The Draft Will Not Fix Carolinas Biggest Issue

Recommended Posts

I wouldn’t say this is the biggest issue in Carolina, matter of fact I still think LT, LG, and FS are bigger than this. Then you also have a creeper for an owner, the franchise is for sale,  a new oc that very few have worked with on the roster, more expensive tickets, cheerleaders that are underpaid, and a pro bowl LB that will miss the first four games.

 

 

there are bigger issues than ball security..... also, with j stew gone I think they that gives 4 fumbles back?

I agree, but not on ball security.  We take care of the ball pretty well, and especially after cam fully recovered from the shoulder surgery, he was good.  Problem last year was generating turnovers.  That's why I was disappointed with Jackson and Gaulden, because neither are really "ball hawks".

Based on what you are pointing out, TAKEAWAYS was the significant factor, not giveaways.

 

Only 3 more giveaways in 2017 than 2015.  Those can easily be attributed to luck of a fumble or dropped interception.  It's still in the top 30% in the league.

The biggest difference was takeaways BY FAR.  18 less takeaways in 2017.

Correct. This draft will not fix Carolina's biggest weaknesses, which are, no ownership, Marty Hurney, underqualified people running the organization, not assistant GM and a front office that has been put together with sticks and bandaids, and Ron Rivera having a major say in personnel decisions. This team could have drafted saquon, Nelson, Chubb, roquan, and dj Moore this weekend and it would have been a moot point.

This franchise is in turmoil and has zero shot until the trash, starting with the pathetic excuse of a human being, Jerry Richardson, is removed from this organization. It kills me inside, but I think we are for some dark times coming up the next few seasons.

Sadly this is very possible. Cam has to play out of his mind to keep us relevant.

The main issue with Carolina is ball security.  This cannot be drafted.  This is fundamentals that need to be taught.  You know, coaching.

    • Of course, everyone has film. That is probably fresh in their mind though. Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division.  and if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
