You got to be able to a score with those teams too though.  

We had Bradberry.  And he held it down vs those guys as good as anyone could.   

I think the focus should be on the QB and the lines.  Not the DBs and WRs. 

True but it won’t matter much if you can’t stop anyone. And though Rhule is known as an offensive guy, he values good defensive play. And our defense requires the physical Mano y Mano type to be successful.

It's a passing league so that means it's also a stop the pass league. If he is a shut down corner than it was a good pick. We won't know that for at least a week but more realistically until mid season. I like the pick.

I think the argument is that when given the opportunity...you work on the first part first.  The it’s a passing league part.  

If Fields works out vs if Horn works out....Fields is the better and more important/impactful  puzzle piece.

I mean, the goal is to build a winning team.   QB is most important piece to that goal.  

Rhule was forced into a position where he simply had to replace a Teddy caliber QB with the same.  He did that.  

I supported kicking the tires on Sam.  But that is all we are doing.  It likely goes how that generally goes.  

 

We get it. We shudda taken a QB. Let's take the 3rd or 4th best QB instead of the best rated CB. Talent wins. We just took a great talent.

Opponents had a 71% completion rate outside the numbers in 2020.  Last in the league.  They got off the field 31st in the league, allowing opponents and average of over 13 possessions per game, to their own 11 possessions per game. '

Yeah.  We needed a CB1 MORE than a T.

the first time Horn picks off Fields, I'll lol my damn face off.

 

If Fields succeeds. We get to hear "I told you so". If he fails, we get to hear "Chicago is where QBs go to die. He deserved better".

 

The "I want a QB crowd" will never let this go.

Word was Fields was their 2nd rated QB in this draft.  MoveTheSticks said it during the draft.   Behind only the generational talent named Trevor. 

I don’t think it is outlandish to talk about how the Panthers are consistently botching the QB spot....which matters.

If true that tells you their grade on Darnold

Not sure what the context was, but I'd say the circumstances would tell you they didn't have him rated above Darnold.

Throw in that Bill Voth said he never got a sense that the Panthers braintrust was "gaga" about Fields.

Plenty of folks all over tv today claimed that if Fields drops, it is because of his release motion. It is more than twice as long as Trevor and Wilson. So he was not the overwhelming talent you claim.

 

You don't want anything but QB, how did that work out for you? We got an A+ talent. And it isn't good enough for way too many Huddlers.

Context was MoveTheSticks said Carolina was debating between two players as the Panthers were on the clock.  Fields and Horn.  And they had Fields as their 2nd rated QB in this draft.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
