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.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
