Andy Lee was worth it

Our last fourth-round pick that became a consistent starter was Frank Garcia... in 1995.

Considering all the 1st round (even top ten) picks you can list as 'busts', all draft picks can be considered a crap shoot. Trading a 'cross your fingers and hope 4th rounder' for a 3 time All Pro punter could be a pretty good move.

Yes, but don't be a DG apologist! He did make a mistake assuming that Scifres/Waters would do and honestly, we got lucky that the Browns traded for him. If he was on any other team other than fire sale, we likely couldn't have gotten him.

Maybe you shouldn't assume that he assumed. Options change with time, and there are always 'ifs'. If we hadn't sucked in 2010 we wouldn't have Cam.

He has 1 punt inside the 10 and 4 punts inside the 20.

The Panthers had 5 punts inside the 10 and 22 punts inside the 20 last year. If he can match that production by week 10, then he is worth the 4th round pick. If it takes him til week 15 or later to hit those marks, then he was not worth it.

Why are people acting like the Panthers never pinned a team inside the 10 with a punt last year?

Depends on how much we punt

    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
