The COLTS are working out Mark Sanchez. The Indianapolis freakin Colts are working out a QB...how is the team with the best QB in the league working a guy out and the PANTHERS haven't even sniffed a first round QB and our guy is Jake Delhomme?? Granted they probably are not going to draft this guy but it just gives you a little perspective as to how stubborn this organization is with drafting first round QBs..

Every team is interested in just about every 1st round prospect. No doubt the Panthers have seen Sanchez workout.

Last year the Panthers were one of the main interest in Matt Ryan.

Just because you don't hear about what the FO does, doesn't mean they're not doing anything.

Good lord, I love how ANY QB related topic always ends with the poster mentioning something about how its insane that we still have Delhomme or something along those lines.

The organization, and especially Fox, don't like drafting young QB's. Especially extremely inexperienced QB's such as Sanchez and Stafford. They prefer experience. Yes, they are stubborn with drafting first round QB's.

Not to mention, first round QB's are pretty damn risky for the amount of money they get. They are an extremely risky position. Look at the lame-ass QB's that have hit in the first round since about 1995: Kerry Collins, Jim Druckenmiller, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Cade McNown, Chad Pennington (although he might have finally found his stride), Michael Vick, Joey Harrington, Patrick Ramsey, Alex Smith, JP Losman, Byron Leftwich, Kyle Boller, Rex Grossman, David Carr.

Comeon. And since then, what 1st round QB's really showed solid excellence? Peyton Manning, Donovan McNabb, Carson Palmer, Eli Manning, Ben R., Matt Ryan, Daunte Culpepper (debatable...), Phillip Rivers. Not many.

The Panthers are smart because they'd much rather invest in solid defensive/offensive linemen or running backs or DB's. They are easier positions to transition to in the NFL. They can be starters for years and years.

QB's are just damn tricky, especially young ones.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
