more respected as an OC than an HC. Offensive mind gets respect because of New England work. I would argue that anything in New England is inflated when it comes to reputations of former assistants, but for some reason they all have had too much clout.

i'd love us to pick up another vet edge guy. draft after QB i want us to focus on WR/TE/CB. I have no real preference to order, just BPA of each of them after round 1. ideally we'd also be able to add to the OL every draft, but i'm not sure if we'll be able to. i actually wouldn't mind if we were to sacrifice our last couple picks in moving up to help make sure we get all three of those addressed. take the BPA at 39 and then move up to get those other two.

lol you've done more than lean.

respectable and understandable opinion.

i don't know...i think it's kind of worth it to have the ability to make this choice. i'll gladly put up with being slightly annoyed for a couple months just so we can have a dominant QB for the next decade+.

i'm anxious to see what they look like and i thnk it's probably going to happen, but i don't have any clue whatsoever what they should look like. i do know that the ideas that have been thrown around in this thread have me less than enthused lol.

what's funny is the number of people who are pissed and offended and feel they need to retaliate if someone has the nerve to have a different opinion.

if any iteration of the panthers org/coaching staff should be trusted to make the decision, it's this one. until i see otherwise...

i don't know about it being a great debate other than i think it's a much better debate to be having than 'who the fug are we going to pick at 9?' For me i don't see much point in arguing or getting upset about it because, from where i'm standing, we win either way.

lol i'm not a fanboy of any player. i'm a fan of drafting either Young or Stroud and i've been pretty stinkin clear about that. and i'm also a fan of drafting AR too. i'm leaning more towards Stroud...at the moment...but i've said from the beginning that i'd be excited whoever it is and really it's just a flip of the coin. i don't care who it is among those three. why? because i'm a panther fan and i think we've got the right coaching staff (for once) making the decision and we've got three helluva good choices to choose between.

sometimes it takes a while, but for this one he's just got 3 accounts going right now. one of them hasn't posted yet.

like i said before i miss him. that era was probably the most exciting for me and he's probably my favorite panther personality of all time next to smitty. it's not being obsessed, though, when you notice similarities between people who came here and became panther fans because of Cam back in 2011 and people who have joined here lately because of either Young or Stroud. Seems like there's more Young fans though.

not projecting anything. you've been coming across as a Young fanboy since day 1 here. i mean that's fine...just own it. all the Cam fanboys did years ago.

lol how many accounts are you going to make? the worst part is that not one of them has been banned and all of them very recently made. either you keep losing account info or you're a loser. 2nd worst part is that you don't know how to post. you type it up on a word doc or something and then copy paste it?

lol looks like you're sweating because your boy might not be the pick. that's the risk when you're a player fanboy instead of a fan of a team.

it will be both. they have an idea what they want to run already. They aren't going to wait until all the pieces are in place before they figure it out. They'll pick someone who fits better with the vision they have for the offense and then assess what specifically the new QB brings along with the other pieces of the offense and then decide what specifically to do. But they aren't going to go into the draft with a blank board on offensive scheme. they know what they want to do and who best fits that idea will play a big role in what they want to do. But i'm thinking that they already have an idea of a player/scheme fit.

Bill O'Brien added to the equation carries a lot of weight as well.

that just seems like a natural fit of jersey and player.

i'm leaning this way myself. Young will be phenomenal, but from what i've seen about Reich and what he wants to do, Young seems like the better fit. And i don't put much stock into the size/height narrative. I just think that Stroud is the better fit for what Reich will be doing...at least that's my opinion. i know a couple of the Young homers might have an issue with someone having a different opinion about him.

i'm expecting one of Stroud/Young/AR to the pick and i'm so excited to hear any of these guys. AR is my third favorite among them, but i would not hate it at all for him to be the pick. if this coaching staff is sure that they can make him reach his potential, then giddyup. he could easily go bad, but i trust this staff to make the right call and do what it takes to make it the right call.

that original thread talking about the S2 did say that there were several in this class that scored really well on it and that they were way ahead of last year's class. Seeing what i did Mooch and AR on the whiteboard and AR's ability to recollect things and other things that i've heard about AR in his interviews, it would be easy to believe that AR would be one of the high scorers.

why is this funny to you? is it not accurate?

lol i thnk you're making this out into more drama than what it actually is. you do you, though.
