From that article he states this

"Some have pointed to the Panthers' visit with Georgia WR A.J. Green as a smokescreen to cover their interest in Cam Newton."

Seriously? Carolina has gone out of their way to show they have interest in Cam Newton, Green is not a smoke screen. LMFAO.

Ok, I really need to know why would we need a "smokescreen", we got first pick locked in provided there will be a season.

Fug 'em, let the other teams guess or go into it brazen ballsy with the "we got first pick, if you want it, it will cost you dearly."

He's not saying "this is true". All he is saying is "some people have said this".

One thing I've discovered lately is that a load of people on this forum don't seem to know the difference between those two things.

the point is, who (outside the Huddle) has seriously suggested that us looking at AJ Green is a smokescreen? what is the point in even mentioning it? I just don't get it.

I think I did see it somewhere else, but I don't remember where (and I'm not interested enough to look it up, honestly) :lol:

Well, in that case, I take it back... The only thing I'd seen like that was stupid comments on forums and on news posts.

Hence my Huddle comment.

Yeah...the fact that so many of you don't get it is really disturbing....

ANY PLAYER WORTH TRADING TO OBTAIN THE #1 PICK TO ANY OF THE OTHER 31 TEAMS IS OF INTEREST TO THE PANTHERS. WHY? BECAUSE IT'S A SMOKESCREEN TO ENTICE A TRADE!

Why can't you idiots get this through your feeble minds?

Furthermore....for you idiots that still don't get it...

THE PANTHERS WANT TO TRADE OUT OF THE #1 PICK. THAT IS THEIR BEST OPTION, BUT IF THEY CAN'T THEN THEY MUST KNOW ALL THE DETAILS OF THE TOP 5 PICKS SO THEY CAN MAKE A SELECTION.

That is all. Smokescreen lesson #132589 over.

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
