I really don't care about a fight in high school.

Wilson's arm talent and ability to throw lasers off platform is really rare. That wouldn't have changed this year.

I just don't really care for the pick. That's all. Glad you like it.

https://larrybrownsports.com/football/former-panther-graham-gano-calls-out-mishandling-injury/585838 Giants kicker Graham Gano, who was with Carolina from 2012 to 2019, called out the Panthers this week for mishandling an injury he suffered in 2018. Gano says that the team misdiagnosed a left leg injury that ultimately cost him the entire 2019 campaign. “It was potentially career-ending,” said Gano, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. “That whole thing was mismanaged. They told me I had one injury when it was actually a lot worse than that. What really needed to be fixed wasn’t. I shouldn’t have missed the full season I did. But there’s no changing it now, so I’m just thankful to be playing here [in New York].” The former Pro Bowler suffered a fractured left femur and did not recover until he underwent knee surgery in 2019 after getting a second opinion at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery. Gano also says that his departure from the Panthers was frustrating because they cut him without giving him a chance to kick again after he got healthy.

He has some intriguing traits for sure. My concern is just that his biggest weakness is very easily exploited by modern NFL offenses. Maybe he can develop there. We'll see. But if you put LBs who can't cover on the field in today's NFL, you're going to get eaten up by TEs, RBs out of the backfield, and slot WRs across the middle. They're going to isolate him and go to work.

Oh, we're going to get one of those now? That's by far the most exciting news of the off-season!

Physically? Absolutely. Between the ears? No clue.

This isn't your father's NFL. If you can't cover or rush the passer at LB you're going to struggle to get on the field. The old school thumping run stoppers have been getting phased out for over a decade now.

Yeah, I think he's going into a good roster situation with Wentz being cuttable after this season not to mention fragile. We're a tough situation for a rookie QB to walk into with our staffing situation. It was past time for us to part ways with Ron but for all his flaws Matt Rhule makes Ron Rivera look like Vince Lombardi in comparison.

You can't win with Darnold. Get the kid in as quick as we can get him ready and let him sink or swim. Don't "pull a Christensen" and leave him on the bench behind a trash vet and barely give yourself a chance to evaluate him in actual game situations.

If we weren't taking Howell then Corral was my #2.

Did not like this pick. Yes, he has great measurables but he absolutely CANNOT cover. He allowed a 75% completion rate in coverage. That's insane. He must not have made any plays on the ball. Hell, 25% of the time it's going to be a bad throw, a throw impacted by the pass rush, or a dropped ball.

Hopefully this year's Trey Smith.

Intriguing pick. Crazy athlete. Good gamble at that point in the draft. If nothing else potentially an intriguing special teamer who could develop into more.

It wouldn't shock me.

Where there's a cap will there's a cap way. The Saints have proven it for years.

GB, KC, and Baltimore would all seem like good candidates to potentially trade for him and good situations for Robby too. Win all the way around.

I don't think we can afford to trade up for anything other than a QB.

It's gonna have to be in the draft then. It's been well proven that decent vet QBs with the ability to hold some sway in their destination don't choose Carolina.

No. Why would they?

We seriously have people ready to label a guy a flat out bust after a promising rookie season and a sophomore slump on a terrible team?

Looks like trash. Maybe London is the next Fitzgerald, but I think he's more likely to be considerably less. Penning seems like a decent pick there though.

Before noon weekday day drinking? Still over 8 hours before day two of the draft kicks off. Better pace yourself.

I'd be just fine forgetting about that.

Because there aren't many coaches with the chops to pull it off. Not many coaches can pull a Dean Smith and evolve from running the Four Corners offense to running your butt off in the shot clock era.
