I know I do. This one is positive though, sorry.

Whitfield has seen rapid development in a quarterback whom some draft analysts believe could be a top-three draft pick.

"Once we got on the board, he was very bright, very articulate," Whitfield said. "He could not just lay out coverages and where people belong. He could also give you the indicating factors of why this coverage actually is going to wind up rolling down or why this back-side, boundary corner is actually more aggressive than he looks.

you just breath negativity don't you?

Ever notice how some fans confuse Realist with negativity? If he was anywhere near as good as he thinks he is or as some fans want to make him out to be, he would be making a ton of jack for a team. This is a QB ran league and you bet your ass they will pay for QB coaches.

Just out of curiosity, what will you do if we do draft Newton? You gonna still be this negative if he's the new face of the franchise?

At that point being a fan will make me hope he becomes what everyone else hopes to. I will hope he could take the reigns of this team and becomes the first elite QB the Panthers have ever let touch a football on their field. I will support him and cheer for him at games and I will pay JR to go to them as much as I don't respect him for what he did last year. I will do my part as a fan. But this goes for any QB that starts, including Clausen.

Still, I don't want him with the first pick.

Interesting connection that Whitfield worked with Phillip Rivers, Rivera so frequently mentions Rivers when talking about the kind of QB he's looking for that Whitfield's work with Cam could carry much more weight for him than normal.

If Cam can ace the chalk talk as this article suggests he should be able to, get ready to see him in a Panthers uniform.

Fair enough.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
