Yes, the smokescreen is a real tactic...for teams who have to hope a player is their when they pick, not for the team picking 1st overall. Every team that is even remotely considering Cam Newton is doing their own research on the kid, so you're not going to fool them.

Good grief. You're right, we must make everybody think that Cam Newton is the pick, since that is the only way a team will have to contact us about trading up.

Then again, people with a half ounce of common sense can figure out that the Panthers don't have to give any indication at all who their pick will be, and those teams will still have to contact the Panthers first if they want a player that badly.:rolleyes:

What your not understanding is that the team itself might not care about Cam Newton as much as you want them too.

They could very well being trying to convince a team to try to come up and get Cam, because they think (gasp smokescreen) we want him.

I know you might have a hard time fathoming this, but we might not care that much about ole Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire..

It's a very REAL possibility, regardless if you want it to be or not.

The Panthers don't have to convince anybody of anything, except that they might draft any one of these players that they are visiting with. If a team wants to trade up , they can't afford to assume that the Panthers won't draft their guy, so they have no choice but to contact the Panthers.

Again though, if Cam/Gabbert is that good, then it makes no sense for the Panthers to pass on him in the first place because the Panthers need a QB as much as any team in this draft. And believe me, every one of these teams know how good or bad these guys are. It's not like the Panthers have a book of secret information on these prospects that no other team has access to.

Example: The Bills think Cam or Gabbert are a franchise QB. The Panthers do not. It makes perfect sense for the Panthers to pass on them.

If the Bills like one of those guys that much, then they're the team that has an incentive to lay a smokescreen to try and convince the Panthers and Broncos to pass on him.

Anyway, where do people get the idea that Hurney is more capable of working good trades than any of these other GM's? Yeah, he really showed the Patriots how it's done last year, didn't he?:rolleyes:

I'm not arguing that, but just because another team thinks they are that good doesn't mean the Panthers should take them which is what you said.

Well if another team thinks one of these QB's is that good, then why shouldn't the Panthers? They all have the same information.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
