In the wake of the events Columbus there are reports of five prospects, some of whom could peak the Carolina Panthers' interests should they choose to enter the supplemental draft, rather than wait and possible be suspended for an entire NCAA season. Remember that as the team with the worst record in 2010 Carolina would be awarded a player should they place an equal bid on him.

I'd be one to take a look at pryor in the fifth, incase newton goes down the offense wouldn't have to change very much for another mobile QB. But at the same time, he has value as an athlete and is much more athletic than newton. He could play wr or even tight end. Also WR DeVier Posey was projected as a 2-3 round talent. Both could be steals thanks to that awful ohio state disaster.

As raw a pryor is he was the number 1 player overall coming out of high school. some reguarded him as a lebron james type talent. Given the right coach and grooming he could become a nice trading chip for a cheap price. That kind of talent for a fifth or later round pick is to good to pass up.

whats the risk of drafting a talent like his with a fifth or later pick? No one is saying he even has to play QB. This team is in need of talent regaurdless of position. Jimmy is as good as gone. Grabing an athlete of this caliber who could have been a 2-3 round pick this season is to good to pass up. Yes we have cam and he is the future of the franchise but passing on a "athlete" with the potential to play the number of positions this kid can play would be a shame.

First of all I don't like Pryor from the way he handled the Ohio State situation. I think we can put our big boy pants on and say most big time football players at big time schools receive "benefits", but Pryor comes off as a jack ass to me. If we took Pryor it would make us even more of a laughing stock and whipping boy in the media.

Second he's not a position of need, we don't need another young quarterback we've got too many young QBs as is. I wouldn't mind taking that one 6'3 receiver they've got...couldn't hurt.

I would have rather drafted Tyrod than Pryor if I had to pick between the two....but with that said if we did draft him in the supplemental draft, that means next years pick would be taken away. So would you be comfy with knowing we drafted 4 kinda 5 QB's in the past 3 years? We would be the Lions of QB's if that happened.

First, you have absolutely no evidence that Jimmy is as good as gone.

Why would we release a 2nd round QB that was thrown into a horrible situation....just to draft ANOTHER questionable QB.

We would make the Cleveland Browns look like a brain trust if we pulled a moronic stunt like that.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
