What would you do?

Let's say we draft Newton. Let's also say we stink again this up and coming season, and will pick 1st overall in the 2012 draft. With Luck sitting there on the table, what would you do? Would you draft Luck, or would you draft an offensive weapon to help Newton?

I've heard it on here before, maybe some months ago, that Luck is a once in a lifetime QB. That it doesn't matter who you have at Qb on the roster, but you must take Luck regardless. Of course if Newton showed promise, we could potentially trade the first pick and get great value in return. Yet for me personally, I would draft Luck, let him and Newton battle it out, and then trade the one who doesn't win the starting job.

How many times are we gonna keep fantasizing about Luck? I seriously doubt we're gonna go back to back with the #1 pick.

So we draft Newton, he doesn't have an OTA, training camp, and gets a week of preseason, and we do not have a second rounder. What do you expect to happen--Super Bowl? The lockout effects the Panthers adversely more than any other team. New coach, youth, new QB, new offense, new defense, etc. We are probably losing our 2 biggest offensive weapons in Steve SMith and Deangelo Williams. Hang a banner?

Again, speculation because FA has not begun and we haven't resigned Deangelo or any other team for that matter.

You fans LOVE to lose don't ya?

just keep drafting QBs until one of them has a successful rookie season...

...then fire his ass if his sophomore season doesn't pan out and start drafting QBs again.

They call that "the Gruden Approach" (or a Modified Millen).

I've heard it on here before, maybe some months ago, that Luck is a once in a lifetime QB. That it doesn't matter who you have at Qb on the roster, but you must take Luck regardless.

I don't think a team that already has a Matt Ryan, a Phillip Rivers or even a Mark Sanchez or Matt Stafford uses a high pick on Luch, should they find themselves in that spot.

More likely they trade that pick to someone who needs him and make out like bandits.

Hoping to lose is exactly what the some fans want, having the number 1 pick again is also not being realistic neither is going to the super bowl. If anything we may have the 6 or 5th pick next year.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
