Corvey Irvin and Sherrod Martin Better Prove Their Worth, and Quick...

Seeing things like that makes me lose faith in the Panthers fan base sometimes. If you genuinely think we are a poor drafting team, then you need your head examined. There is a reason we have very few high priced free agents joining our team, we generally do not need them. Our entire core is built from drafted players from all eareas of the draft. We also managed to get some bargains this last draft.

Smith just simply does not fit what we wanted. He can't tackle. At all. Get over it.

:lol:

Sean Smith was great in coverage, which is what a CB's main job is. cover receivers. He could also tackle. Sherrod Martin couldn't cover a paraplegic.

So my post makes you lose faith in the panthers fanbase? Lulz. Forgive me for expecting the best out of my team and calling them out when they are doing a shitty job at something.

Fox likes versatility.

also, it's not really their fault about what happened with irvin. this wasn't really a draft to find starters, but it was a great draft to find backups you can work with.

just sorta sucks that the panthers biggest need came up in a year with a shallow talent pool.

excellent point and well said.

We drafted Corey because we needed a pass rushing DT. No one thought Kemo was going to get hurt. Pass rush was the weak link.

Yeah but there were guys like Ricky Jean-Francois (who didn't go until VERY late in the draft)... Who IMO, equates to or is better than Corvey Irvin. We'll see what happens, but 99% of this boards reaction to the Irvin pick was "WTF?"

Again I ask how many bad choices has Fox and them made when it comes too Secondary? If they wanted Sherrod their is a reason. Their track record is good when it comes too secondary picks.

How do you know this after 3 preseason games?

Where do you scout at or coach at?

BTW, I haven't wrote either of them off. Although I'm close on Irvin. Like I said, our late picks make up for any possible poor picks we may have made... But, from what has been reported and seen in games, Irvin isn't fairing too well right now and Martin is not bad, but not great either. That may change with moving back to safety though.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
