Our best offensive and defensive players can't even play at McDonald's on the playground, cause they are too short to even get on the slide, but yet they are suppose to be VIP's and take us to a superbowl title? Where at Chuck E. Cheese's playing skee ball? Draft someone bigger than Muggsy Bogues please!

What are you talking about?

Size only matters on the oline and dline, QB and WR. But as smitty has proven skill > size.

Our Oline is decent, our Dline is pretty freakin huge and we know we can't draft QB and WR.

So i have to believe you are either A, an idiot or B, talking about the bobcats.

For B i don't watch bobcat basketball...in fact i don't watch pro basketball anymore ever since the hornets moved. Guess i am a bit of a fair weather fan, as i could get behind the Bobcats if they make the playoffs the same way with the canes. But one thing i can say about the Hurricanes is when i play nhl 10 i play with the canes, when i play nba 2k10 i play with the lakers...

Are you stupid? Any team would rather have shorter lineman who can block, have push, and who are strong as hell. A bigger wide receiver has a better chance against Db's. A bigger mike has a better vision and can see what the defense is doing easier. Why do you think it took Smitty awhile to be a receiver? He would not have ever been given the chance to be a starting wideout on 75% of the teams!

Where to start with this one. This is quite probably the most idiotic thread I've seen in a while.

First, you start by pointing out how short our best offensive players are, then you advocate going after taller players. If some of our best players (i.e. Smith, Williams, and Munnerlyn) are on the shorter side, why in the world would you use that as the basis for drafting taller players?

Jarrett's pretty tall -- how's he done his first three years in the league?

And it didn't take Smith any longer to be a receiver than many others in the league. Bottom line, Smith was a threat the very first time he touched the football in the NFL.

I'm really dumbfounded right now.

this really is pretty lame, but ill try to comment to it if i can. drafting simply by siz or speed does not always work out like you think it would. it seems good in your head but you need players. every year draft boards are set and players are evaluated and ranked. in most case the 1st rounders are of the are perfect size and speed specimens for the position being drafted. they move some people up for football smarts and awareness and rank these players. to simply ignore the size of a player would be stupid , but it would also be stupid to simply say im going to draft the tallest guy available or the fastest. If you want to see how this fails look at the raiders, they year after year draft speed, and year after year have a top 10 pick. that is not where we want to be.

Drafting for size and speed always works, just ask Al Davis. How is his rookie WR working out?

Smith, Williams, Munnerlyn?

one of these things is not like the other...

They are all similar in that they are shorter players, which is sort of the basis of this thread. ;)

The only reason I mentioned Munnerlyn in the same breath as Williams and Smith is because I assumed that's who the OP was talking about on the defensive side of the ball. Was he talking about Beason? I really don't think of him as short, and if he is it surely isn't affecting his play.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
