Did you not follow our draft then? 

I did.  I didn't pay as much attention to the later rounders, in particular his speed. 

To be fair, historically, our late rounders were wasted Hurney picks.

I had no idea either.  Its why I posted it.

Yeah he is a burner. We grabbed him in the 4th round and Stanley Thomas Oliver in the 7th. He had trouble in coverage and some in tacking last season, but it wasn't for lack of effort that I could see. He ran with everyone we asked him to, he just had trouble tracking the ball and playing as physical as he needs to against NFL receivers (at least that's what I saw). He's got plenty of talent just needs to work on technique and mindset a little.

Well supposedly that was not a Hurney draft. I don't know that I believe that but that is what some here choose to believe.

I would think you would have known about him since he was a guy that was talked about quite a bit before the season.

I knew of him.  I knew he went to ND and was late round CB.   That was about it.

Is that OK?

Horn, Jackson and Pride is a great top 3 for our CB group. 

Watch out for Taylor.  He earned his stripes at Washington, they leave em on an island there.  He tore up at the senior bowl.

Its gonna be fierce competition at cb this year.

I love it.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year.

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
