That’s true. Most people have actually heard of Sam. 

If you cry hard enough about Sam Howell and talk enough poo about the players that we did draft then maybe the universe will realign to give you what you want. So just keep throwing shade at all of our new players. That'll surely help your cause in the long run.

His issue is processing.  However, a 5 star recruit who probably was always able to get by on his athleticism (like Cam) so his processing is not as developed as someone who needs it to compete.

The details of the trade:

The Washington Commanders traded the 120th pick and 189th pick to the Carolina Panthers for the 144th pick and 149th pick.

This was a good move, Scott Fitterer.

 

We lost 5 draft points for that trade.  We gave 70.8 and they gave 65.8.  So total draft value,  its like we picked him at  117. 

His valuation was mostly in the pick 50-100 range, but NFL.com hated him and put him at 257, bringing his average rank to 95.

As Mark Twain once said "There are three types of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics." It looks like the kid can hit like a freight train, so I'll go with what I can see.

Was supposed to be Parsons 2.0, but never clicked this year. That said, he is the top athlete at LB. If the instincts ever come around and he plays fundamentals instead of going for the splash play, he's gonna be a steal in years 2 and 3. 

Kinda shocked he lasted this long but w/e

  • A dominating athlete who tests off the charts - at 240lbs he's reportedly run a hand-timed 4.38 (although we consider our 4.40 a more reliable report)
  • Made Bruce Feldman's Freaks list at #32 -- "Smith’s explosiveness is in line with many of the recent Penn State standouts. He broad jumps 10-5 and verticals 36 inches. His 4.25 shuttle time also is very strong, as is his 335-pound clean

Dude looks to be nasty and carry a ton of lumber. Nice blitzing too, and doesn't look like an outright liability in coverage. I really like this pick

Fans should truly be pumped. 

LT- smart, tough, hard worker

QB- maybe the long term answer?

 LB- Do-all freakshow

Just cost a future 3rd and exchange 5ths for a 4th and 6th. 

Homer glasses off, respect the hell of the effort this year. Panther waited and my god did it pay off. Hard to say it could gone better if you take the big picture in..

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
