So much for "high character guys." I hope he works out both on and off field, but this pick is a poser to say the least. I'll be happy to be wrong on him.

So will the rest of us but the questions are valid.

Remember his coach at Oregon for all but last year was that doofus Mario Cristobal who couldn’t even properly utilize Justin Herbert 

As a Miami fan, this has me tripping, no lie. But maybe DJ is a 3-4 OLB only guy. Richt didn’t run 3-4 at Miami. Mario ran 4-3 at Oregon. Maybe Lannings 3-4 was the key to unlocking who Johnson really is

Not just punch him.  Sucker punch to the back of the head.  And he frankly faced no consequences for it.  His next move was to declare for the draft.  And that just happened with the 24 year old.  It’s not like it was something that happened at 18 and you saw growth and maturity after.  
 


 

It have no issue with this welcome to the Panthers DJ

lol.  Have at it. 

I do.  I don’t care for the team I support to draft dudes like that.  Just not my preference, too many other options.   That was literally just 5 months ago and the dude is 24.  No consequences on top of it.  That’s his last act as an old college player.  Sucker punching a dipshit fan in the back because you can’t handle your emotions.  That’s not toughness or dawg.  That’s a dumbass that can’t handle pressure and emotions.  

Anywho, moving on….but I’ll stick with not liking using 2 picks to overdraft this dude.

Ridiculous…he is a kid and this happened in the heat of the moment.  You act like is some career criminal or something.  Looking back at when he was picked there were a ton of reaches in that area.  This draft is very weak.

With Trenton Simpson on the board this is a dumb pick

Some draft forecasters had Trenton Simpson rated as high as a top 50pick. Others knocked him, saying his short area quickness wasn't ideal for difficult coverage assignments or swiveling around in pursuit.

Just being honest.. It’s hard talking myself into this pick.. I’ve watched some of his tape and the athleticism at the combine gets masked over by the sheer struggles at not knowing what he’s doing and constantly being in the wrong place.. He is a 25 year old project at this point.. jmo

Post-Draft Analysis

A former tight end and 24-year-old prospect, Johnson reminds me of Brian Burns in the way he plays and will fit that same role in the stand-up, outside rusher position. Johnson likely factors in as a rotational pass-rusher out of the gate, but he could continue to develop and push Yetur Gross-Matos opposite Burns. -- Matt Miller

Nah, this is just fandom and excuse making. 

24 year olds ain’t “kids”.  Be 25 for us in his rookie year.  And his last act on a football field was a sucker punching and assaulting someone from behind for a couple words as he walked by.  That’s a legit red flag no matter how you slice it.  

Perfectly reasonable to dislike a team using 2 picks to overdraft him when there was other talent that filled holes in the 3rd.   And you keep your 4th. 

It is what it is.  Calling it what it was.  Hopefully he can redeem himself of that.  But that’s part of the deal at this point.   And should be.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
