QBs win games and CBs help make good Ds. It's the right call by Tepper but it's also time to put this staff on the clock. Start winning or get better people.

Qbs do not win games. We had one last year and he kinda sucks at winning games. CBs do not help make good Ds. We had plenty of CBs last year and did not have a good D. 

Good QB wins games and good CB makes Ds good. If we thinks Horn is a good CB thus making the D good and Fields is not a good QB helping us win games, then the pick is the right one. 

I am sure that any coach in the league would rather have a top 10 QB than a top 10 CB, but lets see if Fields is such a good QB. And lets see what Horn can do before we say taking a CB over a QB was wrong.

I’m glad Tepper didn’t overrule his staff. 

But there are good odds he was right.  No matter how much we needed a DB, in the big picture QB is still the biggest need in Carolina.  

and just from a positional impact perspective, it’s also easy for Fields to make this decision look really bad.  Given he will be playing QB for a very good Chicago team.....and DBs don’t have the same impact on games QBs do.

I will say that one of the best two CBs was there. Surtain may or may not turn out to be the best in this class.

TBD.  Horn may be the better fit in Snow’s scheme or because he is a better matchup against division competition.

Good on Tepper for trusting his people. Now his people better hope they're right or they may realize they were given the rope to hang themselves with.

 


If Fields ends up being better than Darnold, Dave may never sit on his hands again.

And nobody could blame him.  
 

Teddy was a colossal mistake, and now if Fields turns out good and Darnold does not then I could see any owner becoming frustrated.

I don’t think we see fields start this year. At least not to begin with. It seems clear by the team choice they want to develop him about behind the vet. Maybe throw him in if the vets stink it up.

I don’t expect Horn to play great this year either.  All of these guys you need to give a few years to accurately judge.

      How Bout Some Love to the Rookie kicker?!

      By Basbear · Posted

      All good solids points. I think after the RB and LB, is kicker the next spot among "Legacy" panther spot?? Kasay, gano, butkler, Eddie(best all-time %), Slye, Lloyd the touch back god, Mare, lols.....  Fitz...*right now* feels a combo of all the best panther ones. With the new rules, Fitz is either first or second in starting field position form KOs. He's a weapon and ten yards do matter.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      "Plays well" vs "near historic performance" are pretty different things. It's important to keep in mind the Cowboys passing defense is league worst and their run defense is nearly so, for sure. But one of those two players vastly outperformed what most other players have done versus the Cowboys and the other had fewer yards than typical (but still played very well imo, and did all we needed him to). Rico pretty much doubled up virtually every other single back that has played the Cowboys.  So yeah I get why people would be surprised that Rico is so far down the list of O players.

      Trevin and Rozeboom remind me (obviously at a smaller scale) of when they had Beason as the mic and Luke beside him. Luke looked very average and was out of position a lot until he swapped to mic. REALLY hoping this is another case of that. Just on eye test alone that swap has been a night and day difference.
