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:

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
