Pat White in the second round for Panthers?

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?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
