what do you mean, "players like him?" guys who are multi-talented?

look at his stats and give a reason why he isn't a good QB.

By players like him I mean guys who can supposedly "do it all" in college, ala a Vince Young or a Reggie Bush. I just think he'll have a hard time transitioning to the NFL game as a QB and won't be very successful.

what i thought.

because he is supposedly similar to those two he is bound to bust.

i could use the same thought processes and claim him to be another donovan mcnabb or even steve young.

both of those guys were the type who could "do it all" in college.

But your guess is as good as mine. Just like how you think Sanchez will be a bust.

You're guessing just as much as he is, but it's cool.

Mine had basis, his didn't.

What season was Delhomme without his top 4 or 5 running backs? The one time (one game) he dropped to RB #4, he looked completely lost against Seattle and couldn't get anything at all going against a team that basically triple teamed our #1 receiver. That game wasn't completely on him (ARZ pretty much was) but making stuff up to make him look better is just as dumb as saying he's complete trash.

He's just mostly trash at this point :)

I know that you probably weren't a Panthers fan back then, but I was talking about 2004. Look it up if you need to.

more reason to think that sanchez will be a bust. we have seen 4 years of white which is plenty to see what he can do.

we have seen one year of sanchez. only reason he went this year was because he would have gotten lost in the crowd. this was his only chance to get in the first round so he took it.

Pat White would be a God send to this team. Much like Steve Smith, he's the kind of player that is explosive with the ball in his hands regardless of where he gets it. He's a football player.

With that said, it'll never happen. We'll draft a backup center out of the university of popular school.

Oh, as for White.

Can you imagine if we actually drafted him? The first play the guy accidentally fell forward a few feet he'd be run out of the state by fans screaming about Vick.

LOL. Losing repeatedly to a QB that looks like and plays like Mike Vick obviously has had a traumatic effect on some in Pantherland. Its not a coincidence the 2 black QBs who've come into the league with the most hype and made the most $$$ (Vick and Young) are now being used to scare people away from potentials like a Pat White. :yesnod:

The team that takes Pat White will have plenty of picks and won't mind gambling one on a guy who will likely sit the bench for a few years.

For us as it stands we have 5 total picks. We surely can't use our top pick on a guy who won't see the field this year or next. We need someone who will contribute from day one.

If we trade Peppers and get a few picks for him then we might be a candidate for White. Otherwise we need to concentrate on finding a starter or day 1 contributor not a project.

Why is color of skin such a big deal to you, it means nothing to me, (I'll probably never understand this)?...

We're a team who's had trouble picking players in the 2nd round who arent projects let alone day 1 contributors. Bruce Nelson, Keary Colbert, Eric Shelton, Dwayne Jarrett, Richard Marshall (finally becoming a starter due to cap reasons), etc. We havent gotten alot of value in that round. Reaching on a 2nd round DE who will not replace Pepper's production is not the answer.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
