Shouldn't take 3 seasons for a top 10 defensive tackle to figure it out.  This isn't a quarterback.  The average career length is 3.3 years.

What does he need to figure out??

How to make Whitehead and JC look like Kuckely??

Well that ain't never going to happen..

Alexander was also wildly wildly off on his mock draft the day before the draft, so who knows how much he really knows. Panthers also probably doing damage control in denying it

He is not the only person saying this..

And some of yau'll need to stop taking news reports from national writers as gospel over the beat writers with the team every day...

I know Waltersfootball got some cult following now.. But this is the 2nd story that has been controversial coming from that site..

I'd add, who wasn't off in mocking this draft?

Nobody saw the picks falling this way.

Um. The guy who reported this story! That is what we are arguing about! lol. He had the first 10 picks correct until trades happened. Also said last year we were locked in on Horn a month before the draft when our "knowledgeable local beat writers" had no earthly idea and were shocked

I don't take them as gospel but when a guy repeatedly gets Panthers draft plans correct and says during the draft "the Panthers passed on Slater because of his arms and didn't think he was a tackle" and then a year later Rhule says the same thing verbatim, you have to listen to what he has to say

1st Waltersfootball been around since 1999.. They have been more accurate (draft wise) the last 3 years but the 20 before were rough..

2. Draft picking and actually team reporting is 2 different things..

3. Kiper or Mcshay aren't reporting on Trades.. 

If you want reporting on the actual team you go to the Beat reporters ... Who are with the team and have way more sources in the building then a website..

Walter is an idiot, but Charlie who he employs is more knowledgeable on our inner workings than any of the beat writers right now. Honestly Charlie needs to be hired by one of the bigger guys

The best mock I saw actually came from a friend of mine who has a source in the Panthers organization (rarely divulges info) and his day job is a pastor lol…. Only one that I saw to have Ekwonu falling (he actually had him all the way down to the Seahawks) and thought we would go Cross because of his pass protection. Also the only person I saw to have Willis fall out of the first. He nailed the top 10 outside of switching Ekwonu and Cross around.

Crazy how wrong everyone was this year.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
