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

[mav1234]

If we go offense, I would prefer AJ Green I think, especially if Smitty wants to go. Still going to need a veteran of some kind in there if he does I think but man we could have a killer WR corps if Smith stays.

Meh, not the choice I'd like but I wouldnt be upset with the pick. It would show me that they're atleast trying to do something about the offense. As long as it's not Dareus, Fairley, or any of them other defensive players, I'll be okay. I'd prefer Cam or Gabbert, though.

Beast but we have bigger needs

Yea, if green lives up to the hype (which im almost certain he will granted I played along side him in hs and saw how he takes games over first hand) and smitty stays, we'd be looking at WR1 AJ Green WR2 David Gettis/Brandon Lafell/Smitty (on downs where we are in I formation with no slot receiver) and Smith in the slot where he will be best utilized, like welker in NE.

Everyone hates on Clausen, thinks he will never develop into a serviceable NFL QB, but his performance was only 1 year so far in which he never had a chance to prove he was worth our 2nd round pick. I'm not a fan of Jimmy myself prefer Moore to be the starter, but answer me this, what if we draft QB with our first pick and he fails miserably like Jimmy did his first year, how will everyone be reacting come draft time next year?

Answer:

Haters-Cam/Blaine obviously was not the answer, and can never be a franchise QB in this league, we wasted our first overall pick on a bum!!!:eek:

Huggers-Well it was Cam/Blaine's rookie season, usually all rookies go through the struggling stage, Cam/Blaine just needs 1 or 2 seasons under their belt and eventually will become our franchise QB that we desperately need. (Not all rookie QB's adjust well to the pro game like Rapelisberger, Ryan, Flacco etc.) Which brings up the point of maybe we should give Clausen another chance to see if he can improve, before we bail on him and end up taking a potential bust QB with that 1st pick.

Drafting Green would make an overpowering WR core. Moore should be able to work with that pretty well. Smitty will still probably be the designated #1 though. AJ would still be a rookie.

I think as far as drafting Green goes it depends on what Hurney thinks of Armanti Edwards. He seems to really believe that he can be special. Drafting Green and keeping Smith puts AE on the back burner. They would have to decide on that first I think.

Man, i'll be honest. Smith/Green/Gettis/Lafell should be able to make even Clausen look good if we also have a running game of any quality. Moore will look like it's '09 again, if not better.

I'm liking that idea more and more, but I still think we have much bigger holes at DT and probably CB.

It is a good thing that wide receiver and corner don't require a lot of brains. Otherwise Green and Peterson would be out of the running. I figure it might only take a year or two to learn the plays. I jest, a little.

This is the way to go. I have seen all Green's games this year for Georgia.

He runs great routes,has great soft hands,can go up over most defensive

backs and has a smooth deceptive stride. He would be our best receiver

This would be a good move and give Clausen another year at least.

Receiver is the same as quarterback for us.

Young enough already. No need to get even younger.

It is different. WR adds another much needed weapon. QB doesn't add anything because you can only play 1 QB.

It also adds yet another young guy to a group that has less than a year's experience between them, and likely necessitates getting rid of the one guy in the bunch who actually does have any seasoning.

We spent three draft picks on receiver last year. If we need a new receiver, it should be a free agent, not another young'un.

It has nothing to do with youth. It has everything to do with talent. Guys like Dez Bryant and Mike Williams dominated from day one. AJ Green is better than both.

Its not about getting younger. Green is a prototype #1 receiver. Do we think lafell or gettis is? How much longer can smitty go? Plus contract wise it makes sense. Green as our number 1 after smitty is gone, and come contract time for gettis and lafell re-sign the one worth the #2 money. Obviously I've supported this idea all along

Yeah we can get rid of Edwards, that was just a stupid pick and he has not contributed anything, so that pick is irrelevant now since it was garbage.

WR's can dominate from day one, unlike rookie QB's. If you have the chance to grab a Randy Moss, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald from day 1 you need to do it. Great QB's don't dominate atleast until their 3-4th year while WR's can from day 1. It has nothing to do with youth esp at the WR position.
