Two things in our favor, draft-wise


PanthersATL

Recommended Posts

a) Rhule knows how to evaluate college players and figure out how to make them succeed on the field. Sure, it might take one season to get them rolling with The Process, but Rhule has proven he can take a ragtag gang of misfits and turn them into contenders in a short timeframe.

b) Luke is also scouting players. And Luke knows how to watch tape.

Who wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall listening to the Rhule + Luke analysis?

As much as I appreciate your optimism - does Rhule actually have any track record of that at the NFL level? His success came from getting players at 2nd or 3rd tier CFB programs to buy into a system. And while he was very successful at that an I hope he replicates that here.....this is a whole new animal to him 
 

and we all love Luke - but being a generational player doesn’t necessarily translate to scouting

If you believe that Rhule was in charge of the last draft, which most of us believe, he has started off well.

Luke is probably one of the best to ever play and his ability to watch tape and adjust his game to what he watches.  That said, watching potential players on tape.  He would be able to determine whether it was talent or scheme that made the player good.    

I think his input would be invaluable.  Maybe not making  the final decision but giving a players point of view would definitely help.

Based on this year's success, I'm optimistic about our draft future. The Seahawks had a string of tremendous drafts following hiring Pete Carroll that kick-started their success. These college coaches know college talent. They likely recruited a lot of these guys.

Pete had an extra advantage because he was basically an NFL coach who was spending time at the college level.  He had a good idea of what traits translated to the NFL, and who had them.  He definitely had an advantage in scouting players, having been in some of their living rooms meeting their family and watching them grow.  His buddy Pat Kirwan told the story of getting a phone call from Pete Carrol when Pete was still at USC.  He told Pat "keep an eye on the Earl Thomas kid I just lost to Texas.  I think he's the next Troy Polamalu!"  Years later everyone remembers when he had a chance to take his own USC safety but took Earl instead.

Wow, if we are still using tape that's something Tepper is going to have to upgrade to some kind of digital format. LOL

I don’t believe for a second that Rhule was in charge of the last draft. That’s why Hurney was kept around 

I don’t see a world where a billionaire hires a coach with zero NFL experience and just let’s him run everything himself

Surely he had impact - but not his show alone (yet)

Do you believe it now? Marty sure wouldn’t have been fired if he was in charge of a great draft.

Me too. It’s also why I wanted Marty gone. Can I get a hallelujah? Rhule and co are soon not going to have that knowledge advantage that helped so much especially since many visits and pro days got canceled. Having a competent GM/scouts installed that can weigh in and take over a bit as Rhule and co will have way less extra knowledge starting in the 2022/2023 drafts.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
