The Panthers have been really good at keeping things quiet....

Did some thinking this morning and I am realizing that this is the most concealed that this office has ever been. Seems like every expert, analyst, or media source has been dead wrong when trying to forecast what our plan is. 

If you think about recent years under who shal not be named ... we knew everything and our moves were predictable. 

So here is my question to the huddle.... Why do you think this is? How have we become so good at keeping things internal?

My theory: Respect. I believe our FO/Staff has a lot of respect around the league and when they have conversations with other offices, they keep the door shut.

 

Let me know your thoughts.

I think intentional leaks are also a big factor. Potentially even with this front office. They could be intentionally leaking different names for our favored QB on purpose. I think so much of this time of year is gamesmanship and Voldemort was just clueless.

Maybe Im off - feel free to share material of someone predicting our offseason coaching hires and offseason acquisitions. 
 

Then we can close this thread.

No, you may actually be right. THe info we are getting could be all guesses from the media.

I tend to agree, I have never seen this much confusion over what we are doing in the draft, or what free agents we are bringing. For example, no one saw Miles Sanders actually getting signed. People listed him as a good fit, but to me that came out of nowhere. Didn't see him connected by anyone.

It shouldn’t be. Playing the media is amateur.

No need to besmirch Voldemort’s name and reputation by comparing him to Rhule.  That’s just unnecessarily cruel.  

Be better than that.

Even the illustrious Hurndog couldn't hide his intentions. Will Grier was one of the worst kept secrets leading up to draft day. When he focused in on a player, there was no chance of getting any kind of deal. While there are moves this offseason I'm not as fond of as others, they've done well concealing their intentions. It's refreshing to see this franchise being run like a business instead of a good ol boys club.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
