agree, we wanted an owner like this for years.  What's funny is as soon as we get it all I hear is "he's trying too hard" and "its embarrassing".  Season 1 Sport GIF by SHOWTIME Sports

 

I think wanting to pursue big names and all that is great.

 

What I don't like is that HE is the one that is in these meetings and leading the charge.    It needs to be the football guys doing this.   Hire smart guys and let them do their job.  And give them leeway to do things their way.

Also sheena’s tweet about falcons talking about “pieces around deshaun”. Literally every team has done this that is involved. Including us.

 

Yes I was thinking the same, except we are in a better position to actually do that than both teams. This all seems so odd.

Yep. Exactly. I’ll take aggressively trying to build a winner over “we just want to have a big happy family” any day of the week

The truth is right now Deshaun probably is concerned with what community would accept him the most. The answer to that is Atlanta, no doubt. Hard to put a price tag on not getting heckled or chastized when out and about.

not disagreeing with you, but I will say that he is the billionaire.  If I was a star Qb I would appreciate the owner coming to me more than his chronies.

Hey would absolutely get heckled and fuged with in Atlanta too.  Its not like they're some monolithic society down there.  Im sure there are many, many people who live in Atlanta who are disgusted with Watson, just like anywhere else.

Why isn’t cleveland in the mix? Last I read the brass went down to meet with Watson yesterday.

I can respect that too.   The part that bugs me is the reading the reports about him forcing his football decisions on his staff.  That's not using his influence in the right way.   And him not firing Rhule and keeping Hurney but hey, that's another issue.

    • I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...
    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
