Is gushing even a word?

I thought only women gushed, you know, like Miss America when she hears her name announced as the winner. Or Paula Abdul when she.........nevermind.

Or Paula Abdul when she.........nevermind.

Next week Paula will be wearing pasties...she needs to keep those puppies covered. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ryan. Cant the Panthers attempt to be competitive this year. Geezzzzzz

or, perhaps Delhomme is not recovering well....hmmm

Not a good sign Jake.......

Mariah Carey should simply just take her clothes off from now on. She barely covers anything anyway.

Nice Ryan Leaf picture...again!

Bad bad bad move by the Panthers if they take Ryan. Let the Falcons have him

Unless the Panthers trade up in the draft there is no way he will be there at #13. If he falls to B'more at 8 they are taking him. QB is not Carolina's biggest need. Everything I've seen or read says Delhomme will be 100% for TC.

I don't think there is a QB worthy of a 1st round pick in this year draft. These guys this year are 3rd picks at best. I think Henne will be the best of the class down the road.

Brady Quinn was better than all of these QB's and look how he slide, thanks to the Dolphins......

Matt Ryan looks a lot like Ryan Leaf, and we know how well that worked out. STOP TALKING TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!

AY caramba...
O-lineman please!!! no qbs!

Panthers will get a "bit" alright - right in the behind for picking Ryan with the 13th pick. Panthers has other needs rather obtaining a quarterback at that slot.

If he goes to the Panthers then he will sit on the bench for a season. But no question he would start for them next year.

If Ryan falls to 13 and the Panthers draft him, they need to consider trading him for an offensive lineman. Having a good QB doesn't do anyone any good if there's no one to block for him.

First, we are putting way to much into Hurney's statement. Ryan is arguably the best all-around QB in the draft, of course the Panthers would like to have him but they would also love to have elite players in the draft...who wouldn't. As for the possibility of Jake Delhomme being out of a starting job, don't hold your breath. He solidified his spot last season while on injured reserve, mainly due to the horrible job David Carr (former #1 overall pick) did while he was out. I expect Carolina to pick up a QB in the draft, but Ryan is just out of the question without trading up to the Top 5 draft order.
