What they're writing about the Panthers' draft

[Rod Butsecks]

It isn't often you assign a winning grade to a team that doesn't have a first-round pick. But the Panthers, who dealt this year's first-round pick in a bid to move up for Florida State defensive end Everette Brown last year, get the nod.p/Badly in need of quarterback help after sending Jake Delhomme packing, the Panthers got lucky with Jimmy Clausen falling to them in the second round. And they added even more depth at the position with Wildcat quarterback Armanti Edwards of Appalachian State and Cincinnati's Tony Pike.

i don't understand the whole argument that they shouldn't have drafted a qb if fox is out the door next year. teams need a qb. why make the new coach find one? do they understand how difficult it is to find a franchise qb? you can't just go into a draft or an offseason and expect to find one. when they're there, you have to take them and hope it works out. if the new coach doesn't like clausen, he can just trade him for goodness sakes.

well lets see. it WAS, the panthers cannot succeed this year because they dont have an overhyped quarterback. oh... and they CANT draft one because they dont have a first, because the panthers organization is stupid... for trading away first rounders. but now that they have a hyped up quarterback... that they drafted... without a first... they are still stupid caz of *insert assbackward reason here*... because me the writer refuses to admit being wrong. besides... its not like the panthers have ever been successful... theyve been a talentless, no-name team since their superbowl run, and are totally incapable of having winning seasons.

As for Fox's situation, I LOVE what Gruden said about this during the draft.

He said that it is no big deal. He said that every coach (with only a few exceptions) could be in the last year of their current contract. The only difference is that Fox would not get paid after that one year.
