And Bill Voth Pulls The Curtains...

Thought McCaffrey was honest to goodness pure inside knowledge? Well, think again:

Sure, doesn't mean the Panthers aren't considering it. But at this point, @Jeremy Igo does have more information than Voth at this point. One thing to note is Voth says he only gets in this sort of stuff 2 weeks prior to the draft, so it was very unlikely to have solid insider knowledge at this point.

Does not mean to discredit Voth at all. Just means he is just merely speculating before he seeks out the insider knowledge.

At this point, just trust Igo for insider knowledge until a few days pass and Voth gets actual info.

Think it's pretty much set in stone at this point...lines up with what Jeremy and anyone else has said, so not exactly breaking news...

 

Tier 1 - Solomon T., Leonard F., Jamal A.

Tier 2 (Likely) - Howard or McCaffrey 

Makes sense. Was perplexed at how Voth and Igo had conflicting data, but this clears the muddy waters.

People took off with his earlier tweet, but I don't think he ever said or hinted that it was based on anything other than his own speculation, did he? 

I could see how it could've been speculation. But generally, one does not say with the confidence level of "gun to the head" unless they actually have sources or solid knowledge of the situation, hence why everyone took this to the park.

Gun to the head isn't confidence. Gun to the head is being forced to make a hard decision under pressure.

I still think "gun to the head" was not an indication of confidence, but merely the difficulty of picking.  i.e. saying something like:

"If you're gonna shoot me unless I give you a name, ok, I'll guess McCaffrey (but I really have no clue, I'm just giving a name now (too early) because you're forcing me.)"

I hate "Draft Season" ! Everyone all the sudden has sources, knows somebody,  blah blah. Nobody knows! And no GM/Coach is gonna tell some peon what the draft board looks like. That dickhead with the goofy hair who is a "draft genius" is never right! First few picks any one of  us can pick. Enough of the "inside" info BS

I would agree with that.

Igo pretty much called the Shaq and Butler picks in the past two drafts even though neither guy represented an immediate pressing need.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
