Was the year that 5 QB's were taken in the 1st round. Only one of them panned out with any success. Donavan McNabb.

The other 4, Tim Couch 1st, Akili Smith (one year wonder)3rd, Duante Culpepper 11th, and Cade McNown 12th, could all be considered to have been taken way too high.

This is a similar year in that there are several QB's being talked about, argued over, debated and such but none are a slam dunk. Emotions played a part in many teams who needed a QB, drafting one well ahead of where they should have been on their draft board. Most teams ultimately were hurt by this.

If the Panthers at No 1, do like the Browns and pick a QB just because they need one, when he will definitely not be on the board that high, then i am afraid we will end up like the Browns who paid for the move for years and years.

The best bet is to try to create the same environment that was around in 99, and have someone, like AZ, switch places with us and give us their second.

Second round is the place where most of these guys belong anyway.

At 5, take Green, Dareus, Miller, or Peterson, all who would be worthy of pick 5, and then, if need be, take Mallet in the second. He is just as risky as the others, but he has great skills, especially for the run first offense we will run.

Best scenario, a month out.

What is your best scenario?

why is it you're scared to take a chance if you think the team would be better if it took someone other than a QB at #1?

it's not like this is our only chance to land a qb *ever.* Hopefully it's our only #1, but other teams have shown that you can draft a QB after #1 and they can still turn out better than just "game manager" or whatever the fear is around here.

At least he didnt steal any laptops eh?

You're obviously apart of the Cam smear campaign and he BOUGHT a stolen laptop, didn't actually STEAL it.

Can't believe you're actually trying to justify snorting cocaine over buying a stolen laptop

Incompetence eh?

The 1999 draft is nothing like this One. For one the 1999 draft was said to be a great quarterback class at the time. Infact most people said it has the ability to rival the 1983 class. The 83 class was said to be the best ever and since most see this years class as bad, it far fetched to say this is as good as that one. Akili smith himself said he wishes he had half the athleticism of newton. Part the reason for smiths downfall was off the field problems and low work ethic.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
