Should we look at Locker?

Jake Locker misfires just twice at Washington Pro Day

Our old friend Tony Softli thinks Locker has made himself into a top ten pick.

I don't believe for a minute that the Panthers will start considering Locker inthe equation this late in the process given that they've ignored him up till now...

...but stranger things have happened :sosp:

The question is, in your opinion, should they?

My only thing is the kid was the #1 rated QB going into this season, many had him a close 2nd to Bradford last year, so what happened?

To me he is a kid if you just sit on the bench a year and work his ass off on becoming an NFL QB, working footwork etc then he has a damn good shot at being successful in the NFL

Absolutely! I think he gets foolishly overlooked and he brings a charisma that reminds me some of Delhomme.

I would not however, want him as the #1 overall pick or our only 1st round pick.

I would drool if we traded appropriately to have Locker (in the second or first) and a defensive stud such as Dareus, Peterson, or that Corey guy from Illinois.

I would also take Locker or Mallet over Gabbert or Newton ANY day. I fear Gabbert and Newton have BUST written all over them.

He's the same athlete that Cam is and a better passer.

I don't want any QBs (unless Kaepernick in the 5th) but I've had Gabbert, Locker, then Mallett/Newton as tied for 3rd and 4th.

It's just not a good year for us to take any of these QBs

What's wrong with Ponder or Dalton? You don't think either one of those guys could develop into something good?

I think I share your opinion that there isn't a QB in this draft who would be ready to start as a rookie. At least, that's my opinion...

Well I figured those two QBs would be gone before the 5th round (I do think Colin is gone by then too) but I don't see a point wasting a 1st, 2nd (if we get one), 3rd, or 4th on a QB this year.

I would taken Kaepernick in the 5th because I feel he's got a lot of upside and in the fifth round, there isn't that much of an investment so if he doesn't work out it's not biggie. In rounds, 1,2 (if we get one),3, and 4 I want to get players that can contribute.

I feel Dalton and Ponder would need some work and I don't think their ceilings are that high.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
