Let me ask you guys, what makes you think Stafford would want to come to the Panthers?

I just don't see it

He is from the south.  College ball at GA.  The Carolinas are nicer than Detroit.   No snow. Cost of living is good. 

and we had 3 WRs go over 1000 total yards last year...and CMC.  No team will offer a better set of skill position players. 

that’s the pitch.

Let's see

Lions:

Just now blowing up and starting over with a new regime.  

Little to no weapons

Defense, no young core pieces that have stood out.

 

Panthers:

Already began the rebuild 

#1 RB in the NFL

#2 WR that's better than Detroit's #1

3 key young core defensive players under the age of 23

I agree that we are one year ahead of Detroit, but I would argue that Robby is on par with Golladay, and the latter is only 27. CMC might be RB1, but Swift will be a top-8 back in the NFL very, very soon...the kid is dangerous.

If I'm Matt Stafford, Carolina isn't moving the needle for me when there's teams like Pittsburgh, Indy, and SF that are so much closer than us.

If I were Stafford, I would be less than impressed

Golladay is a FA and may not even be back in Detroit next season.

 

Its Hard to project Swift to be a top 8 back soon.  He wasnt even a top 3 back from his own rookie class this season when healthy.  So needs to pump the brakes there

Ok. Do the pitch of a team we are competing with.   Outside of SF and Pitt...we got a decent offer and I don’t know how thirsty they really are for a QB.

We weren’t very close heading into the 2003 season or the 2015 season.  No one we calling that. 

this mantra of we are way off still doesn’t fly.  We are missing QB play.   You get that and you can bandaid the holes on D.  

Tampa went out and bought the best roster.  The rest of the NFC? They all got issues on their rosters too.

If we're talking teams on the cusp/playoff ready without a QB, then you look to LAR, Indy & NO.  There's no way in hell they're shipping him to Chicago.

Otherwise, we're in a much better spot than WFT, Philly, NE, HOU, DEN.  Though if I had to guess, think Denver gets him at the end of the day.  He's very much the type they look for.

I think a team like Indy would be in the catbird seat for Stafford’s services. They’re a QB shy of being in the playoffs again and Reich is a QB’s guru and good HC.

Indy?  went 11-5 and QB just retired.  Patriots? WFT?  Denver?

There are plenty of teams you could see Stafford as a good upgrade and from the outside looking in we don't look as appealing as a lot of the fans on this forum think.

      JOE PERSON: the sense around league circles is Panthers will take Jalon Walker @8

      By MHS831 · Posted

      There are very few players in this draft that don't have a concern that could cause someone to not like them---I think the longer a player hangs around the top 10 (beginning in February) the more their flaws could withstand the scrutiny. Some fall too far, in my opinion, and are thrown into the scratch and dent bin.  Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) comes to mind, Shavon Revel (East Carolina), Restrepo (Miami).  I wonder if it is not that we found things through research, it could be that we exploited trivial things.  You can't measure the "it" factor. Those three just mentioned--I would have no problem drafting them at a discount.  Restrepo ran a 4.8--not as big a deal as people think--he is going to be a chain-moving slot--he will be sliding underneath, finding a hole in the zone, etc.  Great hands, great attitude.  I take him in the fourth.  Jack Sawyer is the high motor over-achiever.  I think he can be a 8-10 sack guy, block a lot of passes, and hold the edge.  I take him in round 3 if they let him fall that far.  Revel could be one of the top 3 CBs--if he is there at 58, I take him.  When the flaw is what you see when you hear their names, you are blind to their other talents.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By Icege · Posted

      Sims has to do a little outrage marketing to make the engagement numbers go vroom, but there's been a few analysts that have commented on how Walker is ultimately going to be depending on whomever drafts him to properly develop him. Whether that's starting him off of as a rotational edge guy on obvious passing downs or settling him at ILB will be up to whoever ends up with him. A lot of folks like to point out Isaiah Simmons, and as much as I like Isaiah as a Clemson fan he's not the guy that Jalon Walker is between the ears (this isn't to say Isaiah isn't bright, but didn't seem to breathe football like Jalon does). The kid's got a shot; he's just going to need it somewhere that's going to aim first before firing him off.

      ESPN 3rd mock

      By Icege · Posted

      Evero runs Vic Fangio's scheme and leans heavily on cover 4 with disguised coverages. It is not predominantly cover-2 as suggested. This means that the box safety is going to likely be covering 1/4th as opposed to 1/2 of the field. Whomever the team brings in to be the boundary safety (unless they stay with Demani) is going to be covering the 1/2 part. Though with Evero's scheme, that box safety can also be one of the three underneath coverage guys depending on how they've got it disguised prior to the snap.
