With the 19th pick in the 2014 draft the Carolina Panthers select.... an Oregon Running Back?

The Carolina Panthers have become a playoff contender thanks to Cam Newton,Steve Smith and a defense that's been built up through the NFL draft. To seriously challenge in the NFC South, the offense needs to continue to improve.

One area where the offense is lacking would be at wide receiver opposite Smith. Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn may have a play or two here and there that make you pause and take notice, but overall neither has risen to the level of being a true No. 2 option for Newton in the passing game. That's where a talent like De'Anthony Thomas can take this offense to a new level.

Thomas is similar in many ways to Percy Harvin. The Oregon Ducks move him around often, utilizing his speed at running back, as a receiver and as a return man. The Panthers would want to do the same, basically getting the ball to Thomas as early and often as possible. 

Thomas may not be the most conventional wide receiver, but he's a true offensive weapon anytime he touches the ball.

 

I've seen 5 different mock drafts showing we take this guy, I will literally set fire to BOFA if this happens.

u do realize we fired hurney and fox right? 

Yes, I just can't believe that 5+ people that are getting paid to write articles and make mock drafts think we would draft a RB.

 

It makes about as much sense as trading up to the #1 pick and drafting Ryan Leaf from retirement.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year.

      Kicker

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
