It's doubtful I'm gonna watch. I think I've had enough this year.

I play in a money league and I watch games based on that at this point.  I’m playing the Titans D (intentionally pick up who we play at this point) and I’m going to gamble on big arm Levis chucking it to Nuk in my flex

Plus this should be a game changer week if we lose.  You can’t lose to the Bagent Bears and Levis Titans in a 3 week span given how this has gone and nothing happen.

That’s also Geno and Jimmy G

Surtain - Mahomes 2x every year, Herbert 2x every year, Allen, Burrow, Lawerence, Dak, Hurts, Tua, etc,  and those elite QBs are throwing to elite weapons.  That’s what has made his job significantly tougher.   

Horn suited up against a grand total of 1 elite QB for a full game and it was over in the first quarter with them not even having to try to throw because Joe Mixon had the best game of his career and a field day.   Horn flat out hasn’t had to defend elite QB play like Surtain.  Maybe he is better.  Who knows.  He is good when he has played.   Surtain’s competition has just been different and much tougher. 

I mean, Jaycee Horn could shutdown a prime Megatron to 0 yards if I was QB.  QB play is relevant to the convo and Horn hasn’t seen it. 

That's somewhat of a different discussion. It's at least a nuance. I will concede that QB play makes a difference. How much? I don't know. I mean, regardless of who the pass is coming from and you stop it, you still stopped it. That being said, who's better is at least arguable.

Yep. I wanted Slater, Fields or Surtain over Horn. I love Jaycee but it was a mistake to have drafted him. I guess not as big of a mistake as Fields. 

I flat out thought we'd pick Fields with an off chance of it being Slater. But I thought Fields was it, even though we had heard rumors of Horn. It should've been Fields though. I'll die on that hill, even though Fields has been up and down.  I think that he's displayed enough upside to land rightful criticism upon Fitt and company.

Oh, Fields clearly should've been the pick. It would've probably turned out the same as it has in Chicago but the talent was very obvious.

I hope Chicago moves on from him. I'm ready to find out if a different situation can resurrect his career. It just ain't happening in Chicago. Time for them to ruin another one. Please don't let it be Drake Maye. Ruining QBs is just what the Bears do.

Time table wise, if Fields flopped here….we could at look the 2024 QBs.  

and just think of all the assets between that draft year to today we lost for a QB.   Fields fell in our lap.  That’s why you take him given what we were.  It was the smart front office play.

I think Fields has definitely shown himself to be a bust with little NFL future but there is at least something to be said for dying on the hill of gambling on a QB.

Taking a player in a position that was far from a need and arguably not even the best CB at the time was just foolish. 

Not that any of us could have figured why Horn would end up being a bust. Such a sad scenario all around.

I don't understand your love affair with Fields...

 

The pick should have been Miccah Parsons

Love affair? Hell, I'm saying Chicago should move on from him. Hardly a love affair. 😂

He has a high level of talent. That's obvious. He just hasn't been at all consistent. As a fan of football, I'm curious to see if a change of scenery can fix that.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
