They’ll draft Cam Newton and have him on the bench for a season. They groom him how the Eagles groomed Vick.

He’d love to trade down 4 or 5 spots and be happy with what he gets there… He’s not taking Cam… don’t panic lol

If they draft a quarterback they are giving up on Clausen too early. They need to try to build the team around him, Steve Smith is not enough, draft A.J. Green for the first pick.

They would probably trade next year’s number 1 to move up in the second round. Their front office is full of natural schrewd negotiators.

What a waste of time to read this… like the Panthers would seriously consider Ryan Mallet at #1. I could definitely see them taking Mallet at the top of the 2nd round. According to that marvelous mock draft (cough, cough), he could still be available.

Its going to be pretty hard to draft Mallet #1 in the second round if your the Panthers….because they traded that pick away last year to the Patriots.

They don’t have much invested in him and consequently that makes him expendable. It would be a very different situation is he had been taken in the top 10 or even the 1st round.

Otherwise Mike Brown will undoubtably take him with pick #4. We’ve all seen how this one goes in Cincy. We REALLY don’t need Akili Smith jr coming here..Bengals already have enough problems without that!!

Mallet also is not considered a #1 pick. Easy decision.

I actually felt bad for Panthers fans.

QB 1, rookie year: 259 attempts, 47.5 comp.%, 7 TD’s – 14 INT’s., Rating 54.9

QB 2, rookie year: 299 attempts, 52.5 comp.%, 3 TD’s – 9 Int’s, Rating 58.4

QB 1 – John Elway, QB2 – Jimmy Clausen.

Is anyone saying Jimmy Clausen will be John Elway? No. But how do you fully evaluate a QB based only on their rookie seasons? It used to be a QB had 3-4 years to develop, now there assessed on their rookie year and dismissed? You spend your 1st pick on a QB 1 year, and then use your 1st pick on a QB again the next year? If Carolina uses it’s first pick on a QB again in this years draft, will their 1st pick in next years draft be used on a QB if Newton, Gabbert, etc. is assessed on their rookie year?
