I trust the Panthers, I don’t question much but still not understanding why we passed on Jaelen Strong, I mean didn’t he have great production? Wasn’t he the more polished receiver? Isn’t he 6’4 also and ran a 4.4? I have made myself love the Devin Funchess pick, I them wanted to draft a receiver badly. Just wondering why we passed a on a proven player with potential, for a player who hasn’t really produced but has potential. Im just thinking do we think that Funchess is the better player overall, or didwe just not like Strong. Who knows, its the off season , just trying to saty engaged until things start flowing again.

Several reasons came out.

 

Mainly, his 4.4 time did not match his game film.  Lack of separation was a worry.

 

The wrist issue and then him blowing off the medical recheck which most teams required, did not sit well with a lot of GM's

I remember specifically the FO saying how Funchess' football smarts blew them away. All things being equal, that may be your reasoning right there. Additionally, DG talked about getting guys who absolutely hate to lose...maybe they didn't see the same passion from other guys as they did Funchess.

they had a first round grade on funchess and a 2nd round grade on strong.

 

that's why we (and a lot of other teams) passed on strong. the teams actually doing the drafting didn't have him hyped like the draftniks did.

word has been that funchess wouldn't have made it to our 2nd round pick. several teams were really interested in him.

 

that just wasn't the case with strong. who exactly were the ones saying that he was polished and more proven? probably the same ones saying that funchess had a low football IQ based on zero conversations with the kid.

 

these draftnik hacks that people keep on quoting and listening to leading up to the draft are barely more knowledgeable than many fans and they all make a lot of pretty illinformed assumptions about what teams are looking for (if they even bother to research them at all) and base their rankings off of essentially a couple highlight videos and usually just parrot each other.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
