Blackmon physically looks like the 2nd coming of Calvin, doesn't he?

Panthers could use someone like that, without doubt, but, serious defensive problems, and the need for another OT (and now Bell isn't the long-term answer and Gross is getting long in the tooth) will probably not make that possible, but, who knows.

Hard to find quality OTs and DTs past round 2.

I just hope, somewhere along the way, the Panthers draft a kicker who can kick-off and make field goals...sick already of Mare.

Imagine if we had both Kalil brothers and both were successful? Collect the whole set.

Calvin Johnson is 6'5 and and weighs 235.

Justin Blackmon is 6'1 and weighs 210.

Those two are nothing a like physically.

But, if I were making the pick? Morris Claiborne, Dre Kirkpatrick, Justin Blackmon, or, I would trade back and try and get Janoris Jenkins while picking up a third.

No.

Calvin Johnson is 6'5" 235.

Blackmon is 6'1" and twenty pounds lighter.

Guy wears big pads. Doesn't fill them well.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
