What is it going to be next year? Are we going to hold the #1 pick again?

What's guaranteeing that the Panthers are going to be holding a high pick next year? I never understood the "Hurrff we gonna draft BPA then draft Luck next year Hurrff"

Is it something I've missed, or is it assumed that we're going to be in the drafting position to grab a top QB prospect next year?

I've never understood this faulty logic.

No matter whom we draft this year, we cannot sign them until there is a CBA. If one is not reached ( or imposed) by the 2012 draft, all this years draftees will have to re-enter that draft.(unless the draft itself is ruled illegal). While there is little chance that this will occur, it would certainly lead to a loaded draft next year.

Re: the bolded part above...I don't believe this is true. My understanding is they would still be on the books as the team's selection and would just need to be signed.

Correct me if I am wrong.

This is according to Gil Brandt on Sirius. Drafted players have until the next draft to sign or go back into the next draft. Undrafted players, who cannot be signed now either( although teams will undoubtably have wink and nod agreement,) would continue to be free agents and not go back into the draft.

This really makes sense when you think about it. If all a player had to do was refuse to sign with their drafted team and could become a free agent after a year, no 1st rounder would ever sign.

That would be wild. Seems they would then have to have the equivalent of a 14 round draft, with round 1A and 1B etc. through round 7.

Short of doing this doubling up, some really good players (i.e. normal 3rd to 4th round quality) would be falling into the free agent pool.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.

      Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
