PETER KING: Bryce Young is head and shoulders in the lead to be #1 pick

I think some caught on, and it should be obvious to you by now.  It is like you did not get the joke, which is OK, but then you feel empowered to attack its premise, taking it literally.  Then when it is explained to you, you say, "that's dumb".  You use the pronoun "We" here--not sure others see you ask their spokesperson.  Move on, Padre.  Maybe the next bit of sarcasm will not fly by you like a stranger in a crowd.  Sorry you didn't get it.  Now stop being petty.

 

 

"I think some" is the same as "we'

 

Do better next time..

I'd call that saying something.

Sure, but not in the sense of who the pick was or who the favorite was, which was the basis of my comment. A bleacher report article that poorly summarized a David Newton article that did not say who the favorite was, just gave both sides.

What king actually said about Young...

This doesn’t mean anything on the surface, because the way “reporting” works this time of year, things that make sense get repeated and repeated and repeated and it all becomes one giant Insider Echo Chamber. But I didn’t hear anyone, in calls Friday through Sunday, who thinks the first pick won’t be Bryce Young. He may not be. I’m just telling you what’s out there.

I don't know about the Bleacher Report summary, but the Newton article was very good.

Not specifying a favorite doesn't mean bad reporting, especially not at the choice isn't made yet.

Well the whole comment was a response to that, I never said the report wasn't good, in fact I said I really liked it.

It is just being used as the basis for a bleacher report article that says insiders believe the Panthers will Draft Stroud over Young, thus my original comment.

Don't you

No. it's a needed distraction/break from the other stuff in life that i probably take too seriously. frees the brain a little bit and helps curb stress. 

none of this should ever cause stress. it's just not important enough and shouldn't be that important unless your livelihood depended on it.

but but fitterer said offhand in an interview they weren’t gonna make a choice yet

 

i think all along they have an idea of who they want and are using the time available to decide if there is a better option or convince themselves that their choice is the right one.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
