I came across this video. It was one of the best things I've ever seen. I laughed. Then I remember we still have Gano. Then I cried.

Then I remembered the Bucs traded up in the second round to draft this guy. I cried out laughing.

Experience these emotions with me as you watch this glorious piece above to the tune of Adam Sandler's greatest hit, "the lonesome kicker."

Amazing how bad he was compared to his college days. I really wonder if he let the pressure of being drafted in the 2nd round get to his head or something. I feel like it had to of played into the equation somehow and since he never could shake that pressure off he just kept missing. I CLEARLY don't want him here, things are bad enough with Gano, but I'd be interested to see him on another team to see if he could do any better without the 2nd round thing possibly weighing him down.

I can't finish that. I really don't find it funny. It's painful actually. 

It's one thing to make fun of an organization, or even a player that is an a-hole, but I don't see the humor in needlessly clowning a young stand-up player who purportedly had a lot of promise.

It was a bad move for the Bucs, no doubt, and they lost an opportunity to shore up another position or two because of it, but they're needle is still pointing up. 

By the way, our kicking situation leaves a lot to be desired. I'd probably rather have Nick Folk.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.

      Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.

      a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
