Trading the pick after Newton is selected...

There are other options. Go back to your Cam Shrine and light another candle; your muted rage will pass. Exploring all options, hypothetical or practical, is what makes this interesting. What forums are for. Nonetheless, I admire your loyalty and the manner in which you honor a silly bet.

I think we take Cam if we stick at #1. However, if we get the first pick in 2012, do not expect Luck to become a Bengal or Viking. WHile Cam has pro-bowl POTENTIAL, Luck has HALL OF FAME potential. Signs of being good should not reserve you a spot in Canton. Upgrade at QB whenever you can.

I nearly suggested that in another post but was not sure about the RIGHTS to a player. Regardless, his value would be determined by the CBA and the rookie scale. However, this is an interesting strategy because we would keep him until we felt better about his work ethic and knew where we stood in free agency. Heck, if we go 1-15 and draft Luck, I imagine we would get a boat load of picks in 2012 for Newton, if he shows signs of being good.

You guys are amazing, how come you don't care about the CURRENT players on our team who want to WIN NOW!?! Beason, Smitty and Deangelo who are leaders on this team want to win NOW DAMN IT! They don't want to wait till next year's season to win.

[huddle logic]None of those guys are QBs. The only players who's feelings we should be concerned with are our QBs. They are our elites. Whats best for them supercedes all the position players. I care more about Clausen "getting a fair shot" than whether or not D Williams and Beasons careers go to waste while "we wait for our dream QB".[/huddle logic]

Luck made it perfectly clear that he wants NOTHING to do with being a Carolina Panther.

If by some miracle we are allowed to draft him he would probably demand a trade ala Eli.

Don't take it personally man. The guy just wanted to stay in school and finish earning his degree. It had nothing to do with Carolina having the first pick.

That could be, but from my point of view it doesn't appear to be the case. If he just wanted to stay in school then he would have been saying it all season. He waited until the #1 pick was decided and JR pretty much came right out and said we were taking him. Then he decided to stay in school. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

Doesn't sound like he is committed to being a NFL player. As a GM I would be very hesitant to draft him. I want someone who is dedicated to being a great NFL player not an architect.

    • CJ Stroud going to flame out if he doesn't watch out..
    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
