How close did the Panthers come to getting Stafford? Dang close.

Then why is it no self respecting NFL player wants to come play for him? Its pretty obvious at this point he's going to chip kelly out in a few years.

Points to the roster. 

Umm. We didn't get Stafford after the Rams offered a ton for him. Did I miss some folks out there that passed on us since Jan. 1?

Wait, wut?

Our coach got our players to play to the end this season.  You know, the actual NFL players on our roster.  Those guys CLEARLY fought their (*@#es off for him.  Our record does not reflect the effort our team produced.  It reflects the lack of talent we have.

Our team purged a LOT of dead wood last offseason.  ON PURPOSE.  Further, we'll do more house cleaning this year.  When you look at the roster right now, look at our projected position in 2022.  We are SUPER clean by then.

We're going in the right direction.  Matt Rhule may well flame out.  It happens.  However, he's going to leave us in a better position than we were in when he came here.  That much is obvious already.

Yeah, anyone with half a brain can literally see that. The only "Stafford Sucks" discussions come from fans who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Football guys don't talk about Matt Stafford as not being a very good QB. It is plainly obvious that he is.

I will say that these "good" or "dodged a bullet" threads probably aren't going to age well. I rarely like to be the "told you so guy" when it is bad for the Panthers but I won't be shy about reminding these Huddlers when Stafford is successful in LA. Especially if we whiff on a QB this offseason.

Make no mistake, it is not a celebration to miss out on an answer for the most important position in football. I am not going to celebrate "missing out" on Watson for whatever giant haul he commands.

I know the world is crazy right now, and people can just say things, whether grounded in truth or not. However, where is your evidence for this? Rhule has had one free agency period during a pandemic. The biggest acquisition (Anderson) has said he loves it in the Panthers organization. Your comment is just buffoonery.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By blueandblackattack · Posted

      I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.

      I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
