Panthers Met With FSU CB Ronald Darby

FSU CB Ronald Darby visited the Panthers on March 10, according to Matt Miller.

Darbys produced an outstanding Combine, but some likely expected it due to his track background. There have been critics of Darby's tape, saying he freelances or loses his technique and deploys that athleticism to recover. We doubt Darby makes it out of the second round, and a first round selection is definitely possible.

He was also involved in the Winston mess at FSU. Don't see his name being called by the Panthers.

Uh? This makes no sense. Darby was a WITNESS to a alleged crime that charges were never brought fourth by the police department, district attorney office, and a COC hearing oversaw by former Florida state supreme court judge Major Harding. The panthers are obviously serious about him considering they brought him in for a visit.

From what I've seen he looks like he'd fit in well with what we do. I'm a little torn between this guy and PJ Williams. I think Darby has more talent but PJ has more upside in zone. Assuming we don't take Darby, I'd take a hard look at drafting PJ (especially if he makes it to the end of the 3rd) putting him on the outside and pushing Bene back to nickle.

A nice thing is that he can so into the slot or on the outside.  Bene is the same so it would be nice to have that for different receiving groups we have to face week-to-week.

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