The irony of the 2013 defense is that we had UDFA/Nobodies across the secondary.

different type of league then. we lost to the most modern offense in the league in the playoffs.

what high draft pick doesnt have this kind of pressure?

Ummm hmm idk last pick at 8 for us worked out really really well. Almost broke all-time records within his first season. If these are the expectations you have for our CB more power to you.

tbh it probably doesn’t matter who we pick until brady fugs off and rides into the sunset with his 20 rings or gets theismanned

and then it might matter that we picked the safe corner back that could develop into a shutdown guy instead of the QBs that were left that have a lot of question marks and might be holding a clipboard in three years

[Horny]

Never, but it's unusual for a corner to be the first defensive player selected in the entire draft.

if Fields becomes a star then Fitterer and rhule are gone

cant say I’d be willing to risk my nfl career on whatever angle they just talked themselves into 

What happens with Fields is irrelevant.

What happens with the Panthers will determine whether Rhule and Fitterer are 'gone'.

If the Panthers have another losing season then it will weigh heavily on the current staff.

No one pick is going is going to win us a Super Bowl. We got a shut down corner. It’s a piece. Let’s see what we do tomorrow before going off the deep end.

I think what he meant is that as long as the Panthers are successful then it doesn't matter what Fields does. But if Darnold continues to be a bum and we continue to flail while Fields and/or Jones ends up being successful in Chicago and/or NE leading them to deep playoff runs with elite QB play... oh wee mayne, is that ever gonna look bad.

Winning cures all, but it's an uphill battle for Sam Darnold, and thus the Panthers.

I don't disagree in the least. I honestly think we've hitched our wagon to a busted horse but we shall see.

Quit your crying. 

 

Seriously.
