Combine isn’t nationally televised, it’s behind paid programming. 
 

these players showcase during their football season at their respective programs. Smith wants to abolish the NFL combine bc he feels it is an intrusive and inappropriate hiring practice for NFL teams to conduct.  In the article I shared with you he makes good points. Especially how they have to see 32 diffferent team doctors in a single day, pretty insane.
 

we are no longer in an era where these players are inaccessible due to lack of technology. We know everything about these kids because of what tech enables today, the combine’s original purpose has aged. Before it was a way for a player to showcase their skills bc no one had heard of them due to them not getting their name in the papers or picked up on main stream television. 
 

Feel how you want and defend all you can, but based on how passionate he is about this and the buy-in he has from the NFLPA… combine will be changing and that’s inevitable.

 

I can't believe so many find it interesting.

53% ain’t average   

 

The problem with just looking at the stats is it's a small sample size of his first year starting. Take for example this game in which his receivers had 6 drops, including a touchdown. If these balls were caught his average would have jumped to 55.6%. I know every quarterback deals with drops, but every drop hurt Richardson's stats more as he only had a year to work with, with relatively few passing attempts.

I think if we legit liked Young or Stroud and we went up knowing we were going to draft one…..then we would have already flipped over the cards and just let it be known.  Which basically is what happens when you love a QB at #1. 

I think there is debate.  And the longer we don’t know….the higher the odds the Tepper Panthers do something unpopular imo

Levis would be the worst decision in franchise history.

Zero chance we draft AR number one. We'd be the laughing stock of the NFL

It is way to late for that part. We will continue to be just that until we can get our franchise QB and win games to remove that target from our backs being laughing stock to the NFL. Just hoping the pick will be between Stroud and Young.

If Carolina had sat at 9 and Richardson fell to them, go ahead and swing for the fences. I'm all for it.

Giving up what Carolina gave up to take AR at no. 1? Nah.

And we would likely have to accept that Dalton would be the starter next season.

"Game tape is what's most important. Hopefully it's two or three years of production, you'll see 1000 plays on tape and that's really who the guy is. You get to the combine, yeah they run around and they're going to throw the ball great but no-one is in front of them no-one is chasing them."

Does this really sound like a GM who's going to take Richardson with the 1st pick?

Exactly. Richardson is the direct opposite of that description. I find it incredibly hard to believe we'd be going to this level of smokescreening when we hold the #1 pick.

I don't think it's a smokescreen.  I think the Panthers know who they want, but the league wants them to keep it quiet to give them something to talk about.  I think the Panthers are just having fun with it

If everything is a smokescreen, why couldn’t his statement about film be one? Not saying you’re wrong, it’s just we can’t really believe anything at the moment.

They are making moves to win now---unless they plan to start Dalton for a season or more, this makes no sense.   If Cam Newton had not played here--and these players are similar---would this even be in the discussion?

RISK is a very important factor--Tepper knows RISK---CALCULATED Risk.  When you have 2 investments that will earn a 10% return for 10+ years, you don't invest in something that might tank or earn you 15% for 8 years---

Tepper Knows Risk, and if this decision had been made, they would not be traveling to Columbus by the dozen.

You'd have a package of plays for Richardson from day 1.

He's only going to benefit from playing - you'd probably start Dalton until the bye week, then hand the reigns over to the rookie after that.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
