Why We wont draft a QB this Year

I do not think Pike is a good fit for the offense we are planning to run, but who knows. He is tall.

I don't think we will draft a QB first. I think Plan A is to trade down. Plan B is a difficult choice between Green, Dareus, Cam and yes, Gabbert. I would be very surprised to see Cam get picked because Hurney takes safe first rounders at postions that offer the opportunity to instantly produce.

If Andrew Luck were in the draft, would we have come out and said that we are taking Luck because we were not interested in trading? I think so. Whenever Hurney talks about Cam, it is always because he is asked about Cam. He chooses his words carefully. You will never hear a team badmouth a player. We want to trade.

Panthers to pass on Newton at #1?

Former high-ranking Panthers executive Tony Softli predicts that Carolina will pass on Cam Newton and take Alabama DT Marcell Dareus with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

"They need defensive linemen. They have for awhile," says Softli, who also has a history with the Rams. "I really think they're gonna pass on Cam Newton. ... I really believe it's gonna be the defensive tackle." While we still take everything with a grain of salt, it's important to note that Softli's info has been solid this offseason. He was the first to point out Adrian Clayborn's Erb Palsy condition, and among the first to explicitly report on Ryan Mallett's drug use at Arkansas.

Also curious why we aren't going to draft since the only thing the new coaching staff has to go on with Pike is his college stats and about 3 minutes of nfl play...

It's not like they can call him up and say "Why don't you come and work out for us."

Even if Pike is the greatest qb ever, we will never know.

Tall, rail-thin sixth rounder? Knocked for his questionable arm and lack of athleticism coming out? Next Tom Brady people.

If Andrew Luck were in the draft, would we have come out and said that we are taking Luck because we were not interested in trading? I think so. Whenever Hurney talks about Cam, it is always because he is asked about Cam. He chooses his words carefully. You will never hear a team badmouth a player. We want to trade.

ftr it was more or less officially announced that Luck would be the pick if he declared earlier in the year.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
