There's a lot of people saying picking number one doesn't mean much...

I only have one name to say in relation to this argument, and if it wasn't for him a franchise would have been stuck in mediocrity with Blaine Gabbert.

#1 overall pick, 2011 NFL draft- Cam Newton

Sometimes the tank is worth it in order to have the choice of the guy you want. Poo me all you want on this post, but I'm sorry that I don't want to watch another failed retread get us to 5 wins again next year with no hope in the next year either.

i agree. people who say the number 1 pick doesnt matter are not very knowledgeable of the game. having your pick of the litter could be the difference between like u said cam or blaine.. or payton manning and ryan leaf... Get your guy first and not pick off the leftovers.

In 3rd spot after this week, not bad

We are pretty clearly taking a QB no matter where we pick in round 1.  If we win enough that we're around 8-15, then I see us trading up to get one.  Simple as that.  There's as of now, 3 (maybe 4) high first round QBs so I'm not going to waste the time getting frustrated if we're sitting at 1 one week, 4 the next, etc.

I find it funny the past 2 years people here on the huddle were saying how deep this QB class was, now all of a sudden only 2 of them are good.

Not true, they could have taken Von Miller AJ Green plenty of others that QB class was super weak after Cam.....

 

This team has never truly escaped mediocrity no back to back winning seasons and no super bowl championships.

2nd spot

There's 4 QBs in this draft I would be good with. 

The cam Newton year, he was the only one (I mean after luck reconsidered). I wanted nothing to do with yo Gabba gabbert at any point in that season. It was cam or nothing.

That's not the case this year.

I wonder if the Bears felt the same way about Trubisky or the Browns about Baker....

I want the #1 pick.  Gives you all options.   Including trading down and people generally give up a comical amount these days.

Picking number 1 means you suck. 

Picking 6, 7, 8 means you suck too.  Just with less options in the draft.

I would love to have the number one pick next year.  But we probably have to much talent to get it on our own.  We are better than several NFL teams.   And it would be absurd to rip the team apart to ensure we get it.

So I assume you want to lose out so we can get that "Franchise QB" that we are so longing for?

The hell with playing to win, working hard to get better.  It's all about that mystic Super Bowl winning QB.

I want a QB that can be a 10 to 15 year starter as much as you but, I cannot support nor believe a franchise, Carolina or anyone else tanking for a draft pick.

If you don't build a good team around that quarterback...

 

...it doesn't.
