Carolina set themselves up pretty good on both sides of the ball in 2011 picking Cam Newton and then Luke in 2012.  That leadership is needed on both sides not just the offense.  Personally, Shaq will never be the answer to command the defense.  Luke was great at adjusting coverages.  Carolina has a very good opportunity to find a new captain in this years draft in Micah Parsons and imo would be the BPA at #8.

What is with this fanbases obsession with devalued positions like linebacker and running back?

Over the years, those positions have been "successful" picks for us. All those 1st rounders have yielded a lot of very good players for us... at low value positions. What people can't understand is that there's an opportunity cost there. Every premium pick spent on a low value position could've been spent at a higher value position. I'd take a good LT over a great RB. A good DE over a great off the ball LB.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
