Rookie QB in Best Situation

[bleys]

NFL Total Access talking about this now.. their general breakdown consists of:

(Mayock) Jake Locker: best friend of a rookie QB is a run game, so he looks for a running game. Locker athletic, and anytime CJ2k is in backfield he has a chance. Also, points out Ponder for the same reason.

(Wilcots) Christian Ponder: above-average D, above-average line, and AP in the backfield.

(Baldy) Blaine Gabbert: sitting the bench. Able to sit behind Garrard.

then the question is asked why Cam isn't mentioned. They point to us going 2-14.

Honestly, I don't think we are that far off from the rest of those teams. Above average D, above average line, 2 thoroughbreds behind center, if our WRs step up as this fanbase thinks then we have that, the difference between '11 and '10 for me? hopefully a coaching staff who has a clue..

most years have 2 rookie QBs starting?

will be interesting to see how 4 QBs starting works for these teams.. how many boom or bust right off the bat..

how can you call yourself an analyst if you dont cover a team just because of their previous season's record?

i think Mallett is in a good situation. no pressure on him for being taken in the 3rd, and sitting behind tom brady.

Those are old episodes bro, I watched that same segment last week. None of these guys will no where the carolina panthers came from this year... Isn't that the way we like it though?

If the media "experts" say something, it's generally a great idea to think the opposite.

hell no. I want high expectations. I don't believe in that under the radar bullshit. at some point you make it on the radar and I don't think those people can handle the spotlight..

truth..

The Big Cat said of last year's team..."We had the worst record but we did not have the worst players."

I agree.

The 2011 Panthers will be a better team than the media thinks...or maybe wants.

[bleys]

there is very little from last year I won't take with a grain of salt..

it'll be interesting to see just what we have around week 6..

Analysts truly don't know a got damn thing

analysts truly don't know a got damn thing

fact!

[Ivan The Awesome]

Small market team being over looked by analysts. Aren't we used to this already?

[bleys]

I'll never get used to it..

I want every fanbase eating every negative word they've ever spoken as the light shines down and everlasting greatness burns into their retinas..

the guys they talked about have a good chance of playing week 1.

there's almost no chance in hell mallett sees playing time any time soon.
