SportsCenter On the Clock: Carolina Panthers


Dpantherman

Recommended Posts

The Carolina Panthers are next in our On the Clock series. That also means they’re last in the series because they hold the No. 1 overall pick.

Mel Kiper, Trent Dilfer and Chris Mortensen talk about what the Panthers should do with that pick and they don’t have any clear-cut answers. Although there has been a lot of speculation about the Panthers taking Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, none of the experts seem sold on that idea.

Dilfer points out that a quarterback who played in a spread offense in college might not be the ideal fit for coordinator Rob Chudzinski’s offense. Kiper and Mortensen talk about the possibility of the Panthers trading down and how a rookie wage scale could help make that easier.

All three say the Panthers might be wise to stay clear of Newton and Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert and go with a defensive player.

I think its more of they view our owner Jerry Richardson as extremely cheap and view it as highly unlikely he would draft and pay a QB #1 overall like all the other normal NFL franchises. Them suggesting we take a defensive player instead is just a nice way of saying that.

I watch that segment not to long ago. And nobody knows what they think the Panthers should do. The scary thing is the draft is next week and nobody really has a idea on what we should do. So what most people believe in first is speculation and thats Cam Newton maybe the favorite to be the pick.But by the end of the week everybody should almost have an good idea on what we should do or what we might do.

Any player you take #1 is going to get a boat load of money. You fail again King Troll....

:lol: at y'all thinking the media doesn't view us having a cheap owner/making conservative decision this is basically what they're trying to say without saying it.

This is why a lot of us are waiting to see the choice we make to compare it with how they ran things during the Fox era.

So if they don't take Newton or Gabbert then Jerry doesn't want to win???

If anything It will show that we will sadly still be making conservative decisions though which put us in the position we are in now though so...:rolleyes:

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
    • I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku?
