so this loves football is where im curious... I have seen reports he was considering retiring and didnt love football. Also that the coaches had to go to his house and get him. I mean that doesnt mean his mind cant be changed...but there is a reason a team gave up on a top 10 pick after a year.

Reports aka randoms on twitters. Urban having to go to his house while Garafolo says CJ didn’t mesh with Meyer. Actual reports of Meyer having trouble getting guys to buy in. 

Many of you act as if the Panthers did no homework on this kid. CJ was on their short list of guys they felt comfortable drafting last year.

I'm not so sure it was he didn't love football as much as he didn't love meyer. Being stuck in Jax for 4 years under a guy you can't get along with could make someone contemplate retirement. Some situations are just toxic. I'm not saying that's for sure what happened, but it could be possible given the off-season poo that was coming out of Jax.

Makes me wonder if they would have gone QB or OL in the first if they got him.

QB? Seriously doubt it. Having him wouldn't have changed their feelings on that front.

OL? We tried, but the guy we wanted went to Detroit and we apparently didn't think Slater was worth the #8.

Honestly, we still might have taken Horn. But if not, as I recall per Panthers Confidential we had Devonta Smith in the mix.

Urban Meyer. That's all you need to know.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
