I know Christian Ponder looks the part....but was he that guy who freaked out drunk outside of a frat party buck naked and claimed himself to be Jesus Christ???

If it was, that should be the biggest red flag ever.

lmao no that was years ago. as a Fsu fan, that was the funniest thing ever. I believe the kids name was wyatt sexton.

Yea but i don't think weinke's arm was a good as ponders. plus the fact he had zero upside due to the fact he was almost 30 when we drafted him.

Totally disagree. Weinke was known to throw a deep ball with great touch. Given he was 27 and had played pro baseball, he should have had greater poise than Ponder and been more pro ready. It just underlines how hard it is to judge who is going to succeed and who won't.

I can understand that. Not much you can compare of the two. Other than being old,i just can't find a single reason why weinke failed...........

Yeah it couldn't have been him. Must be due to something else. I wonder if the same logic applies to Luck this year.

Depends on who you are comparing Luck to.

There is no doubt that Weinke was on a better team. When you have better talent around you, and better coaching, you can look better. That MIGHT be why he looked better than Ponder. Then again, it MIGHT not be. We will find out if Ponder is indeed a better QB than Weinke was.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
