BR Post Draft Power Rankings


Recommended Posts

While I don't think we're headed to another 12 win season by any means, this guy knows very little about our team needs. Unfortunately many sports writers know next to nothing about small market teams until they read a brief team summary before they write an article. He knew who we drafted, read that we went 12-4 last season, and then pulled out of nowhere that we reached throughout the draft. I actually expected him to do just that. He doesn't have to get the facts correct to keep his job. We all know he's wrong, and he doesn't give a poo.

Don't mean to rain on you, but literally anyone can write a BR article.  All you need to do is sign up (it's free).  99% of the articles on there are not written by professional writers.  In fact most of it is written by people with less knowledge than most of us here.

 

22 is hilariously bad though.  I understand not predicting us to go 12-4 again but there is no reason to believe we can't at LEAST crack .500.  We have too talented a roster.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but not just anyone can write a B/R article. You have to apply to write and less than 15% of applicants are accepted. 

 

The only thing that's as annoying as crappy B/R writers are the ignorant B/R haters. Next time get your facts straight before you post or you're just as bad as the writer of that article.

Why do you fuging kids goto Bleacher Report? If you stop going they'll go away and we'll all be better off.

From what Kraken told me on Twitter he's going to play DE/QB which will lead to some kick ass modified wildcat plays.

Sadly, B/R is filled with Skip Baylesses that just have crap opinions that piss people off and get attention. The best writers on B/R get lost in the fold because their articles don't produce as many comments and attention as the crappy writers. 

 

That's why I advise people to follow any good writers on B/R and exclusively read their material. Otherwise, you're going to be fed a load of poo every time you click on some hyped up, front-page article.

This was in the author's about section: "I'm a husband, father of three and full time Bleacher Report writer."

We're going to get to see how good Cam really is this year.

We have a great defense, everyone know's that.

But I still maintain that we have one of those Patriot offenses that if it wasn't commanded by Brady it would be sh*t.

I want to see Cam take his game to elite status.

 

Did you see what Kassel did in Brady's absence? Or what Flynn did in Rodger's absence? 

 

OC's and system play a very large role in offense numbers and qb ratings.

i was getting ready to write that bleacher report has gotten better in the last couple years since teaming up with i foget who at the moment and that they've actually started hiring some decent wrriters, but then i actually read the OP and decided it this wasn't the best moment to say that because it was avtually the same type of poo article by the same type of joke wannabe writer that made BR the poo site it got the reputation for being.

 

knocking our draft because we reached for need? did they even look to see what we did? i've been a bit critical of this draft (which i've just decided to accept and move on) but reaching for need is definitely not one of thise criticisms. benjamin and turner were drafted exactly where they should have been and ealy was drafted about a round later than he should have been. the last four picks....reaching? nobody knows where thise guys should have been picked, because its all a much bigger crapshoot than the first couple rounds are. we got safety and CB help, but i don't see either guy as having been reaches and they didn't exactly fill out our roster as much as added to the competition. and the stanford RB probably would have been drafted.  good bit earlier in another era where RBs weren't so devalue.

 

the only place where we need the roster filled out and where we probably would have benefitted from "reaching" is OT and we absolutely did not do that. 

 

so yeah.....pretty much the same BR article we grew to hate/laugh at.

I still remember Billick having the Panthers at 28th in his preseason power rankings last year and Peter King predicting a 6-10 record (which would have been good for the worst record in the NFC).

    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
    • This is pretty accurate our offense needs more juice. I love Cooker but he’s not enough XL ummm we’ll see this year hopefully the third year WR thing hits him and he plays better but still not enough. Honestly we need look at the Eagles they just adds Wicks and Hollywood Brown to that core. That shows the level of talent needed to compete at a championship level this coming season. And this below is the real problem KC doesn’t seem to add that much to our offense. We Makai Lemon or defense at 19
