Our investments in the defense are paying dividends as they should be. Especially with a defensive mind in place like Rivera for as long as he has been here. This is what we are supposed to be seeing. We need to maintain that for the season now.

Since 2015 the Panthers have selected the same amount of offensive players in the first 4 rounds of the draft as defensive.

Are you taking free agents? Only big one is McCoy that I know. Reid and Poe maybe.

Only worth while offensive free agents that come to mind, Kalil, Oher, Paradis,Torrey Smith, CJ Anderson.

But during this time big contracts were given to those already drafted for the offense like Trai.

Or maybe you mean cap allocation and to that I can’t find any specific numbers but I’d imagine they’re pretty close.

Instead of arguing investment I’d argue competence. The Panther always seem to hit on players and give good contacts defensively (besides KK) on the defense. Offensively they’re a mess and incompetent when it comes to play makers, talent evaluation, free agency and the offensive line.

From what I can see from 2015 the Panthers have invested plenty in the offense but have failed at gaining any return from it.

At the end of the day we’re 4-2 and one game behind the Aints who scored 13 against the Jags..

could be a lot worse

Aints gotta start losing though. I thought for sure they would drop at least 3 games with Brees out. I guess I underestimated just how good of a coach Payton is.

    • 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
