I don't see why he should. I highly doubt he's that high on our board.

Well, I see it as he truly is the best player available  on offense. The OT after Conklin are trash. I'd rather sit and wait for Haeg, Beavers, or Shell. For me, realistically for us meaning guys outside of the top 15 projected the best players for the panthers are Lawson, Dodd, Rankins, Butler, Treadwell, VH3, and then....Derrick Henry.

Ogbah or Dodd. Noah Spence should be an option too.

 

Not sure why William Jackson III is getting votes. He's an awful fit for our system. We'd take Fuller before him.

A zone defense isn't exactly particle physics. This isnt like people talking up an obvious 34 player like Butler.

Um, lots of man coverage CBs struggle when they have to learn/play zone. There is different techniques and keys involved.

Looking at his tape(video cutups), he looks much better as a press man CB than off zone coverage.

Can he learn/develop? Of course but I'm pretty sure the Panthers would rather to use a 1st rounder on a CB who is more comfortable which zone concepts already.

Gettleman has spoken openly a number of times about not critiquing players over what they were never asked to do. If this was a case where a player had a skill set that simply didn't fit what we do it would be one thing, but it isn't. You don't draft players over what you project they will be this year.  That Observer article gives the impression Ogbah may be the pick so I don't think it really matters either way.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
