Why, because he clashed with Rhule?

I think Brown was a great pick. We desperately needed a DT and this years class is terrible.

Hopefully, Marty’s overall record of roster building is what got him fired.

When Marty was fired, one of the big reasons cited was that he and  Rhule didn't mesh well.

I agree his record should have been a factor, but I can't help thinking if it were as big a deal as it should have been, he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did.

I am going to revisit what I said some time ago, before we (and I) started praying for a T.

There are starting tackles in early round 2.

We need a #1 CB so that Jackson is not locked up on the opposition's #1.  That makes both outside CBs better.  We can't find that #1 CB in rounds 2-7.

Did we sign a free agent who can play #1?  We signed a 32-year old nickel and a gamble.

CB Kelvin Joseph might be around with our second pick. He covered 1st round prospect Devonte Smith well.

The team has sent out so many mixed smoke signals that we really can't trust any of this stuff. If we did it would mean that they were either ready to trade everything for a shot at a QB, trade down to get 47 picks and a crate of footballs, or sh!t the bed by picking a WR at #8.

I sure hope Rhule and Co. have a better idea of what to do than it's looking like from the outside.

 

Drafting Chase at 8 would be FAR from shitting the bed.  Other teams would be shitting themselves at the thought of going up against our offense.

I think many of you are completely underrating the impact a shut down corner would have on this young defense. Drafting one of these guys gives so much more flexibility as to what Snow will be asking Chinn to do. Chinn becomes an all pro safety/lb with a shutdown corner opposite of him. 
 

there are guys I’d rather have but I absolutely won’t be upset if one of these guys is the pick.

Not crazy about a cb at 8. However, I'd be on board with a cb in the teens plus the haul from trading down, and snag an OT in the 2nd given there should be plenty of decent ones to choose from.

CB is a huge need. We have no current starting caliber corners signed past this year, Donte is guaranteed to miss games and Bouye is suspended the first 2 games with his best years behind him. You could argue it might be our biggest need. I'd still rather have Sewell if he's there but if he's gone and a team is willing to pay big to move up to 8, we should hear them out

Let's be honest... until he proves otherwise, I don't think any opposing DCs are shitting themselves going up against Sam Darnold.

FIelds or OT at 8 please and thanks unless our doors are absolutely blown off with a trade down option. 

The defense should be good, even with CB being a weakness.  Can't fix it all this year, and offense is quickly going to be the issue over the defense if big moves aren't made there, especially in the future.

Based on what? Our QB getting sacked and eventually carted off before he can toss it to Chase?

Right because if we don't take a Tackle at 8, there is no other possible way to land a good player at that position....

Very high on Newsome!

Me too! I have him as my #3 CB behind Horn and Surtain. I would be floored if Newsome doesn't go 1st round. If he doesn't, Panthers better trade up from 39 to 33 and take him with the 1st pick of round 2 and celebrate

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
