Best football decision of all time:

getting a cornerstone to solidfy the line for years is worth it. I wanted Otah on draft day and I've loved to see him be a beast on the field. Best part is, he's still developing. I am glad that we're using him at RT for his rookie year though. I'd almost never want to see a rookie at the LT spot.

A couple more monumental carolina decisions (although not as risky as the decision at hand):

1. Drafting Peppers. Not only his beastly defensive end play but what he means to this franchise. He is the first "franchise player." Grew up in NC and played college at UNC, he really helped build up the carolina panthers fanbase. IMO, he is exactly the type of player I want to represent my franchise. His contributions go far beyond making plays on the field.

2. Drafting Steve Smith. Third round pick, so not too much of a risk if he didn't work out. But I'll go ahead and say he is the best third-round pick in Panthers franchise history, and that will never change.

When people think "Carolina Panthers", they think "Julius Peppers and Steve Smith." They are responsible for giving the Panthers an identity and establishing what this franchise is all about. I can only hope that they both make it to Canton and that we never see another 89 and 90 in charlotte again.

(I know this is probably obvious to everyone here, but I still had to say it.)

People often say that a draft pick cannot be accurately assessed for at least three seasons, and realistically four. This argument is often used to defend a questionable pick, such as Thomas Davis.

However, I think the same reasoning should apply to picks that look like gold right off the bat. Stewart and/or Otah could regress terribly next season. They could choke in the playoffs. They could end up missing a lot of time to injury (Dan Morgan anyone?)

I would agree that they have been outstanding so far, but we should let them prove it over time before we go calling their aquisition the "best football decision of all time", even if you just meant for the Panthers.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
