Shake up at the top of the draft?

I personally think that we will pick Cam, and while I am not happy about it, I will support him and the team.

The problem this year, is there really is no clear cut no. 1 overall pick, to me. Now if Hurney thinks that Cam or PP is the clear cut no. 1 then so be it.

Cliff notes; Im admitting that I have no idea who the Panthers are taking.

The draft is Thurs...I would suspect they know who they are drafting pending a CBA isn't reached and they get some mindblowing offer.

This actually sounds like to me that they like a quarterback that would be available possibly late first or early second. That way, they can trade down a few spots, take a guy of value, then turn around and grab the QB they want later. I don't think they want Newton even if they do stay at 1, but they DO want someone else.

A little pet peeve of mine...reading the comments why does everyone assume that were gonna get the first draft pick next year? Were not gonna be good but the last team to get back to back first picks were the Browns and that was over 10 years ago. Im in the Dareus camp but when people say that we can get Luck with the first pick next year I want to punch something cute.

I'm beginning to think we don't take him either. It just doesn't feel like a pick Hurney would make, and I think it's too much of a risk at that spot.

And as much as I hate Clausen, I'm beginning to change my mind a bit on Cam. I wouldn't be upset if we took him, but I personally think it may be too risky for the #1.

    • He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc. 
    • Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.
    • How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
