Why Gettleman is a GM... and you aren't.

Ace isn't making valid points. He pretty much never does. He's just pulling his usual whine and bitch fest.

I have no problem debating someone capable of an intellectual discussion, but that's not his forte.

I go to clemson and I have a 3.5 GPA. Chill with that intellectual poo. We can have a philosophical debate and you'd get embarrassed so chill with that.

The problem is WR need some serious talent at WR, I go at Bersin only because we don't have the talent to put him on the bench. I'm down for drafting a WR high, but you can't keep going after the same positions. There is nothing wrong with signing a guy like Nicks to come in and be your #2. Then you can look elsewhere in the draft. It's not Bersin's fault. Same way they talked up King and Mcnutt last year. The Victor Cruz story is great and all, but at some point you need to take risks.

The problem for me you are bitching about 7 weeks too early.  If we havent done better than Bersin by the end of the draft then you have a point.I have full faith that we will sign another WR in free agency and pick one up in the draft  I just saw that Patterson is being shopped and Bowe is being released. I wonder who else might get the ax over the next 2 or 3 weeks who would be cheap and as good as Shorts, Nicks, and Crabtree.  I am fine with letting tings play out and see what happens.  There will be plenty of time to bitch between the draft and the start of training camp.

Look at me I'm smart because I agree with the 7-9 Panthers!

 

Let the Panthers go 7-8-1 in the exact same manner, only this time the Falcons go 9-7 and 7-8-1 be not quite good enough to make the post-season. 

 

How much you wanna bet those "optimistic" posters will be creating 95 threads a day blaming the players? Specifically one player.

Yea, I don't consider last year a good year. On the surface yes, but we were a pretty bad team.

Care to discuss eternalism?

On a football board? Not really.

Care to try and throw something else out there to try and make yourself look smart?

(cause bitching about the roster after two days of free agency when we're coming off our first ever back to back playoffs isn't helping raise your profile)

Difference is my profile on a football board means 0.

Well, that much I agree with.

But in this forum, I honestly don't care if you have a PhD in quantum physics. You either know the game or you don't.

And you don't.

Again, my football iq is not up for debate. To compare it to Dave's is just plain dumb. He's in competition with 31 other guys, not me. He has to be smarter than them. What you and I think or disagree on is really irrelevant. It took him half a century just to get a GM job. So obviously people weren't bowing down at his genius.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
