So apparently Hurney had a man crush on Kaaya

[Jeremy Igo]

Jonathan Jones made a comment on Twitter that of course the Panthers picked Kaaya up as Hurney loves him.

JJ would know this from his time spent at Hurney's radio station. 

It was not the scouts recommendation to pick him up. It was all Hurney by the looks of it.

So, basically Kaaya is a Hurney draft pick this year.

 

Let's see how that turns out.

¡Ay, kaayamba!

I don't know what he sees, but at-least the kid has looks.

No homo.

If only there were a vent thread . . .

SI did have him projected as overall #1 a little over a year ago.

That doesn't matter unless it was Gman who made this move.. Than it would have challenge the wheel as a great idea....

[La Pantera]

He loved jimmy too...

It was time to bring in a young QB. Whether Kaaya will work out here remains to be seen but that room definitely needed an injection of youth, IMO. DA and Webb were getting too comfortable because there was nobody pushing them.

Classic Panther

"by the looks of it"

Man, I was against getting rid of Gman and against Hurney forever, but some of the conjecture here is just.....

[ItsPantone278]

I'll give it sometime to play out before I form a strong opinion.  Pro scouts liked him enough for him to get drafted.  I don't mind the idea of developing a rookie QB draft pick at this point, and honestly this kids strengths are some of Cam's most talked about weaknesses.  I think Kaaya has more potential for high level QB play than someone like Webb or even Anderson at the moment.  I liked what I saw from Gilbert but everyone should agree it would be horrifying if he had to enter the game.

If he develops in to a back up that would be real damn nice.

[Lumps]

So if I want to be a GM of an NFL team...or GM of the Panthers more like....I need to go into journalism.

 

got it.

[Nails]

Fine.  I can see the logic.  Hope it works out.

Get rid of Gano.  And find more safety help.
