Problem is we already played our hand saying we would draft him. Now teams know 100% that we don't really want the #1 pick and won't offer shit via trade.

1/6/2011 2:54:30 PM

what are the chances that he renegs before January 15th?

Only if there's a player worth trading up for.

No one is giving up the farm for Dequan Bowers or Nick Fairley

dweedle seems awfully schadenfreudian this afternoon

1/6/2011 2:57:57 PM

it's going to be reallllly interesting to see what we do at qb now, I can't imagine we won't have another option besides clausen again

1/6/2011 2:58:32 PM

theyre gonna let the clock expire and let other teams leap frog us untill the picks aren't so expensive

1/6/2011 2:58:44 PM

I'm not really that mad about not getting Luck, I like him and think he'll be really good but don't think he's guaranteed to be the next peyton manning or anything. Now I'm just mad that we will have to pay someone #1 pick money when I don't think anyone stands out as a clear cut best player worth that kind of money.

Not that it's my money, but it does affect the team because of the salary cap.

fucking shit....of course the one chance we're set up to draft a can't miss franchise quarterback and he stays in school. i say trade down and get two first rounders or a first, second, and late round. Nobody else besides Luck is worth taking #1 in this draft. bowers will be good but not dominant, and we could still get AJ green with the 4th or 5th pick maybe

1/6/2011 3:08:21 PM

i say draft him anyway

that might actually be a good idea if it were ever possible

1/6/2011 3:15:35 PM

I hope he has a terrible senior season.

I want all his offensive linemen to go pro or get suspended so he's sacked at least 60 times, I want Harbaugh to leave and get replaced by Ralph Fridgen, I want somebody to come out of nowhere and steal both the heisman and the #1 overall away from him, and I want him to get at least 2 girls pregnant who both demand ridiculous child support.

[Edited on January 6, 2011 at 3:18 PM. Reason : I wont wish injury on him though, I'm not vindictive or anything.]

1/6/2011 3:16:37 PM

cant we give him money or something and frame him so it looks like he knew about it

1/6/2011 3:18:11 PM

If only he'd get cancer.

If only he'd get cancer and die.

1/6/2011 3:18:31 PM

I don't think there's any, ANY way that the panthers can trade down out of the number one slot now. Who the fuck would want to trade up this year? There's no "can't miss" talent at the top now, amiright?

1/6/2011 3:24:45 PM

1/6/2011 3:25:10 PM

not that it affects anything im but im tryin to decide whether i would actually prefer no professional football for a whole year in order to get him the next year lol

1/6/2011 3:26:04 PM

What if we got the top pick next year, then he says he's coming back for his senior year


JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT.....THEY PULLLLLL ME BACK IN

1/6/2011 3:27:16 PM

I'm trying to see how big the meltdown is at the big panthers sites, and I can't even load the page.

That must mean it's pretty bad.

1/6/2011 3:28:46 PM

the CBSSportsNFL twitter feed suggested everyone follow gantt for the panthers meltdown

1/6/2011 3:29:55 PM

what are the big panthers sites these days?

I get all my info from here, Scott Fowler and Mike Florio

1/6/2011 3:30:27 PM

i, too, was wondering what those big sites were other than twitter/charlotte.com

i remember panthersfreaks.net had a cool Peppers header where a light glimmer would go across his eyeshield

http://www.carolinahuddle.com/ seemed to be the most active when I was looking for sites a few days back after the orange bowl. I don't have an account or anything but it seemed busy then. Now I can barely reach the front page.

[Edited on January 6, 2011 at 3:32 PM. Reason : ]

1/6/2011 3:32:16 PM

Didn't you quit posting on one site because people started bashing Peppers?

Pansy

1/6/2011 3:32:24 PM

never said that, never posted on any panther sites

1/6/2011 3:33:25 PM

I think you did

1/6/2011 3:34:00 PM

every panthers site probably bashed peppers at some point

1/6/2011 3:34:50 PM

fuck it, I'm on the Cam Newton bandwagon

1/6/2011 3:36:44 PM

Harbaugh to the Dolphins apparently. Makes Luck's decision even stranger.

1/6/2011 3:38:21 PM

was just gonna post that i just wanna get Newton w/ the pick, at least it would be exciting

other than the money thing, his character doesn't really look like it has issues

1/6/2011 3:39:40 PM

i too am on the newton ban wagon. wow who the hell would you take #1. dont say bowers please.

1/6/2011 3:42:14 PM

1/6/2011 3:42:39 PM

I put my scout hat on for the last two BCS games, I guess I'll do the same come Monday

1/6/2011 3:42:43 PM

The only way I'd be ok with getting Newton #1 is if the rookie wage scale is in place.

1/6/2011 3:42:59 PM

panthers should do Jim Tressel a favor and proclaim they'll draft Terrelle Pryor with the pick

1/6/2011 3:45:58 PM

a tight end with the #1 pick overall?

1/6/2011 3:47:38 PM

allegedly purchased is good enough for me

Le Batard says Harbaugh has accepted the Dolphins job, before Sparano has even been fired

1/6/2011 3:54:34 PM

this is awesome. panther nation melts down to rock bottom today! hey the lock out may not be so bad now. i bet jerry tells the owners he will pay them not to sign a deal this season.
