Who's still going to be ok if we don't draft the guy you want?

I'd like Newton but would be ok if we choose someone else. Also, even though I think taking DT #1 in a deep class doesn't make that much sense, I would be content with it. I mean we are a 2-14 team. Anyone we pick would help. We can't be set back any further by any pick we choose when John Fox has already set us back. Can't go anywhere but up from here.

Meh as long as we don't reach for a guy who has a second round grade at number one overall I won't complain to much. I have faith that the coaching staff has done their homework and is ready to make the pick that benefits the team the most....

"With the first pick in the NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State."

I don't believe the whole "reaching for a guy" thing people complain about. If a team wants a guy and believe that he will help the team out, that's all that should matter. The ones who create these charts to tell us whether we're reaching or not are just a bunch of talking heads anyway.

See above post.....no way you should draft a guy like Ponder number one overall when his stock is anywhere from 15-40. If you want that guy fine, trade down and pick up extra picks and get him or trade back up and get him if your scouting department has him as a franchise guy.....

This is exactly right.

I wouldn't mind taking Christian Ponder, but definitely no where near the #1 pick. If you want a player like that, that you know not many other teams have high on their board, trade down and get him + picks, or, package some picks and trade up.

Well i didn't mean that far of a reach...i think if it isn't a HUGE reach then we should be content with it because in the end what the coaches think trump what talking heads think.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
