I remember that Vikings debacle it was amazing tv drama! For me it was Eli vs Philly Rivers. I grew up a Wolfpack fan but ended up going to Ole Miss. So the drama between those two was like peak Young and the Restless for me. Being soooo happy we got Kuechly, all the drama surrounding Cam. Anytime and every time the Saints do a dumbass trade and whiff on the results.....

Watching Tunsil drop because a video got leaked of him smoking out of a gas mask. Not panthers related but that was the wildest thing I’ve seen during a draft 

And La'El Collins and the murder investigation knocking him from 1st rounder to (intentionally) undrafted, with the agent threats and hoopla that went along with that.

As a Panther fan and long time Huddler, my favorite draft moment is the year we took Star. This place is always arguing over who we should take. This year its which LT vs which QB vs trade down with a small few in the DE camp. All of the arguments are fine but rest assured, at the end of the night some people will be aggressively angry with the pick, hoping the player fails to prove their opinions right while swearing they are done with the team until Rhule and perhaps even Tepper are gone.

But there year we took Star is the only year I can remember where nearly this entire board was rejoicing. We had been talking about Star for nearly a full year saying we needed to somehow get him. And going into the draft we thought we picked too low and that he would be gone before the pick. We announced Star as the pick the very second we were on the clock and its really the only time I can remember that almost every single Huddler was happy about the pick. 

Star had a good career here but was certainly nowhere near our best pick ever. But that draft was really fun because we had all been wanting that guy for like 10 months are longer and we got him.

Isn't there a YouTube clip of a Huddler's reaction to the pick in real time ?

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
