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

      Canales was brought in to fix Bryce. That was how he sold himself. He failed.  the panthers need a new qb, someone to coach him, and someone to build a defensive staff.  Canales has failed at developing a new qb. His big draft project XL is trending towards bust. His entire nfl resume before the panthers was one season as offensive coordinator on a stacked Bucs team, and being on the offensive staff when a 31 year old Geno smith finally put it all together. And he didn’t even pick his offensive coordinator. Assuming evero is gone, who’s he got in that phone to call? What low lvl porn addict evangelical from the bucs is ready to be Peter principled? There is nothing in his coaching history or his current performance that indicates he’s the person to move this team forward. Every other team knew this last cycle (panthers were only interview) and nothing has happened to change that perception   all people like you have is “well you can’t do it again it’s too soon but <random interval of time> will be different.  just pull off the bandage. There’s no reason to let this guy draft “his guy” except people wanting an excuse not to fire him after 2025.

      Both Reich and Canales were saddled with trying to build and establish a viable scoring offense around Bryce Young. The best the offense looked this season and last season was with Andy Dalton who is also terrible but still better than Bryce Young. Which should be all anyone needs to know but still somehow there are weirdos here salivating over a ceiling of maybe on a really good day the 25th best QB in the league. We've already canned one entire staff over our first overall pick. You can fire everyone again to satisfy your need for vengeance and quickly come to the realization that your next hire will absolutely unequivocally be a downgrade yes man or you can blow up this QB room and then assess. If no progress next season then you can make changes and justifiably so.
