Drafting Orlando Brown Jr. would've been a good Draft pick right about now.

How is it hindsight when he was wanting Orlando Brown before the draft?

  Sure wouldn’t have taken him over DJ Moore or Jackson. That’s what would have had to happen. Would you? And we are in a much different situation, OT-wise, than we were during the draft. Hence....hindsight.

Why are you asking me? I’m not the one who cared for Orlando Brown but JakeDel wanted him so maybe he would’ve taken him the 2nd. Wouldn’t have been a bad move either.

There is always room on this roster for a tackle that can play

Could've traded up for him, so no, it's not hindsight. And let's also not go ahead and crown Jackson the end all be all, please. We did that with Bradberry and he's been borderline poo since.

Yeah man, and these clowns are already crowning Jackson. The Huddle never seems to amaze me at this point.

You asked? I answered. Our Tackle situation is different. That’s why we are using 2nd and 3rd stringers. Like I said....hindsight.

Says the person “crowning” his player after a quarter of a preseason game with a told you so thread. Ironic.

We could’ve always used a replacement for Kalil and Williams is gone after this year. So the pick would’ve been easily justifiable at the time and even more so now.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
