Some of y'all have an image of Justin Fields that I just don't see I guess. He hasn't really done anything extraordinary other than be a QB we didn't draft. If he were putting up CJ Stroud level of numbers and leading the Bears to the playoffs then I'd get it.. But he's been on an equally abysmal team who has drafted just as poorly. Just don't see how he could elevate us when he couldn't elevate the Bears.

From the looks of it, both of our coordinators will be gone in 2 years with how hot they are on the rise. It will be a true testament to see if Frank Reich can prove himself to be Belichick and Andy Reid vs Ron Rivera in that regard.

browns realizing they just gotta use their RBs. Something McAdoodoo can't figure out

first half about to end and we've ran the ball 4 times

anyone at the game, can yall start a "Run the Ball" chant

At least we paid a good punter

baker is 6. apparently worked it out with hekker

The idea is that measurables can make up for bad technique since snap to snap you can have inconsistency with technique due to a variety of moves a defense can make. If that extra 1-2 inches can keep a defender off your qb when in an unfavorable position, all the better. It's like QBs that can launch it despite having guys draped over them.

Something Rhule said during the press conf today was that he wants supreme athletes who can put it on tape. Fitt also said their criteria for trading down was if the value didn't match the player that was at the top of their board at the time (or something to that extent). They weren't afraid to miss out on a player if they felt the value of trading down got them a net positive. That said, if you look at our draft history for the past 20 years.. It's pretty obvious which drafts got people fired. https://www.panthers.com/history/draft There's a few drafts in there that look straight embarrassing in retrospect. From 2011, only Cam made it past year 2. 2011 draft screwed us hard in 2014 where normally a lot of those players would be on a contract year. We stumbled but luckily other teams in our division stumbled worse. We lucked out. What this says is if you're picking players that are not even good for depth, then you're not going to run a successful team in the long term. A once in a generation player can pull your team higher but not as high if the base talent level of the team isn't that great. Rhule wants guys who already have powerful self-motivation and drive to be better and great. All these guys have something to prove and have a chip on their shoulder and want to beast on people. These aren't quiet guys who fade away like many of those draft picks of the past that disappear after 3 years. (We Hope) All in all, so far I think we're getting players to set the tone for the team. We may not be addressing needs aggressively or protecting the Darnold at all costs.. but we're getting guys who will buy in because they want to succeed too. Whether or not that actually works out is yet to be seen. We won't know until their Rookie contracts are up or they get cut in year 2.

dw bout it

huddle gonna meltdown no matter who the pick. better get my popcorn ready

P good interview from long before the draft with Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden talking to this kid. Gives an insight on what makes this guy tick and why both these proven corners already saw him going top10. Jaycee also has his own youtube channel with his prep going into proday and pre-draft stuff if yall are interested. We won't know how good he actually is until we play him but it's exciting and better than being glum i guess.

At least they have more sacks than points

Texans came in with no gameplan. Unfortunate that anyone from the AFC South made it into the playoffs.

The simple fact is, Cam makes the team around him better. Russell Wilson had to wait for his team to get better before he started to look good.

What's funny is, Kansas City is way hotter than Seattle right now and no one pays them any attention.

Their defense should be dead tired now. they gave everything just to make a few plays and they're still getting run over and passed over. their offense has only scored 1 TD on colin jones. saints can only cage us up for so long.

i mean. do boykin and olsen need extra work? no. it's preseason. let guys who need more work get it.

there's a huddle steam group afaik. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/carolinahuddle# don't think anyone has used it since we made it years ago.

there yall go
