely fine and will be thrilled with selecting any of the following:

LSU's Patrick Peterson

Mizzou's Blaine Gabbert

Alabama's Marcell Dareus

Auburn's Cam Newton

Georgia's AJ Green

Auburn's Nick Fairley

Every one of these guys would be a very nice addition to our franchise and will no doubt play a major role in our ascent back to the top of the league whether it be in the immediate future or over the course of a few years.

So let's step back and realize this amidst all of these annoying back and forth's about Cam, Gabbert, & etc. At least try to be open about taking any one of these guys in the coming months and consequentially the draft will be much easier to absorb.

Sign up if you're with me

Cheers :cheers2:

So basically you are saying you're a fan of this TEAM and that you trust the guys who are paid handsomely to evaluate talent that they'll do a good job and pick the right guy?

Pretty much, but it seems hard for soo many people to actually admit

Given last year's handling of the draft, it's hard for anyone who is a fan of this TEAM to fully trust the guys who are paid handsomely to evaluate talent to do a good job.

Considering we have a completely new staff & along with our GM who has an above avg draft track record imo, I am fine with trusting them. You choose to distrust them and remain mad about last year's draft, I remain chill about whatever may happen because I know there's no way in hell I know what's gonna go down.

Just because Fox's lame duck throw away season didn't create stars outta every draft pick doesn't mean they can't still do well.

Draft picks can't be fully evaluated until 3 years out, sometimes longer.

The jury is still out on last years draft, even though admittedly the outlook isn't exactly positive. Lets give these guys time to suprise us before we bury them.

Let's also give Hurney a chance to draft without John "imsoconservativeidontdevelopyoungplayers" Fox. How was Hurney's last draft without Fox? :cool:

That's all well and good, but we still have the same GM... who arguably has a huge hand in draft strategy. And Fox claimed that he had little imput on personnel.

Yeah, but you're talking about "trust" here. You know what they say about it... being earned and not given...

And last years draft is not the only indictment against Hurney. He's made a slew of poor decisions over the years.

you are ahard man to please

I'm really a simple man who appreciates all facets of the game of football and don't get caught up in excitement.

Give me the best player to help this team win as soon as possible.

I'll let you try and convince yourself that player is Cam ;)

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
