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.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
