Panthers selected XFL S Kenny Robinson with the No. 152 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Robinson (6’2/198) was a two-year starting free safety at West Virginia before he was kicked out of school for academic fraud. Because he’s only three years removed from high school, Robinson was draft-eligible despite playing in the XFL last season (21 tackles in five games). He has quality coverage and ball skills -- he played some corner in college -- but needs to be more physical against the run to be a starter in the NFL. Robinson’s off-field character is in question, but he has the athleticism and ballhawking traits to compete for defensive snaps at safety on Sundays.

How the hell did he enter the draft after going pro on the XFL? Doesn’t make any sense. Why didn’t we just signed him. We did with Walker
 

but Rhule is clearly building a very tall secondary

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
