Mayock had a fun quote for those of you wanting a QB:

"One of them has to go to Carolina at #1"

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-path-to-the-draft/09000d5d81efc19a/Gabbert-vs-Newton

Says that you have to pull the trigger on Gabbert or Newton, depending on who you like. Also says neither will get out of the top 5. When asked if we liked Newton more than Gabbert as reports have indicated, he says that Carolina is trying to generate as much interest as possible in BOTH quarterbacks so they can try to get a trade and says that is exactly what they are doing and that he does not see a clear favorite right now being obvious.

I understand where he is coming from. I am warming to a QB a little. I just feel like we are so young at the spot anyway, this isn't going to help us much when both of these guys are going to need some adjustment period.

I like Mayock more than the others, but he has no more the ear of the Panthers brass than we do. Amusingly enough, Hurney is the one calling this shot and by all reports he still believes Clausen is going to be "that guy," so maybe we pass on a QB for now.

but I really hope he doesn't have so much trust in Clausen we go into the season without some serious competition for him.

Yep, I was just about to post this. Makes sense I guess. I don't listen to a lot of people when it comes to the draft, but Mayock is one of them. If he says that there's no way either of them are making it out of the top 5... I'll buy that.

Mayock:

SMOKESCREEN!!!

only sort of. You talk up both guys, even if you like them both, or hate them both, or whatever. that way, if the arizonas of the world are slobbering all over Gabbert, you may just get them to bite on a trade, load up draft picks, and still pick up some damn good talent at #5.

not to say they aren't interested in Newton or Gabbert or whatever, just that it can serve more than one purpose to talk 'em up.

I'm not sure whether all the support Hurney has shown toward Clausen is sincere or GM speak. I mean it is pretty much a given that Clausen will be on this team next year and I doubt any GM would say about a QB on his roster "Yeah, he sucks. We are done with him"

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      Film Room Playlist _ NFL Pro — Mozilla Firefox 2024-11-25 10-20-11.mp4 🎯🎯🎯 There were a couple of "fans" yesterday saying that this wasn't a helmet-to-helmet shot... 👀 Looks like based on where Moore was and where the play ended, he'd have gotten maybe just a yard or two more. Chuba was downed at the KC 16 and Moore was on his way back to the QB, so the offense got what they could for the most part. After reviewing the all-22, Bryce made the right call here. Tremble was the hot and KC sent both LBs. He gets it out with a clear pocket but it's quickly collapsing. If there was a little more time it looked like AT came free at the end but whether or not Bryce would've been upright still is another story. Smart move to get the completion and keep the field goal in play to stay alive. George Karlaftis is about to get himself a big ole hug and Bryce heaves it to where David Moore is going. Trent McDuffie slipped just a step or two before this shot, but we can see the clear DPI here as he's wrapped around David Moore before knocking him over as the ball gets there.

      I’m taking a TE early day 3 Ian Thomas and Tremble are FA.  We should have no desire to bring them back.   There’s more than enough film of ball bouncing off their hands or facemask.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Daniel Jones sometimes would sling it for 300 or 400 yards.  That's my stance.  We know what Bryce is.  If you consistently play any QB at this level, they largely are going to end up w/ some good days/games.  last time Mahomes was at BOA, Teddy Bridgwater threw for 300+ yards and a couple TDs and the Matt Rhule Panthers almost took him down.  We know what Bryce is.  Now we got people predictably falling into a predictable trap.
