we're interested in colt mccoy

[2jakefansinva]

so this asshat is saying....the panthers are going to draft someone who can throw the ball (which we don't need) before we draft someone who can catch the ball (which we really need)

makes me believe he watches the panthers weekly.

[The Don]

fail. total smoke screen. lol hurney is so smart... we'll trade up, yeah... making everyone think we're just gonna go after colt mccoy before anyone else can trade up... then we'll take golden tate or arrelious benn. i'm not stupid, adam schefter may be though.

I think I will wait and see what happens...

Smartest post in this thread.

Also, not long ago, we were told by a source we trust that the Panthers were interested in The Golden Calf of Bristol in Round 2, but not McCoy. We don't think that has changed.

Besides, Carolina seems committed to keeping next year's first-round pick and also not dealing away their third or fourth round picks this year

I mean Jimmy Calusen is on the board.

Why are we more interested in a small, weak armed QB when a stud from a pro style is still on the god damn board.

I mean

just

ugh god dammit.

i was kind of thinking the same thing. are we assuming he wont be there to what ever spot CAR might be able to trade up to.

Smokescreen... 100%...

There are teams ahead of us that could use a WR and a QB... If they think we are threatening to jump up to snag McCoy, they'll be more focused on that than looking over their WR lists...

[Ricky Spanish]

i'll believe it when i see it

[Zod]

McCoy is a good fit for what Fox looks for. Lives and breathes football, good leadership skills.

[pstall]

McCoy looks like a salesman at Footlocker.

Nah

[OneBadassCat]

I don't think we will take him. I don't see how you can show so much faith in Moore, especially when you cut ties with Jake Delhomme for him only to draft an unproven guy. Maybe in the 4th round, but 2-3rd I don't see a QB.

We finally have a guy in Moore who looks like he can be our guy, and now the front office wants to try to find a franchise quarterback -- even when there will be some great receivers on the board when they pick?

Why didn't they try to do this years ago?

It won't matter who's throwing the ball if there's only one guy to throw it to and he's double-covered (for the record, I think some of the young receivers on the team will step up -- but you get my point).

[Claws]

I wish we would take him.

He's worth the pick imho.

i agree we need a reciever this year, if moore doesnt work out we can always draft one next year

[Mr. Scot]

don't trust la canfora..how many times does he say we are interested in someone just because of his own opinion..his source is probably some radio host or reporter..

He used to be a pretty good source, but overt he past year I've seen him whiff more than a few times. He actually reported that we had signed a DL from Kansas City (forget his name) and it never happened.

Very possible. The Browns are one of those teams.

McCoy fits way better into the kind of system Holmgren prefers (but isn't running...yet) than he does our offense.
