Had a great time at the Panthers draft party

Just got back from the Panthers draft party, had a GREAT time... highlight of the evening was getting a chance to meet coach Rivera! I think I was the first Panthers fan to officially congratulate coach on selecting Cam, I happened to be walking through the tunnel when he, Hurney and others came out of the war room after making the pick. Rivera is a bigger man than I expected and he has huge, powerful hands... I'm a big guy and my hand was lost in his. As they were walking out I said: "congrats coach" and he walked over to the railing that was separating him from the fans walking through the tunnel to shake my hand.

On top of that, I got to tour the Panthers lockeroom... including reaching up and tapping the "PANTHERS PRIDE" sign as you walk out towards the field and then walk out onto the field through the same entrance the players use, with one of those inflatable Panthers head things. Stood on the 20 yard line in the middle of the field and watched him announce our pick on the jumbotron, the reaction to Cam was totally positive in the stadium, a very loud cheer went up when they announced the selection.

Dang you got to go down on the field? Now I wish I would've gone.

Yup, it was crazy to go through the Panthers locker room... come out the tunnel they come out of... and then stand there on the 20 yard line while they announced Cam was our #1 overall pick.

I'll always remember where I was when we drafted Cam Newton.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
