Remember we had Gross at LT and Cam at QB.

and Beason had an Achilles injury in 2011 that knocked him out for the year.  Those are career killers.  It wasn't on  par w/ drafting Stewart.

and I think you mean some people (myself included, I can admit when I’m wrong) didn’t like spending a top ten pick on a depreciated position that was already filled. Nobody freaked out, and Kuechlys don’t appear every few years.  And even if he does end up at Kuechly’s level, MLB ain’t gonna help us with no QB

That's a tainted 4.39

I'm sure he is still running a 4.4 or 4.5, but it has been said that based off these times this year that this is the "fastest draft class" there has ever been..... wonder why

This is a legit point.

well, if we can't solve the QB puzzle this year.....solving the defensive front 7 puzzle does seem like a worthy investment.  Cam Newton wouldn't of had his success those season without those dominant fronts.

Completely different situations. That was the Achilles injury that taught me that lesson. I was one of the goobers that thought he could come back.

Replace Kuechly with an elite LT for Cam’s career and I’d argue we’d have been more successful.  I love Kuechly....buuuut...

Or if you had to take one of them off the team, Cam or Luke, taking Luke off the team would have had faaaaaaaar less impact than taking off Cam. 

Maybe, maybe not.  Not having Cam might have forced our whiz-bang brain trust to build something on offense and not just slough off lack of receivers and generally patchwork OLs with "but we have Cam."

Of course, if they had managed to build depth into the offense, it probably would have been by accident.

I mean...I wouldnt be mad whatsoever.

 

 

I would be mad at 8 only because my philosophy is no non pass rushing lb is worth the 8th pick in the draft in today's NFL. Nothing against the very impressive Mr. Parsons. Past the top half of first round is a different conversation, but MLB just cannot impact the game enough to merit a top 10 pick anymore IMO. It is arguably the least important position on the defensive side of the ball these days.

I’m not saying draft Parsons but none of us are fortune tellers. 
 

And it doesn’t matter who we had at any position...in hindsight, you would still take Kuechly. 
 

Ps- where would we be without the grammar police. Thank you for your service, sir.

Hindsight being 20/20 and all that, hell no you don't draft Luke at #9. You draft Fletcher Cox then take Bobby Wagner in the 2nd.

      fug the HATERS

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      fug the HATERS

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
