I dont see the point. Right now we have 2 developmental QB's on the roster. we dont need a third. The only reason we should draft a QB is if we think they can come in and start right away like Flacco or Ryan. Thats why I think the only QB's we should consider are Gabbert and Newton (even though I really dont think we should even consider Newton)

Would anyone be down with the Panthers taking a shot at Tyrod? NFL.com has him compapred to Vick, and NFLN said hes actually the most accurate passer in the draft, and the fastest qb...Could be a late steal or be the next Tavaris Jackson...thoughts?

Nope. another dual threat athlete that was a gimmick QB in college trying to change the NFL and will bust like the rest.

I wish the Panthers could take Tyrod Taylor, but unfortunately I couldn't see taking him unless he was still out there in the 7th (and I don't see that happening).

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles scoop him up to develop under Vick.

Unlike Newton, he was in a Pro Offense. about 60-40 Run-Pass too. He had virtually forever in the pocket sometimes based on defenses being afraid of his ability to scramble. VT vs UNC game and the ACC Championship game as well as the game against Nebraska from last year demonstrate this very well. Taylor's got a better feel for when to jet than Newton right now. If this guy was 6'2 or 6'3, he'd be higher on people's boards (especially when he did better or tied with Newton on every measurable at the combine). I don't think calling him a gimmick QB is very accurate. He was a Steve Young type pocket passer who could buy time outside of the pocket while trying to make a throw.

From all the information we have gathered on what type of offense Carolina will run, I don't really think TT would be the ideal fit. If we run a similar offense to SD then we would need a QB who is able to throw deep often and I really don't think TT has the arm strength.

I wonder if that is why they are potentially looking at Newton over Gabbert, because of his arm strength

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE.

      You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.

      [The Athletic] Do teams pay attention to NFL media mock drafts? Maybe more than you’d expect

      According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
