If the new GM didn't want cam as the future of the franchise how would you feel

[CatMan72]

I would feel like the new GM is an idiot.

[SIGCHI222]

Clowney is a Senior?

What is Clowney's status? Is he a Sophomore?

You are an idiot.

[Frizzy350]

I would feel that the new GM is the dumbest *** on the planet and that my one hit of acid in college had made one seriously wicked flashback placing me back in the middle of a world where dogs talk, my face is dripping and I can fart, "Yankee Doodle Doo" out of my ass on que.

well this was either a massive exaggeration or a complete lie.

[jarhead]

I would ask him why the hell did he take the job.

[MadHatter]

He'd have to have a hellaciously good replacement plan for that to be workable.

Short of having the #1 pick in a draft with a can't miss QB prospect, it's pretty hard to imagine. And even then you're taking a huge gamble.

Neither of those conditions applies to this year's draft, of course.

This is almost as plausible as the new GM wanting to convert the Panthers to a female lacrosse team in the world lingerie league....which I would fully support.

You act like JR knows what lacrosse is. To him, its a new type of biscuit that could branded at Bojangles from Lafayette.

I'd think "Why in the living hell did JR hire TRD/Grits/PFFL/HighlandFire as his GM? What a dumbass move!"

[tiger7_88]

Also, Clowney won't be in the same draft class as Bridgewater. Not to mention, why the fug do we need Clowney? DL is no longer a top priority for this team.

ANY competent GM in the NFL, whether he "needed" Clowney or not, would pick Clowney if he was there when his team turn to draft was up.

Any GM who *wouldn't* would deserve to be fired forthwith. Clowney will be an immediate difference-maker in the NFL for any team that chooses him, whether you "need" him or not.

I believe the next GM hired will be someone that buys into Cam. If not he won't be our GM. On a different note I also believe that the next GM is going to have to buy into RR. If JR was looking to go a different route RR would've been fired yesterday. I believe RR will be given 1 more year to make vast improvement or he is gone.

Remember there is the media's perception of Cam and what those who know him see.

[Happy Panther]

What if the new GM had a way to teleport early '90s John Elway to compete for the starting job?

I agree with this sentiment for our team if there is no safety or OL available that would be an immediate upgrade. I do not believe that the Panthers are a team that can make these luxury picks because we still have a few positions that are very weak and need to be improved upon.

The middle picks round one are usually where teams draft need because they are too good to pick based solely on talent but aren't good enough to have no immediate need for improvement. Clowney will be a beast in the NFL, but I do not think that our team needs him over a stud safety or OL.

[Gucci Mane]

i say we trade our first rounder for another 2nd and maybe a 4th

Good god.

It doesn't matter who is there at safety or OL when Clowney is in the draft. Unless he's suffered injuries such that his current style of play and ability no longer exists, YOU PICK HIM IF HE'S SITTING THERE AT YOUR CHOICE.

If you're telling me that you'd pick a Mark Barron over a Jadaveon Clowney (hypothetically since we know Barron is in the NFL already) if both were available because you feel the team "needs" a safety more, I just don't know how to respond to that. I really don't.
