There are people pining for the leadership of Marty Hurney right now.

We may have officially reached The Ninth Circle of Dumb 🙄

I wish Hurney could come in every year just to make a first round selection and then walk out the door after that first round selection not to return back until its time to make the next first round drafty selection. The dude usually drafted pretty well in the first. He sucked at most everything else but first round he was a whiz

Of course he was! We were always picking in the top 10 because of him. Hard to miss when you're picking that high.

True for the most part if you leave out guys like Jamarcus Russell and some other top 10 busts. Even his later first round picks turned out pretty well. terrible GM but the guy could scout a first rounder

Tell that to Scott Fitterer

Ickey and Derrick Brown have been good??

 

horn is the only one you could arguably call a bad pick, and even then, he showed no issues staying healthy in college. Just bad luck. 
 

there are things to criticize Scott for but i don’t think first round selections are one of them.

How could Fitterer have drafted Brown if he was hired 9 months after Brown was drafted?

Okay? The point still stands that the *only* first round pick of Scott’s that could be considered “bad” is Jaycee - and once again it’s due to an issue that never reared its head in college. So of Scott’s three first round picks you have

 

one that looks good and send to be on his way to being a stud (Ickey)

One who’s a great player but hurt too often (Horn)

and one who just played their first game (Bryce)

 

You can be bummed about Jaycee, I am too, but there’s nothing proving Scott is “bad” in the First round.

OL - B+ they actually pleasantly surprised me how cohesive they were on most plays already. That said 5 sacks is not a number they should allow.

QB - I’ll reserve that until we see a bit more of him. 
 

WR - Who? Do we have any WR’s on the team. Agree on the F.

Hurst - A

Defense - D-, the defense overall was, not good. 

Coaches - F. Those game plans sucked ass. 

Respect your ratings. As far as the sacks go, I attribute most of it to how long Young held onto the ball.

My QB and all my ratings were just for how they played for this game. I certainly expect Young to get better with more experience and practice, but he needs WR help and the timing was atrocious (half on WR half on Young).

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
