If we lose out on him to freakin Buffalo I will be pissed. Aside from having a cannon for an arm he was valedictorian of his high school class. He is majoring in Architectural Design at Stanford. His dad was a former pro football player. If you look at his picture he looks like a nerd. He is exactly who I want playing QB for us. The Sheriff is a big time nerd as well...all of the great ones are. Fact.

Yup we need Buffalo to win. If we both finish with one loss who gets the number 1 pick?

I think it goes by head to head and then divisonal records. Since we don't play Buffalo, it would be our divisional record against theirs. Sorry to those of you that want us to beat Tampa (even though I don't think it'd happen anyways). I hate to say it but continuing to lose is in the best interest of this franchise for the future.

So we'll have drafted 4 QBs in 2 years assuming we do this(even though Armanti was drafted as a WR, he still played QB). I wonder if that has ever been done before lol.

I just hate that the reality is that we can't pass up a chance at this high caliber of a QB in Luck. I just hope management isn't sold enough on Clausen to pass this shot up. Assuming there is a lock out and the NFL has a lottery type draft, I wonder who we will take in the next draft.

IMO there is no way in hell another coach comes in and doesn't hand pick Andrew Luck as his #1 pick at QB if the opportunity is there.

It might be in the best interest of our franchise if we tank to get the number one overall pick in the draft, but there is no way in hell I'm going to be cheering for us to lose. Luck might end up being a great QB, but he also might end up being JaMarcus Russell, Alex Smith, David Carr, or Tim Couch.

There's also a chance Luck might not even enter the NFL draft this season.

I'd much rather we fight to the bitter end, and end up with the 4th or 5th pick in the draft than to tank the season so that we can take a chance on someone that might end up being great, or might end up being a total bust.

I think everyone is overlooking one important little detail here... Andrew Luck is only a redshirt sophomore. He doesn't have to come out of college this season. If he is as smart as you say, he might insist on staying in school another year to get his degree.

It would seem foolish of him to not come out this year with him currently being the unquestioned number one pick, but just remember that at this time last year Jake Locker was going to be the number one overall pick in the 2010 draft.

A. He needs to look at the fact that Bradford got injured when he went back.

B. He needs to look at the fact that Locker lost his #1 grade and maybe lost out on his first round draft grade.

C. I don't think Harbaugh will be at Stanford next year. I think he's heading to the league, which means that Luck will be playing for a new coach. That is never a good idea when you are already the projected #1 pick.

If he doesn't come out then I'd take Ryan Mallett too. He is who I wanted last year anyways. He would have been the 2nd QB taken behind Bradford had he come out.

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

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      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
