Should the panthers take a look at players in the supplemental draft?


Recommended Posts

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.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
