LOL, thank you!

If Luck doesn't come out, then I'm of the opinion that we should try to trade down and get a high 2nd round pick back. It will be much easier to trade out of the 1st or 2nd overall pick this year with a rookie pay scale on the horizon.

but then the huddle will have to figure out what to do with jimmy...again!

It is starting to look more and more like Cowher and Carolina might join forces. I think it has been the plan all along, why Cowher waited and why JR did not re-sign Fox and cleaned house--defensively for the most part. He knew the coversion to the 3-4 would be expensive. Then his letter comes out the same week Cowher proclaims interest in the league when only 3-4 jobs are obvious? We drafted Eric Norwood--how does he fit the 4-3? We drafted a former QB turned WR hybrid. Slash II?

This will influence the draft. After nabbing a QB, the Panthers will use free agency to build the D and an OL. JR has given Cowher a lot of room under the cap to build the D he wants. This also suggests (possibly) that Cowher will be given the power to make personnel decisions. I cannot be sure that he has not already been involved.

This is pure speculation, not based on anything but loosely-constructed circumstantial evidence, if evidence at all. When Marino made a comment about Cowher and the Panthers and later apologized, it suggested that there may be more to this than anyone on the outside knows. Does it make sense to anyone else, or do you all think I am on drugs?

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
