Parsons, Fields, Slater

[slumdogmillionaire]

So glad the panthers picked CB at 8 when that position is easier to retain (Djax) or obtain (Henderson/Gilmore) or find UDFA (Taylor) and we passed up Parsons, Fields, Slater.    So fuging stupid to pass on positions we needed and that are harder to obtain.  Horn is great but just the last 4 months showed us how it’s easier to get a DB than it would to get QB, LT, or a stud linebacker.

Mac Jones?

[Reebis21]

Well for starters…
- I don’t wanna retain DJax

- Henderson hasn’t proven to be anything worth a damn 

- Do we wanna pay Gillmore if we r in fact still rebuilding? Will he wanna resign with a team that has no QB, no oline, a coach who is on the hottest of hot seats, not in playoff contention?

It’s easy to do this now. Parsons is a freak. Slater would be a great addition. Fields would probably look the same in this garbage offense. But Horn was playing amazing when healthy.

Taylor Heinicke says Jaycee Horn was a need.

Big Slater fan btw. 
 

Parsons was a little sus personally even for Ped State 

[onmyown]

Fact is this staff has tried to take every short cut and cheat code to success instead of paying their dues during a rebuild and it has so fair failed miserably. That is due to inexperience.

Slater is the only one of those I'd argue over Horn.

But this has been discussed to death already

It’s hilarious how badly you guys wanna prop up Fields to validate your pre-draft crush lol. He doesn’t belong anywhere near the same company as Slater and Parsons.

58.1 completion %, 4 TDs, 8 INTs, 136 YPG passing, 25.9 QBR

That’s absolutely abysmal. Yeah he’s a rookie and it’s very possible he could go on to have a good career, but that’s hardly a foregone conclusion. It blows my mind that people are crying about us passing him over after the rookie season he has had. The irony is that his stats are actually pretty darn similar to Darnold’s (worse actually in almost all categories) and yet one is the worst QB of all time and the other is a rookie sensation who we will regret passing over.

Oh and probably the worst stat of Fields? He takes a sack on 13.5% of pass plays….13.5%….that’s insane. And before you preach about their terrible o-line, Andy Dalton has taken a sack on 5.1% of his pass plays for comparison.

Again, Fields may go on to have a great career. I’m not calling him a bust by any means, I’m saying he’s had a pretty bad rookie season so the hype surrounding him right now is just weird and unfounded. Maybe if you’re comparing him against Zach Wilson (another Huddle pre-draft crush) then I guess he’s having an okay season?

I still like to think Sewell was our #1 target and the Lions ruined it, so the Panthers are going to Panther and take a CB instead

[Cdparr7]

Justin Fields is dogshit. Should have drafted Jones.

 

 

[Doc Holiday]

Uhm… not fields.

but I did raise some hell about us not picking up Slater or Parsons, Slater most of all.

with the current state of our oline there is no way to defend the pic of Horn over Slater. I raise till about this at the time and now time is proving me correct.

We couldn’t get off the field on 3rd down in 2020 and when Horn was playing we got off the field on 3rd down

The number if fuging threads about “iF tHe pAnTheRs dRaFt a Lb” 

Slater would have been a good pick as well but Panthers thought 3rd down was the biggest issue

Fields wouldn’t be doing any better behind this line.

I hate the shoulda coulda woulda. Horn looks to be a good corner and it sucks he got hurt but you can thank the Texans shitty turf for that.

A lot of folks are forgetting how good Horn actually was playing.

2 things here:

1. Our staff is fuging retarded if they think getting off the field on 3rd down is a bigger need then protecting the qb

 

2. Our staff is fuging retarded since they didnt have Slater on the board for tackle because of his "Short arms"  As of today Slater is grading out at 82 on PFF as a damn rookie that started the season at LT.  Almost 10 points higher than Sewell. 

 

The philosophy and mindset of this organization needs a damn re-do already

It’s hard to tell considering WHO he was playing. I look forward to seeing him against elite QBs and WRs. I think he will be great, but a top 10 pick on CB isn’t really a franchise changer.  Like the Lions recently, Broncos last year, Jags with Ramsey, and Cards with Peterson have shown us. OL or QB should have been the pick with several options available. Slater would have been the safest, followed by Mac, with Fields having the most potential IMO.
