Feels like I see the phrase "former high draft pick from the Patriots cut" a lot these days.

They haven't necessarily drafted particularly well for a while now.

(hence the massive free agent frenzy of a couple years ago that included Cam Newton)

Im pretty sure the Patriots have never been good at drafting... They have been good at signing FAs and Scheming.

Sure it wasn't Kenjon Barner? He even won Superbowls with the Patriots, not that he was very good.

played nine seasons and won three super bowls

He didn’t become Barry sanders but I imagine he’s reasonably happy with the career he had

Keep up with the conversion UNC fanboy. 😁 That's Holton "Mr ECU" Ahlers, one of the largest QBs from the last draft class.

Yes, I am the fanboy who wants the Panthers to sign some out of shape scrub QB from EZU. I’ve never heard of him, but I would be willing to bet my next large, very lucrative paycheck he plays as many regular seasons games the next ten years that you do.

Oh, I doubt he ever plays a down in the NFL regular season as well.

Settle down it was in jest for the most part. Mocking the size bros also.

Yep. I guess he missed out, ignored, or forgot about all the posts that were made leading up to the draft.

Yeah, they've been middle of the pack at drafting. They had a huge competitive advantage during the Belichick/Brady duo era of being able to stockpile vets chasing rings. If you were a proven vet with fug you money already in the bank and truly wanted that SB ring to crown your career, it was by far your #1 destination of choice.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
