A.J. Green...Number-1 to Panthers?

So the latest mock has us taking Green @ the top, certainly wouldn't disagree with that move, he along with PP7 to me seem to be the MOST pro ready and talented at the top.

But with the lack of support around here for the "The Clause" would you be ok with them improving the offense around Jimmy to see what he can do with weapons and a less predictable offensive philosophy?

The thought of Smith, Green, Gettis/LaFell in the slots, Shockey at TE, our stable of backs, with a bit of AE in the "Wild Panther" and hopefully a cohesive and healthy line could Jimmy prove the haters/doubters wrong?

I can't say I wouldn't mind seeing this scenario play out...thoughts?

I really like Green as a receiver. He has some of the softest hands ever...when he catches, the ball just seems to melt into his hands.

But someone has to get him the ball to be effective, so I view him as a luxury pick at this point. We have much greater needs elsewhere.

who did this mock?

if we draft green it will be b/c smitty wants out and we intend on trading him once the CBA is agreed upon...that's the only way drafting him makes sense...i just don't see it happening...hurney just spent 3 picks on WR's last year...he's not gonna turn around and draft another WR with the first overall pick...not when we have far more glaring holes to fill

It's posted on NFL.com, I saw it this AM when I checked the App on my phone. As far as the WR's drafted last year, do you see any of them reaching a status comparable to #89? I really like LaFell and Gettis, not sure about AE because he hasn't played. I do not think they will be what Smith was as far as a WR who demands bracket coverage, they seem like #2's, and slot WR's.

Green on the other hand is reguarded as that rare talent in the realm of Moss, Calvin Johnson, has the size, and speed he's a "natural" as some would say. If you're going to have the first I could see a good deal of reasoning to select him. Worst case, we suck again, but we have our replacement for Smith, and we look to draft early again with another shot at a QB potetially.

An even deeper/improbable scenario, season's locked out and we get Green this year and Luck next year....WINNING!

ahh, here it is. was supposedly on Path to the Draft, Walterfootball reported it:

Charley Casserly's mock draft: 1) AJ Green. 2) "Marcellus" Dareus. 3) Patrick Peterson. 4) Blaine Gabbert. 5) Von Miller...

Charley Casserly's mock draft: 6) Robert Quinn. 7) Prince Amukamara. 8) Nick Fairley. 9) Tyron Smith. 10) Aldon Smith.

Charley Casserly: If I was betting on it, I don't think Carolina takes a wide receiver (so why mock Green to the Panthers?)

I really like Green too, I just don't see us going with him.

The 3 players I like most outside my homerism are Peterson, Dareus, and Green. I'd be fine with any of those 3, or a QB. I personally feel going defense is a better idea, but that's just me!

Here is another mock draft that has AJ Green coming to Carolina.

It's by the dude that ripped Cam Newton a new one.

Most interesting part of that Mock Draft?

Despite criticism of Clausen, there remains interest in the league for his services via the trade market should the Panthers give up on him too soon.

Get it done, Hurney. Get our 2nd round back!

and by "trade value", he means we could give someone a 6th to take him off our hands ;)

    • LOL! We have ourselves a funny one over here.  
    • That’s why I love Jake and always will.  He was so fuging gritty and definitely was a gunslinger.  Like a not-quite-poor-man’s Brett Favre.  Like an economy version lol.  He was damn good.  Yeah, he’d throw a pick here or there, but more often than not, I trusted Jake.  He’d make some throws that really made you think, “damn, he’s even better than I thought.”  I loved that he loved to gamble, but more importantly, he gave his guys a fuging chance to make a play.  When people have been criticizing Tet for drops, it pisses me off, because they say it like these are some gimmes that he’s dropping.  but, at about 6’5”, if your whole body is moving one way and you have to stop or slow down to come back to a ball thrown behind you, or low, that poo is not easy.  Bryce isn’t really giving him a chance, and I can see why he’s dropping them.  Versus if you look at this highlight reel of Moose: at about halfway through is when Jake stepped in.  The passes he was throwing are CRAZY.  There’s multiple passes in there where he is throwing across his body while running the opposite way - and he still had the strength to get it on target.  Then there’s the throws where he lasers it in a spot only the receiver could get it - seam routes, out routes, over the top. The longer you watch, the more obvious it is that so many of these (what should be basic) throws are completely absent from our offense with Bryce.  There was a play today where he started to scramble, kept looking, looking, looking, then just threw it into the ground near the receiver.  Let them make a fuging play.  His best pass of the day?  The long one to Tet?  If you re-watch it. About 10-15 yards further downfield, XL smoked his man on a post route.  You get maybe 3 chances at that a game usually, and when you don’t even attempt it when it’s there?  That poo is so demoralizing.  I can’t wait for Bryce’s time here to be fuging over.  If they cut him tomorrow I would feel free.  I would feel like I just won the fuging powerball.  If they signed Heineke, Perkins, White, PJ Walker, or Hooker to start the rest of the year, I would be fuging ecstatic like we just trotted Cam out for the first time.  That how fuging life-sucking Bryce is as the QB.
    • Aren't they about the same size too? Why TF are teams all of sudden drafting these small ass QBs that have an EXTREMELY low hit rate at an already extremely low hit rate position?
