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.

Couldn't agree more. We have a GM who knows talent & a coach with a great track record getting the most out of his defensive players. To many fans cry before the coaches even get a chance the fix the problems which is a shame. I love the Boston pick was able to watch him a lot & definitely has the talent to be good to very good. I think he's better sever as a FS has good ball hawking ability

If that's true then this wasn't that good of a pick because giving up big plays over the top was one of our main problems.

 

Tre was no 4* or 5* recruit in any capacity.  And if you look at his career production its hard to see the "he never panned out".  There were many frustrating plays, but you have to evaluate the talent.  I believe DG sees things in Boston that as a fan whose watched him over the years can understand.

 

Since Quinn and Austin were dismissed Carolina struggled to find consistent play on the d line.  Boston was often chasing down long run plays in addition to trying to cover for extended periods due to lackluster and inconsistent pass rush.  When Lipford and Otis(both future NFL prospects) began to solidify themselves you saw more plays made all around.

Well you know what dude? I'm not even going to act like I follow college football enough to respond to your post. I would (and now I'm definitely going to since he's a Carolina Panther) have to do some homework on Boston before I could add my 2 cents to this conversation. All I can say now is, at the end of the day...I hope you're right.

The more games I watch on this kid, the more I like him. Best player other than Kareem Martin on the defense. 

 

That's a stretch...

 

Norkeithus Otis was probably the second best defenive player on our defense and Tim Scott was easily the best secondary player on our defense.

 

Shawn Underwood and Travis Hughes were also decent as well.

3 head coaches I believe. Butch Davis, Withers, and Fedora.

 

WITHERS! Forgot him.  Seriously, if people are going to criticize him for getting beat deep, etc.  they need to look at all he has been through.  I think he is a gem and we are going to be elated that we drafted him in the near future.

So this is supposed to be getting abused is it. A pick for a TD and a fumble recovered. Yeah, that late play where he lets the guy by him is bad but sometimes I wonder what people expect from players. Do you expect the guys to be making every play in the game?

 

 

 

Carolina had one of the weakest pass rushes while running one of the most vanilla schemes in college football.  For any DB to make any plays in that defense is miraculous.  There are very few blitzes and hardly any confusing coverage.  Also they have had multiple coaches during Boston's tenure.  With good coaching and a better scheme, Boston could be a difference maker.

Duke has more ACC football relevancy than UNC.

 

And there ya have it, folks. My suspicions confirmed about your ignorant opinions on a football player you probably watched one time last season. 

 

PS - your dookies haven't won a bowl game in 3 decades.

UNC ranked 39th in the nation in sacks.  That's in the top 3rd of NCAA defenses.  Overall, UNC had a weak defense, but the pass rush (Kareem Martin in particular) was probably the strength of that defense.

 

We haven't really seen the full 4-2-5 scheme implemented yet.  The staff is still trying to fit square pegs into round holes right now.  I'm curious to see what things will look like as Fedora recruited players are plugged in.  If it doesn't get a lot better, a shift in defensive philosophy might be necessary.  There's simply been too much individual defensive talent on the field for the overall defense to be so damn poor.

Not a Duke Fan either! Giving y'all insight on how a lot of outsiders view the UNC football program. Of course, UNC homers honestly believe otherwise. It's ok, to defend your team, just don't rival reality with such belligerence

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      I had a huge response typed up for this that I lost entirely so I'm starting from scratch which is annoying but sh*t happens. I think Purdy is a high end game manager. I've made my thoughts known. I think he is talented and is at his best in the areas of timing rhythm and accuracy. When playing within the structure and scheme of that Shanahan offense and the talent around him he can be really good. Where his limitations become pronounced and more evident is when he has to go toe to toe with dynamic elite QB's. Which obviously isn't a problem just limited to him. But he's been given almost 200 million dollars guaranteed so that's an issue. I think the 49ers will struggle to get back to the mountain top with his new contract looming large and certainly they will face a very steep climb to somehow winning another championship. As far as Bryce within the pocket there have been numerous discussions here and even video circulated of him bouncing around the pocket like a pogo surveying the field or having both feet off the ground to deliver a pass. It exists even if you or someone else doesn't want it to. And I get why. But it's up to Bryce and Canales to figure out how to not only get his footwork where it needs to be and keep it there but to build a scheme around Bryce and what he does best and fit his limitations into a formidable offense. Look brother we can get into the weeds about this but I will respectfully say I do not believe you are being consistent here. You have gone out of your way as one of the key voices complaining about how striking the lack of quality talent and coaching was around Bryce Young in 2023. You've also been a key voice who has gone out of your way to sprinkle sunshine and rainbows on just about any discussion around every Panthers player and anything Panthers in general. Which is fine and can be a good thing. It's not for everyone but still more power to you. But it's jarring to see that and then you here now in what I can only describe as downplaying the talent around Bryce when it comes time to shield him from what you perceive to be unfair criticism which others such as myself would argue is not only fair for a first round pick but wholly realistic given the resources we surrendered to be able to draft him. The current FO have made an undisputed effort to build around Bryce given the aforementioned limitations created by the trade. There is never going to be a time where Bryce or any other Panthers QB is going to have elite or all pro level talent across the entire offense. But the FO has put talent around him. If you want to say that this is young and undeveloped talent in some areas that's fine but they are building around him. I'm going to be honest with you I cannot recall ever hearing this "big time throw" metric being mentioned in past conversations about Panthers QB's. I mean if Bryce or any other QB is making franchise QB or fringe elite QB  level throws we can recognize that with our own eyes. We have seen this from Bryce  which was a relief and very welcomed sight but now it's up to him to prove he can sustain that because in fairness we've seen some pretty impressive passes from past QB's who ultimately didn't pan out who were arguably more phsyically talented than Bryce. 3rd down conversion and turnover worthy plays are certainly something to hone in on. Bryce did improve in the redzone in that final stretch of games. However one key area to keep an eye on will be passing plays to the middle of the field. That's been an issue for us and Bryce both with turnovers and with bad moments from our receivers with bad drops.  We'll have to see what Dave Canales has planned for all of this within his scheme. I don't expect miracles but I do expect a competent formidable offense that is enjoyable to watch in 2025. That's the minimum expectation and I do not believe it is at all unreasonable.
