I agree, hindsight 20/20 but a GM/Scouts should be held accountable for mis-evaluating both need and talent. If your job is in quality control you don't just overlook someone who lets malfunctioning products through.

I tend to think we have talent, its coaching we have lacked. Lets hope that has been fixed. Now if Fox would give someone like Jarrett a chance with Moore (who is by far a better passer then Delhomme in his opportunities earlier this year).

I still think he could be a good #2 as I think he has good size and is a great run blocker. He also has very good hands. His problem is getting consistent separation. Lets hope Tyke can change that.

We used our 2nd round pick to trade up for Otah, a great pick and a huge need.

3rd round we took Connor, who had a 1st round grade by alot of scouts and Godfrey because we had a huge need at safety.

The two you listed in the 6th round were both developed by their teams more than they were a miss in scouting.

What pick exactly do you think we should have changed?

No, we gave up a 1st round, 2nd round and 4th round pick to select Otah.

    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
    • This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach
    • 2 bad teams played yesterday and one lost. Both teams are still bad today. Bryce is a big part of that. It wouldn't have been a close game if DC would have just gone rage rushing from the start.  The Panthers would look so much better with just decent WB play. No way to avoid that fact.
