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.

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
