Every year their draft analysis is just them whining that they were wrong and we did not pick OL.

"First round pick sucks because it did not address a need.  Next two picks suck because they did not address the need we said you would address."

It is almost as if Dave is doing it just to both them.

4) CAROLINA PANTHERS: It takes three years to fully evaluate a draft class, but this Panthers haul certainly missed the mark when it came to filling the team's biggest needs.

 GRADE: C-

CAROLINA PANTHERS: Since winning the division last season with a patchwork roster, the Panthershave lost two franchise players (WR Steve Smith and OT Jordan Gross) and a host of key contributors. Although Gettleman has plugged a few holes in free agency, the team needed to find a few blue-chippers at marquee positions to remain among the NFC's elite.

CAROLINA PANTHERS: Ron Rivera needs to rectify the Panthers' leaky defense to help the team make a run at the postseason. The defensive-minded head coach took steps to remedy the problem by adding two defensive tackles in the early rounds.

Most of the guys in the media are just like most Panther fans.  After the first 50 players, they have no clue about anyone.  Everyone picked from here on out, except for someone like Connor Cook (who they HAVE heard of) will be an iffy pick.

Whoever gets Cook will get an A

Daniel Jeremiah and Mayock both do in depth scouting and tapes and interviews with scouts.  They get out of the first round, so to speak, and both had high marks for Bradberry.

Who cares what your neighbor or any of these quick trigger talking heads have to say about something they have never studied?

It's only somebody's opinion, but it's more than enough to put some on suicide watch. 

Prospect rankings and draft round projections are also only opinions, usually from obscure sports writers who probably only saw 1 or 2 plays of game tape if any. Some consider them to be a whole lot more than that and respond in ridiculous ways when our GM's picks don't align exactly with them.

It always makes me laugh when these people preach "oh you could've waited a few more rounds to draft a DT. There is DEPTH at this position in this draft!" So what, we can wait to get a mediocre prospect in the 5th round that would've went in the 3rd any other year? Meanwhile if there's a monster in the first round that falls into our lap let's just pass on that opportunity because again, we can wait later and pick up a lesser prospect.

Proof once again that Gman knows quite a bit more than whoever the hell is giving out these grades.

You nailed it. We hear this "WTF are they doing?" crap every year from so called experts and also the reactionary fans. Both groups are always more wrong than right each year.

    • They've gone way overboard with the masking of plays by only filming the ball in air.  Nobody is analyzing camp highlights. 
    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
