In an interview with Sirius NFL Radio, Freeman said that he has upcoming visits with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Louis Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers.

The Panthers and their fanbase? fug no, Jake Delhomme will QB here til he's 80 years old. As for Josh, he could end up being the next Daunte Culpepper. He shares alot of similarities to him.

You're predicting his career will be ruined by a devastating knee injury against the Panthers?

i think he has more skill than matt moore..the downside to freeman is exsperience and he will get that here because fox will sit him for a year or two

?? It's usually good for rookie QB's to sit a few years. They usually end up being more successful than if they are just thrown right in from the beginning.

josh freeman will be the best qb of the draft when all is said and done. I dont think the panthers will be able to get him with our pick but i would love to have him. He is not the next daunte culpepper but more the next steve mcnair or warren moon

he's a decent prospect who gets a little too much hype because of his arm.

Any junior prospect at QB to leave early carries extra risk. He's still raw, but he's got a lot of potential as an actual passer (something that I don't see in The Golden Calf of Bristol or White, who a lot more people know). But he'll take time to get with the NFL game.

First prospect I've heard to show up here. Guess he'll go anywhere...without us having a first round or high second round pick I don't see his desire to work out for us, but maybe he's either realistic or expects we'll get a draft pick from somewhere. Right now I see his hype starting to boil over to where he goes top 20.

Even though we've made it obvious that we want Jake long-term, I think we're simultaneously looking for his replacement. We've been reported to be heavily interested in Pat White; now we're looking at Freeman. Both of these guys seem to be projected around the 2nd round (White wasn't until his combine and pro day), and I know teams cover all their bases, but it seems we're targeting these guys early.

I think there might be a little more competition at QB this year. I just have a feeling.

you think he could also be the next jamarcus russell? similarities between the two have been pointed out for years and it hasn't been size as the only comparison and they haven't all been favorable, either.

i can see culpepper (pre-injury, with good receivers), or big ben.

i could also see a project like russells has become taking a couple years to get into the groove of things (that is assuming that russell is getting into the groove).

for him to be effective right out of the gate is going to have to take him getting into just the right situation (something russell did not do).

jets seem to be drawn to him pretty heavily as do a couple other teams.

i don't see QB being the immediate concern that several other positions are. next year has some pretty decent QBs in it. unless he falls to the 3rd or 4th (incredibly unlikely) i don't see us getting him. it would cost too much to get him without him being a sure thing.

Jamarcus, and his agent stepped on their own dicks by holding out his rookie year and not signing until mid September. His first year was a total loss. Then he's stuck in the Raider organization with coaching changes and everything else. Player, agent and team have combined to retard what may someday be a great career. Too early to tell. In an optimal situation things would probably be much different.

      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.
