Yes, stating facts is hyperbole.

You must be an English major!

Engineer major, I hated English.

Facts can easily be misleading, as you have demonstrated. It's hyperbole. Carolina drafted better than New England in 2010 & 2011. The Patriots had 7 picks in the 1st & 2nd Rd between those years, Carolina only had 2.

2010-

New England had 12 draft picks, including 4 of the first 62 overall picks. McCourtey (1st) and Gronkowski (2nd) are the only two remaining of the 12.

Carolina had 10 draft picks, including no 1st Rd pick and only 1 pick in the top 75 overall picks. Hardy (6th) is the only remaining of the 10.

2011-

New England had 9 picks, 1-7 Rd plus an extra 2nd and 3rd. Solder (1st), Vereen (2nd), & Cannon (5th) are the only remaining of the 9.

Carolina had 8 draft picks, including no 2nd Rder (which went to New England). Newton (1st) is the only remaining of the 8.

No one from 2009 either, and only Stewart from 2008. Just for "fun"...

2005: Thomas Davis - Longest tenured Panther with the Smith (2001) and Gross (2003) departures among others.

2006: DeAngelo Williams

2007: Ryan Kalil, Charles Johnson

2008: Jonathan Stewart

2009: Mother of God

2010: Greg Hardy*

2011: Cam Newton

Depending on the Hardy situation, at best that's 7 guys out of 7 drafts. At least his final draft class has been better thus far...but it's still early.

That right there, boys and girls, is not how you build a consistent winner.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
