DGB was never in play for the Panthers

The Carolina Panthers never had DGB as a targeted player on their board. Funchess on the other hand was rated a first rounder and highly coveted. So all of the DGB fans can put your mind at ease, he was never coming to the Panthers to begin with. Also, obviously all of the first round rated players the Panthers had are now off the board. (Preston Smith cam close to being a Panther). Predicting rounds 4-7 are a crap shoot.

We all love DGB. However he was never in play thanks to Greg Hardy.

If Gman wanted him, he would have traded higher to get him.

Shaq and Funchise had 1st round grades early on. Many had Shaq in the top10. We got two very good players. Fans can quit crying about it.

 

Thanks to Ray Rice you mean.  After that, even if you're innocent you're guilty in the NFL.  An accusation is enough.  (Not that I necessarily think DGB was innocent, I didn't follow or research his incident enough to have an opinion.)

Too bad about Preston Smith - I really liked him. He would have fit us really well. Plus it would have been fun to see everyone melt down if our first two picks were defense.

But I can definitely believe that the Panthers had D. Smith, P. Smith, L. Collins, and Funchess in a class with late round 1 grades.

You've been spot on with the info this draft season. Thanks.

Voth said as much yesterday. I mean, all of the sensible people (i.e., not the people who think we're taking La'El Collins today) knew that he was never really going to have a chance here, nor was Marcus Peters, etc.

I thought people knew this already. . You don't let a top 10 elite pass rusher walk. . Then draft a rookie with the same issues. . It's not a good look in the media and JR loves how the media see him and his team..

Thanks to his inside trading!

 

Also i have been raving about Preston Smith and Josh Robinson long before anybody did!

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
