A thread just for Nicholas Rembrandt Hayden Esq.

While he has no place in any starting lineup in the league, I actually felt bad for him out there tonight. *Every* other starter out there only had to play about a quarter while old Foxy made him suffer all the way through to halftime. What was that all about? Was it just because he's not a "real" starter? I agree with that, he obviously sucks I mean I could probably knock him 10 yards off the ball myself, but it was almost like Fox was trying to humiliate him.

He was horrible but he wasn't just getting pushed around for nothing. He was giving a 100% IMO. He got some good penatration on many occasions but just couldn't sustain it with any lower body strength.

Good for him. I too could go out there and give it my all and get thrown around like I was a Gossip Girl for much less than what Nick Hayden is making, even if he's dirt-cheap by NFL standards.

Really? Does no one but me think that Lewis is horrible. I thought he played worse than Hayden considering that Lewis is a 9 year vet and a returning starter.

To be honest, I thought Hayden was so bad it was hard to concentrate on any other Panther defender out there. I'll take your word for it though, I've always thought of Lewis as a serviceable rotation tackle that really shouldn't be starting either.

lewis isn't the greatest, and he is certainly not an anchor. But he is our best DT on the roster and the most experienced. Everybody behind him needs as many reps as possible we need to pull at least one rotational guy from the mass of scrubs we have right now.

Don't get me wrong he played horrible. He really has no place being a DT in the NFL but thats not his fault that the Panthers thought he did. And like I said, he did show IMO a certain skill set. When he came off of the line his speed and upper body strength allowed him to get an intitial push up the middle. The problem was that his size and more importantly a lack of lower body strength would not allow him to continue that initial push or sustain it. At that point he was being pushed around like a rag doll. I saw this last year so I was expecting much worse from him tonight.

And by the way, the reason I mentioned that he at least was giving 100% was because IMO Lewis looked so luthargic it was just pissing me off. The one play were he actually broke through the line and then pulled up just to stare into Eli's eyes as he lobed a pass over his head was the worse. And after 9 season of playing DT shouldn't throwing your hands into the air to at least try to deflect the pass be instint? Lewis is as much of a joke as a starter then Hayden is.

    • Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO
    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
