Mike Tanier's Panthers Draft Grade

Tanier has been a supporter of the Panthers/Cam, he was a believer last season when everyone else thought we were frauds. His draft "grade" is not pretty; this is just the conclusion:

 

Final Assessment: Remediation. Kudos to Panthers general manager David Gettleman for putting family first and attending his son's graduation on Day Three of the draft. Next time, he should put family really first by spending draft weekend at home making pancakes and watching the sunset, leaving someone in charge who will pick players the Panthers can actually use in 2014. This was an ugly draft, capping one of the worst offseasons I have ever seen a playoff team inflict upon itself. When the Panthers are 5-11 next year, people will straight-facedly blame it on Cam Newton's regression, ignoring the fact that Peyton Manning could not make this receiving corps serviceable. If Gettleman is one of those Cam-blamers, Panthers fans, be terrified.

IF we go 5-11 I will personally write all these draft graders a letter of commendation.

IF we push for a Playoff and Division Crown, I want all these fugging morons to write me a letter of apology.

I have no problem with people being stupid. Hellz, I have a whole fugging family of in-laws to deal with. It is when they try and shove that stupidity down your throat as fact.

The only fact right now? We don't even have a 53 man roster set. Until that happens NOT ONE PERSON KNOWS OUR FATE.

While I admit this offseason has been pretty disappointing and I am questioning the Nippleshorts philosophy and plan, I'm not sure things are as bad as Tanier makes them out to be. I'd like to see who this guy thought we should have taken with our picks.

He's right here - our situation is entirely self-inflicted. We ran all our receivers out of town, let our secondary walk, let our ace return guy walk, saw half our line retire, and opted to pay a defensive end $13 million (handicapping us all of free agency) rather than really fix these holes.

In the draft, we spent as much picks on DE and RB as we did WR and O-line. Byron Bell may be our left tackle, but at least we drafted another back! It's not like we already have four of them or anything. And we could have fixed a need spot, but why not draft another defensive end who will at best be a #3? It's not like we could have got a starter or anything.

In light of the first bit (self-inflicted wound), the draft simply wasn't good at all. Stop pretending it is - we are only marginally better than we were before it.

We did have 7 picks. I am pretty sure there are folks out there that could turn those 7 picks into a Super Bowl.

Now...all we have to do is find one of them. Sounds easy peasy. Craigs list? Angies list? Put an add in the personals. Got to be some way to find one of the guys.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By GoobyPls · Posted

      I agree with OP notion, QBs always get credited for game winning drives even if they do minimal. Just last night Caleb got credited for a GE drive when they basically ran the ball the whole drive and only had to go 36 yards.   And there are drives where Bryce could of had a game winning drive if not for a Legette drop vs Philly or a Chubba fumble vs Tampa

      You are actually, genuinely comparing Bryce to Jimmy fuging Pickles? Jimmy accounted for 3 touchdowns in his 10 starts in 2010. In Bryce’s 10 games post benching last year, he accounted for 20 touchdowns. Jimmy threw three touchdowns in 2010. Three. Bryce has thrown 10 touchdowns through 6 games. He is currently on track to throw for 3300 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Wtf are we even talking about anymore. I mean seriously

      Tepper? The guy that directs the coaches towards goals that he set for them… that guy. He is the one.    I don’t think he ever was going to be expelled from class, they had him come in for garbage time maybe the 2nd week he was benched.  I will say this. People said he wasn’t under pressure the last part of the year when he did better, but he was fighting for his career and that’s pressure. And he saved his career too. I don’t reject him for those kinds of things I reject him for the physical things. I have always brought it down to he has slim margin for error and has to be perfect. People with the tool set have a little fatter margin for error. Why make it harder on yourself? Got nothing to do with hating him.  I am no statistician but game that margin thing out a lot and see how that works.
