After shitting on Cam and now this.  fug Hurney.  And I'm tired of this franchise's insistence on being mediocre.  This year and offseason sucks.

What do you dislike about Derrick Brown?

Short hasn't even been good since his  contract extension. This was a definite need. 

Short hasn’t been good since we let our stud DT leave for Buffalo.  Defense fell off when Star left.

I don't understand how people are upset about the pick.  I get liking Simmons, or hoping for Okuda, I was in that camp, but this is a very solid pick. 

Easily the safest pick in the top 10 and when rebuilding that isn't a bad thing.  

Would be very interested to know what, if any, trade down offers we got.

Rhule made the pick as he's looking to "win now".

Most other coaches can find a space eater later in the draft, instead of 7th overall. Unfortunately he's going to learn the hard way you can't win the NFL without a QB.

Derrick Brown is the worst first round pick since Dave Gettleman's blunders. A space eater that has one pass rushing move, strength, and nothing else. A historically bad combine showing limited athleticism, and tape showing nothing more than strength, motor, but also poor balance and little agility.

I expect much of the rest of the draft to go similarly, reaches to fill holes, "safe" picks.

Brown is this years "next Aaron Donald", except he isn't athletic. These guys are busting at an insanely high rate lately. If you don't believe me go through the last 10 years and look at first round DTS, their bust rate, and even on hits how long they're productive in the league.

 

You probably hated the Star pick too? Which was probably the biggest steal in Panthers history. 

Neither are flashy.  But that is how you win football games.

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
