Pat White in the second round for Panthers?

[Kevin Greene]

Dream for a moment, Panthers fans.

Imagine Carolina's front-office decision-makers putting aside the need for backup linemen and a cornerback in order to inject an electrifying playmaker and potential successor to quarterback Jake Delhomme – all with a single move in the second round of the NFL draft Saturday.

With your eyes closed, and with heels tapping, see in your mind's eye the intriguing possibility of West Virginia's Pat White in a Panthers uniform.

In the short term, White could return kicks, be a dynamic presence in the lineup when the Panthers go to the “wildcat” formation. He could also line up as a receiver or running back at times.

In the future, he could be groomed to take over the quarterback position from Delhomme and create an entirely new breed of signal-caller in coach John Fox's offense.

....

“He's the kind of kid you want (to have the) ball in his hands, whether it's running it, catching it or throwing it,” Mayock said of White. “If I was a GM, I'd take him in the second round, use him as a ‘wildcat' this year and try to develop him as a quarterback because I think he has that kind of ability.”

Not no but F--K NO!

Ex-West Virginia star White would generate excitement

If by "excitement" they mean angry mobs and rioting, sure.

Hey, a guy with the ability to extend a play and build into a franchise QB with your franchise offensive linemen, Jarrett, and your Halfbacks as a base on offense... that mixed with the unlikelihood of White reading coverage as bad as Jake does... then bam, you could easily have a franchise QB who is considered as a steal down the line.

Mayock typically knows what he's talking about when it comes to how someone projects and their ability. I'd be all for seeing it happen if I was a Panther fan.

As much as I like Jake and think he is our quarterback for the next year or so. If Pat White fell all the way to #59 I would have a hard time passing him up. A QB with some wheels would make our running game impossible to stop and put Steve Smith in the H.O.F.

I have never been a fan of mobile quarterback as they tend to run too much. What I do like about Pat White is, from what I have read, he has an arm. A good strong solid arm that can make all the throws.

If we didn't have so many other needs I would love this pick. If we by some chance end up with and additonal 2nd rounder or two. He would be wearing our colors if he was on the board when we picked.

Go Panthers

See you keep doing this and people will call you names.

Isn't he undersized to be a franchise quarterback?

[Brooklyn Bully]

Isn't he too crappy to be a franchise quarterback?

Fixed.

[Squirrel]

Fixed.

No way, He is undersized but crappy he is not.

I don't have anything against White but I just never witnessed any undersized quarterbacks winning any championships.

Well if you check, you can see the post count there. Its just someone trying to be a douche. As you seen, I was just trying to offer the convo a fresh idea on the subject and someone pops in here being a pain. You guys should ban their ip and see who it is lol...

Seemed like Troy Smith did good whenever he got to play for the Ravens.

I honestly think Pat White could step in and upgrade your offense some. Think about the youth, speed, arm, and how cheap you guys could lock him up for multiple years. The question here is... why the hell not?
