Huddle logic.

Panthers getting torched need a #1 CB.

 

Panthers pick best CB with highest ceiling and intangibles that can't be taught (wingspan, height, length)

Huddle:

RhUlE GoNnA Be OuT oF ThE LeAgUe In 3 YeArS!

 

 

 

lol Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

Well, you generally expect a top 10 player to be a dominant college player. Horn wasn’t. 

not just be a good athlete who you think you can groom into a great football player.

Don't think it was Tepper.

 

It's unfortunate Matt Rhule's time in Carolina will be remembered for how gutless he was when it came to filling the most important position in sports. I think he has one more year until the paper's start coming for Tepper as the losing seasons pile up, after which we'll see some new faces and hit reset yet again.

Yes it does. 

No. It absolutely does not and if you think it does then you are ignorant about how this process works. They have a board of players they think are talented and they have a set of needs. Falcons drafting a TE at #4 did not translate us taking a CB at #8 that wont even be covering the TE they took at #4 lol

I figured as much when we used up all the clock, but if he was our top prospect on the board, it worked out bc if we hadn't taken him, I think the Broncos would have.

Reports say they had offers but Fitterer didn't like them as much as he liked Horn.

I think what's gotten most huddlers upset is not necessarily picking Horn but picking Horn over Fields and Slater who were still available. CB is also a big need for the panthers for many years that has gone neglected, we've thrown so many late round picks at CB with out success. I guess Fitterer and Rhule feel that the OL depth is much better in rounds 2-4, I don't believe Seattle has ever drafted an O-linemen. This Horn pick does tell me that Rhule favors athleticism in his players, ie. Brown, Chinn, Gross-matos.

This can only happen if Fields winds up not being a franchise QB. If he's a franchise QB (which there's a pretty damn solid chance of) then even if Horn becomes the best CB in the league it would've been dumb to pass up Fields. 

No it also depends on Darnold. If Darnold is a legit QB then it's irrelevant what Fields does

Don't worry, Mr. Rhule will sure coach him up, just like he's going to do with Sam.

Yikes.

Not mad at it at all.  As I stated all day, Horn was a top 3 guy for me, and with how the picks shook out, he was 1st or 2nd at the time we picked.  And considering what the Hawks did at CB while Fitt was there, I 100% believe in his evaluation and selection of this pick.  He checks all the boxes for a shutdown corner.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
