GM Dave Gettleman on #Panthers fourth-round pick Tre Boston: "He sets a tone, he's a very physical player.

 

Seems an aggressive backfield is still something we are very much interested in after the departure of Mike Mitchell. Does Boston have the swagger necessary?

Like I said in another thread.  My friend breaths and sleeps UNC.  He said that Boston came in as a highly rated player that never quite panned out.  he said that Boston has decent speed and athleticism, but gives up too many big plays over the top.  He said that there is no way he would have drafted Boston and could have justified taking James Hurst at that pick, and he would have been a lot happier.

Sounds like Deon Grant

I'm just excited cause I feel Rivera and wills can get the best out of any defensive players.

You give them a guy with some "reasons as to why they can make it", and it is not beyond them to make a really good football player.

I swear call be a tard but I feel we have the perfect combo of HC and GM.

We have a GM who has supposedly a good eye for talent, And a HC who at least defensively can get the most out of that talent. That's really exciting to me. Its not name driven, or a popularity contest. We get players in the building one way or another systematically, almost by formula to mold and build what we want to build.

UNC's defense gave up over 240 yards a game to opposing quarterbacks.

Why anyone would draft a member of the Tar Heel's secondary is beyond me.

I don't care if he hits hard because that's not even 50% of the game. Boston can play the run and that is it, if you're relying on him to be a cover safety then you are screwed.

I'm a Carolina fan by the way.

I think he could look very, very bad this preseason. Whether it's because he's raw or not ready for the NFL is undecided, but in college the dude at times looked absolutely lost.

Sure, he can hit hard. But man, he looked straight confused sometimes in coverage.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
