There was actually a report that Fields was the only QB we would take at 8. I would take that as Fields over Lance and Mac. 

Given that he was available at eight and we didn't take him, I'd day that "report" smells like bullsh-t. 

The more reliable report was actually that the only quarterbacks we liked were Lawrence and Wilson.

Well, that report was clearly wrong. There's lots of "reports" leading up to the draft. A lot of them prove to be wrong.

I wanted Fields too. The Panthers' didn't. It is what it is. I just hope we made the right call. Time will tell.

Having good to great linebackers have gotten us to the Super Bowl twice. We didn’t win it all not because of the linebackers but because of cheaters and bad coaching not being able to make adjustments. We could’ve used the money we gave Elflein, Erving and Perryman to help get a Shaq Griffin and then take Parsons. Instead we have three players that might not even see the field much at the end of the day because they’re either injury proned or just an average player. 

Having good to great LBs has gotten us a losing overall record. We've way over-invested at the position historically and that has created talent deficits at other more vital positions.

Don’t know what the hell you guys are talking about, I wanted Fields but I like the potential of Darnold too. No problem with it.

I don’t care if Carter had a good camp.

But I’ll answer the question for you. A couple, reasonable, quality 4-3 LBs alongside Shaq will be 12-15m. with Shaqs contract next year that’ll be 32-35 million of the cap going to LBs, or roughly 15-18%. And even more after next year. It’s not going to work.

Just rough numbers of course but that to me, is an issue. That’s all I’m saying. Don’t expect much better than Whitehead with Shaq’s contract unless the Panthers devote an unreasonable and possibly detrimental amount of cap to LBs. Again, that is all I was saying. How is this such a wild statement?

But feel free to continue to bash my opinion for taking a thread about a Panthers LB and relating it to another Panthers LB and LB position in general, by inaccurately referring to how I wanted a QB in the draft and am butthurt. Makes sense.

Exactly what I’m getting at.

If Darnold sucks, I guess it wouldn’t matter who is playing middle linebacker. It’ll show how poor Rhule is at grading quarterbacks.

 

And if Sam balls out. It will show just how little you know about evaluating QBs. I'm rooting for Sam even harder now.

We wanted Fields. The only guys that didn’t know that are you and the other two guys that came at my throat like I didn’t know what I was talking about. It sucks to get proven wrong. I understand it. Back to the main topic, the only reason why we passed up on Fields is because Rhule is an idiot and is putting his life on the line for Darnold just like how he did for Teddy last year. Any other coaches would’ve went with Fields. 

You're delusional and illogical. We did not want Fields. The only argument I need is that Fields was there and we didn't draft him. Linking reports that proved to be wrong doesn't make you right.

I got it right here for you guys who are blowing smoke about the Panthers not wanting Fields. Starts at the 44 second mark. You guys are embarrassing.

Lol arguing something that didn’t happen and he was available when we picked. Dude your real dumb lol!

Like Vic Fangio?  I would’ve loved Fields, I think he’ll be great, but numerous teams passed on him.  It’s not like “any other coach” would’ve drafted him, because they simply didn’t do it when it was actually draft time.  
 

on topic to the thread, it’s no coincidence that we shut out the Lions  and it was Whitehead’s first game being out.  He was very, very bad.

      Special Teams Oddities (laces out?)

      By drectorscut · Posted

      Care to elaborate why you disagree? We kicked the ball off 3 times and we kept the Browns to starting field position of the 22, 27, and 10 (would have been 21 before a penalty). All 3 of those are successes with the modern kickoff rule.

      Its August so obviously quality options are not there. The question is whether any improvement can be made to the bottom of the depth chart.

      NFL has a huge amount of parity.  The talent level between most NFL starters outside of the top 5 to 10 guys at a position is very comparable.  2020 worst teams Jacksonville Jaguars - 1-15 (worst record in NFL) New York Jets - 2-14 Cincinnati Bengals - 4-11-1 Atlanta Falcons - 4-12 Houston Texans - 4-12 Carolina Panthers - 5-11 Detroit Lions - 5-11 Philadelphia Eagles - 4-11-1 Los Angeles Chargers - 7-9 Denver Broncos - 5-11 2024 Worst teams New York Giants - 3-14 (tied for worst) Cleveland Browns - 3-14 (tied for worst) Tennessee Titans - 3-14 (tied for worst) New England Patriots - 4-13 Carolina Panthers - 5-12 Jacksonville Jaguars - 4-13 Las Vegas Raiders - 4-13 New York Jets - 5-12 Chicago Bears - 5-12 Arizona Cardinals - 8-9 Bengals, Texans, Lions, Eagles, Broncos and the Jags have all made the the playoffs in the last 3 years. What I'm saying is it's stupid to argue when team is the worst when there is so much parity and the system allows quick turnarounds.
