I imagine that if St. Louis or Minny gets the no. 1 pick, they'll dangle it for trade bait and go for a coup for draft picks. Someone like the Redskins would definitely do it.
Both Ponder and Bradford have shown that they can succeed when they get the proper tools around them, over Luck who is still unproven and mostly hype. Bradford hasn't played well this season compared to his rookie season, but that's just because he has been playing hurt all season. Plus, both those guys have current love affairs with their front offices. If anything, they are in a battle for OT Matt Kalil.
You can't just quit on a young QB after you committed to him in the first round. It's just not economical or sensible.
As for my Panthers, currently they are projected to pick in the 6th-8th range. Hopefully, we can win out and push that back a bit. A DT is the primary need, but the problem is there is a pretty weak DL class this year, so the Panthers may have to go best player available.
Hello, Morris Claiborne, Rick Reiff or Alshon Jeffery!

No, we don't - Luck.

To be fair, Orlovksy had been basically out of the league for the pass year and was brought back in at week 3 after being cut in the preseason. It's not like they had any reason to have faith in him.
