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!

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
