**Official Carolina Panthers 2010/2011 thread**

[yanksbgood]

Maybe I'm just a homer but I still think the Panthers are only a couple of pieces (and a healthy O-Line) away from being serious again. I'd hope they could land the first or second pick and trade it for several high choices and get the pieces they need that way. I don't know why everyone wants Clausen to be benched, Pike or Edwards would do no better, and they're clearly not the future of the position for the team so why not let the guy work out his kinks before next year?

You guys need a QB more than anything. The run game really needs to get going and yeah that probably involves the O-line. You could also use another good WR. Defense is okay.

they just promoted some random quarterback from the practice squad.

Ravens gonna shut us out lol

[cor030]

uhh, they just announced that Tony Pike WASN'T starting.. the random QB(Brian St. Pierre) they JUST signed last week(to the practice squad, lol) is starting.

unbelievable lol.

[Gishdream]

Really? Fox must REALLY hate our draft pics. I hope edwards gets a shot. It will either shut people up about him, or let him shine and build a package around him!

yep, St Pierre was in the NFL 8 years, and threw 5 passes, sounds like the perfect person for us. Forget that we have Pike and Edwards on the bench doing nothing.

On another note, this being the last year on DeAngelo's contract, you think we'll keep him or not?

I really think Fox is losing on purpose to get back at the owner for pretty much giving up on this season before it started.

I think DeAngelo will be back(if he wants to, that is.) Getting injured in a contract year probably decreased his value. I don't think they would have put him on injured reserve if they didn't have any intentions of resigning him.

Gonna be tough resigning a lot of people this off-season though. Some notable names are: Charles Godfrey, Charles Johnson, Ryan Kalil, Thomas Davis, and DeAngelo. I think that Kalil, DeAngelo, Davis, and Johnson are the priorities.

Plus I'm sure Beason will be ready for a contract extension. He has more than outplayed his current contract, that's for sure..

I'm going to the game tomorrow, brahs. Can't wait to see the debut of St. Pierre... WITHOUT Stewart/Williams to support him... against a really good defense...

I was looking forward to it a lot more pre-season than I am now, that's for sure.

[jeremy1ns]

They need to trade that #1 for multiple picks, they have so many needs.

[cor030]

anyone watching this Stanford/Cal game? Andrew Luck is ridiculous.. I don't think we can afford to pass on him if he is there at our pick..

[Riceboi]

does Carolina stand a chance against Baltimore?

[cor030]

does Carolina stand a chance against Baltimore?

if the Ravens treat this like a normal game, then no.

1) the starting quarterback has been on the team for like a week, and was nothing more than a 3rd string backup his entire career(has completed 5 passes in the NFL.)
2) John Fox is pretty much losing on purpose to get back at ownership for the way they handled this off-season(being cheap)
3) both DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart aren't playing

the ONLY way I can see a win is if the Ravens treat this as a free win and come in unprepared.

Hire Harbaugh and draft Luck.

yesplease

[jeremy1ns]

Hire Harbaugh and draft Luck.

I could go for that for sure. They need to clean house in coaching and management.

Whatever QB the panthers put out there tomorrow could press chargers for premeditated murder. I really wouldnt be surprised to see them get shut out. Ill be honest I dont want them to go on a classic John Fox run and finish 7-9, they need a top 3 pick.

And im in the red because UF fans cant take loseing. Some dude neg repped the hell out of me.

I repped you brah, no worries. And from the looks of things someone else has too. On my way to Charlotte for the game. Let's hope the defense can score or Goodson can break off a few long ones.

Was just about to tell ya

[cor030]

Andrew Luck anyone?

[chlaxman]

These announcers are terrible.

"Besides the two picks St. Pierre has played well."

No besides the one throw to Gettis he's been terrible

rofl yeah

If Mike Goodson can fix his fumbling problem he'll be a pretty good running back.

[chlaxman]

Just had a bad thought guys:

What if Richardson decided he didn't want to pay a #1 pick QB and instead draft a lineman? I wish I could say it would surprise me but...

I'm hoping that this whole cheap owner thing is just because of the CBA issue and that things will go back to normal after a new deal is reached.

I hope so.

Here's my wish list and some thoughts:

1. Gruden
2. Luck
3. If not Luck then Mallett or Jefferson from LSU
4. Cowher
5. Anybody other than Jeff Davidson as OC

Can we draft Cam Newton? Maybe the problem is the O Line. Maybe a couple of good O Line draft picks would do the trick.

PleaseGodno

Gruden can not develop young players and is not good with QBs

Agree with everything except drafting O-line. Sure draft maybe 1. But most of the O-line is injured right now. Wharton and Otah both out. Maybe draft another tackle for the right side. So then you have Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Otah, and insert draft pick here. Don't really need more than 1 though. And Locker would be the second choice if Panthers somehow end up with the second pick and don't get Luck. Also agree with Gruden. He actually likes the Panthers, about the only commentator I've heard give them any credit these past few years. Dungy was also mentioned during the game today. So 3 guys(Gruden, Cowher, Dungy), all superbowl winners. Plus throw Harbaugh into the mix. They have a lot to choose from. Only question is who would accept.

[chlaxman]

One other reason I don't want Gruden as coach is he would probably want control over personnel (GM). That rarely ever works.

[cor030]

so what do we do with our running backs next season? Goodson has shown up with back to back 100 yard games, and honestly has outperformed both DeAngelo AND Stewart...

I think that we absolutely have to keep DeAngelo, but it's going to be difficult keeping all of them. maybe move Goodson to receiver and have him play out of the slot? any competent coach could utilize a player like Goodson, but since John Fox doesn't know you can have more than 2 receivers on the field at once he's never gotten a chance.
