JOE PERSON: Panthers will not pursue Lamar Jackson
panfanman replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
He doesn't have an agent. He's representing himself. -
Ryan Poles trying to drive up the cost of the #1 pick
panfanman replied to NAS's topic in Carolina Panthers
I hate this and I can totally see it happening. We've put together an outstanding coaching staff but are going to squander it by mortgaging our future paying way to much to move up for a less than elite prospect. It's going to happen. -
This all but guarantees we take a QB in the 1st round I think. The question now is who will be our veteran bridge presence? I'm in no way comfortable with the fleece day our trade partner is going to have. We're going to give up way too much to get our QB. I was happy take a chance to wait and draft Hooker late in the 2nd if we got Carr.

REPORT: Panthers to aggressive pursue trade up to get a QB
panfanman replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Carr is in no way plan B. He will either be the plan or not. By the draft he will already have a home so there's no way to fall back to him. -
I grew up in the Midwest and we used Miracle Whip. When I moved to South Carolina and married my wife from here she, much to my dismay, insisted on Dukes. For a couple decades then I ate Dukes. Then on a trip to visit dear ol' mom, she broke out the Miracle Whip. I was so excited. But I guess by that time I was hooked on Dukes because the Miracle Whip tasted like $h!t.

I didn't exactly understand the poll part of the question but to answer whether or not to take him at 61? Absolutely. I'm rarely for moving up in the 1st when the cost is so high. Add in you're reaching for a player at a position that is such a crapshoot. I would rather take advantage of another sucker (team) that's will to give up draft capital to move into our spot. I can't remember a year since drafting Cam that I didn't want to trade back. Now I know these draft simulators are highly suspect but let me present to you this draft scenario. Here you'll see I traded back several times right out of the 1st round (normally not ideal). When I started taking players I did it from the position we signed a good bridge QB that didn't break the bank like Wentz. We also resigned Bozeman and Coleman. We also picked up Jalen Ramsey. You can't look at any of my selections and not say they're not good players, better yet excellent value, and furthermore fill needs. The trades I made were not me going to other teams trying to cook something but rather other teams coming to me. We get one of the top 2 LB in the back extremely versatile and an edge that is solid. My only question on these two would be how do they fit into our new defense? We also get arguably the best OG in the draft. A great WR (although I was hoping for Hyatt to make things maybe a little more comfortable for Hooker). A TE that has been mocked many times in the 1st round. A bruising running back. And an eventual replacement and sub rotation for Bozeman at the OC position that also has substantial OG experience (2 OGs coming off injury I'm sure we could use that depth. As far as what we have left for picks in 2024, you'll see I gained a 1st, but gave up a 2nd and two 6ths.. . .but I degress. Back to Hooker. Here's the issue with waiting until 61. Where's he going to go? Really, he could go in the 1st round or easily well before 61. So waiting is a huge gamble. But when 61 came along he was still there. I was offered a trade to fall back. I can't remember what team made the offer but they and the teams between 61 and 70 either already had a superstar QB, had already taken on in the draft or had other glaring needs so I took the gamble and he was there at 70. I was lucky he wasn't gone by 61. The extra pick I gained I used on the RB Charbonnet so that was icing on the cake. So yes, I'd be thrilled with Hooker at 61.

Good night everyone. See you in free agency. Let's get Bozeman signed and find a veteran QB.
-
Reid always looks like he's one Twinkie away from a heart attack.
-
Oh... it's 4th down. Damn. I thought they had another down.
-
I think they really should just score here now.
-
Who's holding their breath about with a field goal?
-
Mahomes has had to deal with quite a few low snaps today.
-
Damn turf again.
-
That bell may still be ringing tomorrow.
-
This possession very well may determine who wins.
-
How can you pick an MVP at this point? I'm leaning towards Hurts at this point but Eagles have to win for that I think.
-
Good lord what a game.
-
The open field tackling tonight has been impressive.
-
Looked like holding to me by 69 of Eagles.
-
No. Just started.

When was the last time there was a Superbowl this good?
