anyway, in don banks' new mock draft, he has us taking Gabbert. whats more telling is this line:

Every time Rivera talked glowingly of Gabbert's "presence,'' or how much the NFL has become a passing league, I thought I sensed the direction Carolina's new head coach wants to go

im sure this is just him blowing smoke up our asses, so take it for what its worth

Newton has blown smoke up our asses 100000 times and he still has some smoke stashed in his laptop case which came with the laptop he stole. I'm tired of Newton threads.

Yet you're the one that mentions Newton in a Gabbert thread. Are you the one blowing smoke up our asses?

I'd really be suprised if Gabbert ended up being good, but you never know. If and to me that's a big "if" we draft I'd definately support him. Who can you really compare him too in the NFL? I honestly do know of anyone who's good that looked like him as a rookie. His production dropped when the star recievers left. You can look at ability on the chalkboard and that's a big plus, but what about when you're on the field. If you've played any sport you know there's a big difference from a workout(pro day) and game day. When the pressure is on he doesn't look like the confident QB.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
