I still think that we would've drafted Bowers if he didn't get medically flagged. We'd probably be something like what the Jaguars are today.

 

I really doubt that.

 

Hurney was desperately trying to save his job and bring new life to the team, he honestly had no choice but to take a chance on Newton.

Are any of the other guys still in the NFL?

We didn't have a 1st R pick in 2010. Lafell and Greg Hardy were in the 2010 class. So was Jimmy Clausen, CB R.J. Stanford and CB Robert McClain, all of whom are still in the NFL. The 2010 busts in the 1st 5 rounds were #124 pick Eric Norwood and #89 pick Armanti Edwards. 6th R pick WR David Gettis looked good as a rookie and then sucked after that

We didn't have a 2nd R pick in 2011. Cam was 1st R. Our 3rd R picks are both still in the NFL: DT Terrell McClain and DT Sione Fua. The 2011 busts in the 1st 5 rounds were 4th R pick CB Brandon Hogan and 5th R WR Kealoha Pilares

So this was another misguiding, hyperbole thread from the overlord. The only WTF picks on there are Fua and McClain.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
