locker that is....(or bradford)just going out on a limb here. but what would it cost us to make this happen. i m just curious what the board thinks would be the cost for us to jump this high and make it happen.

No one knows what it would cost, not even the (so called) experts.

But if you just want an opinion..........WAY TOO MUCH!

Jake Locker is anything but a sure thing. He is inaccurate and struggled against most of the decent defenses he played this season. All the first round hype surrounding the guy is a joke. He's a project who has the mechanics and arm strength to be an NFL QB, not an immediate starter.

and who would u prefer...no qb is a sure thing and jake's been decent from the start this kids done more with less his whole career than all these other pretenders. if u gonna miss on a prospect i d rather miss on a kid with tons of upside than pike or colt.....

I have never understood the obsession with Jake Locker. He was bad as a first year starter. He was mediocre this year. Against good teams, he struggled. I'm not saying he can't play in the NFL, I just don't understand why everyone assumes he can.

well i think its not that hes been stellar its that hes done more with less. this kid has beaten usc wit little to no help. i challenge u to name another offensive teammate of his. his situation is similar cutler at vand. hes done well with what he had which wasnt much. while is arm isnt in the same league as cutlers, he is a leader, has the "it" factor,and is bigger and stronger than most. the most important thing is he is a passer first with all the tools to be just as effective a runner as ur pat whites,jarret browns, and most running qbs.

I agree he doesn't have much help, but Locker did not beat USC. The team did. In a normal year, 16 points against USC wouldn't keep you within 2 touchdowns of the Trojans. Watching him play, he doesn't show much in the way of physical tools that make him stand out. I will admit I only really watched him play twice this year, so maybe my opinion is unfounded. Like I said, I don't think he will definitely be a bad player, I just don't understand why he is getting so much hype already. That and I think he is going back for his senior year.

i ll agree with he the team beat usc,but u know the qb gets all the credit good or bad and he was the leader. i dont see a senario where he chooses to return to washington and lose. once again when "could" be the number one qb off the boards or even the number 2 which he would land him more cash this season than the rookie scale that ll be in place next season. whatever he desides to do or where he goes he ll be losing might as well lose with the rams or browns and get a big check than for free with washington.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
