Panthers "focused in" on Pitts?

I think fans are totally overlooking the chance we could go WR at some point in the draft. 

Fans tend to think in current year terms, but both Moore and Anderson are in the last year of their contracts.  Even if they extend Moore you have a huge hole across from him.  

Also people need to remember that WR1, WR2, and WR3 are all basically starters.  Good teams, the type you end up facing in the playoffs, can often take away your first option.

I don't mind a WR early, I think it is a high value position, but for various reason there seems to be some really good value in the 2nd and 3rd with receivers lately, and this years class is deep again.

You see, the problem with this Huddle thing is we read stuff that was influenced by other stuff and we, collectively, usually dwindle a complex process down to 2 or 3 options when there are dozens.  We focus on what we THINK we need and what we want to hear...If you agree with someone, they are right--if you disagree, they are stupid. 

So we lose focus and fail to think divergently--we are trained to solve problems convergently.  So instead of considering all of the possible scenarios and strategies, we try to use logic and a process of elimination based on subjective rationale to narrow the scope from an examination of the options to a narrowing of choices.

So there's that.

Holy poo that was a lot to absorb at once but I agree with you're saying for sure.

Going a True Bpa at 8 would not surprise me one bit.  And a Bama WR wouldn’t shock me either.

 

I know a few People that have Waddle as high as #3 overall and WR1 in this draft.

people forget about him because he missed most the season due to injury and Smith went off when he went about.

 

remember.  Even with Jerry Jeudy, Ruggs, and Smith.  Waddle still stood out and all honestly, whenever Bama needed a big clutch play, Waddle was the one who made it.

 

 

just to jog people’s memory

Week 1

a. 8 catches for 134 2TDs

b. 8 catches for 89yds 0TDs

 

week 2

a. 5 catches 141 1TD

b. 6 catches 63 1TD

 

week 3

a.  6 catches 120 0TD

b. 13 catches 164 1TD

 

week 4

a. 6 catches 161 1TD

b. 11 catches 167 2TDs


 

a. Is Waddle 

b. Is Smith 

through the 1st 4 games prior to Waddle’s injury.

Most good teams are draft receivers every year or 2. Can't sit back and ignore talent. 

Gotta build the te, and that doesn't happen by skipping over talent.

    • Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.
    • It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter. 
    • The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
