That was his problem in the draft. Everything was hit or miss. We couldn't build an overall roster because there was no roster filler available. Those good backup types and serviceable starter types that other teams typically find in the mid to late rounds. He always swung for the fences and when you do that you're going to strike out and hit a lot more pop flies than home runs.

That wouldn't be a huge deal if he could find those filler guys in free agency at a bargain like Belichick has his entire career, and many other teams have too. Even DG was pretty good at that, despite his drafting issues (until the Kalil deal, which I still suspect was JR's doing).

So we call the buffalo bills panthers north but now when Cam probably signs with Washington what is our clever nickname for the WFT gonna be?

Cam should go to Buffalo for a reasonable backup contract to sit there behind Allen. The way Allen plays, he'd be the perfect backup and could still see reasonable playing time...

  Conveniently hours after Hurney was fired. As was proven. Not before. And as I asked, what did it matter what MH wanted when the only decision maker was Rhule. What moves did Hurney make and Rhule didn’t approve of?  Have your boy come discuss that statement, if everyone is going to just swallow the hook on anything that makes the coaches still here look better. 

Yeah, I still believe Teddy was all Rhule and Brady's idea.

Neither Zack nor anyone else ever said he did it over Rhule's objections, only that Marty was the guy who was lobbying for him the hardest.

As to Zack, his track record for inside information speaks for itself. He doesn't need me to defend him.

Then why was this inside information only released after his firing? Why no mention when TB played well. Why not during his signing? Or the off-season. 
 

   Again, what did Marty’s feelings matter? Did Rhule make the final call or not? On everything. I mentioned numerous times since Rhule was hired that Hurney was there to be a scapegoat for any first year mistakes. I didn’t wait until it was convenient to a narrative.

Marty was still GM at the time. Heck, Rhule had only been here a little over a month or so.

And as mentioned, Zack doesn't post all that often. But when he does, you can count on it.

This is the type of 1980s thought process that I hope are barely visible in the Panthers' rearview mirror.

What is the best case that a #1 CB can do in a game? 

shut down 1 players, easily beat by just passing away from him. I’d rather have a top shelf LBer or DL that can affect multiple aspects of every play than a CB that really only comes in handy 2-4 times a year.

CB’s are luxuries if you don’t have the other pieces in place. If you have a solid defense in place already they’re amazing to have. See 2015 panthers defense. But otherwise they are expensive money pits that should be used elsewhere. 

also see Josh Norman and the redskins after signing him.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
