Pat White in the second round for Panthers?


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

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.”

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

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?

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
