This little nugget made my morning...

Ron Rivera - " We're going to do everything we can to win."

Joe Person - "Dave, will you draft a corner this weekend?"

Dave - "Will we draft a cah'nah this weekend?"

Joe - "What do you anticipate doing?"

Dave with a big grin - "Yeah, I think so..."

Joe - "More than one?"

This is a draft I went from feeling the weirdest about to really liking it in a short amount of time haha

Adding some exciting guys as UDFAs helped even things out a bit and increase the excitement.  It's not that I didn't trust DG re: the guys we drafted, but I'm very pleased that we brought in what looks to be some additional solid competition at RB, TE / FB, S and WR.

Now for Oline... maybe DG knows something about Foucault or Yankey (or one of the other PS/Futures guys) that we don't. I'd be thrilled if one of them is ready to play.  But right now the absence of added competition & depth at Oline is striking.

Oh.... and Punter too.  Need another guy to compete.

After seeing so many guys on the OL banged up last year, I can't imagine we're done there. I'd say we're waiting for cuts and bringing in a decent guy or two for depth.

 

And yeah, the Punter situation is curious. Maybe we don't bring anyone in...but that worries me that Swayze or whoever sucks it up early on, and we have to grab a more established guy off the street during the season.

If the guy can punt it 40 yards consistently he will be better than Nortman. Thats not a high bar to set.

    • It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games. 
    • Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.  
    • Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
