Did I mention I didn't like the Mingo pick? I didn't like the Young pick for that matter either.

Yeah we know. Why weren't you interviewed for GM then since you have all the answers and are the real expert here? Pat yourself on the back for your feedback after the games over a few more times please.

The sad part is I am not an expert, but could have a assembled a better roster than the so-called experts.

I don't remember seeing a single person saying he transformed because Smith helped him in the off-season. I remember many saying there is nothing wrong with Smith helping him and it could only be a benefit so why not.

My comment is obviously somewhat tongue in cheek, but some commentary around it and this article was... entertaining.

"The second-year wideout has looked much sharper working with the ones in training camp and shows moments resembling savvy. Wednesday, it was making a play during a scramble drill, the kind of play that requires instincts and instruction. It's perhaps a play he doesn't make a year ago, and coach Dave Canales visibly brightened when asked about it."

It looked like a Jimmy Clausen game. 

Given the investment we had to make in Bryce, I think he has easily surpassed Clausen as the biggest QB disaster in franchise history.

In the grand scheme of things, Clausen was really just a bust of a 2nd round pick (par for the course for the Panthers) and had a terrible season but that terrible season got us the #1 overall pick and and an MVP QB in Cam Newton so honestly even though he was individually atrocious he played his part in the overall arc of the franchise. Now we need Bryce to play us into position to hopefully get us our next franchise QB.

How many starters do we have who would start for most other teams? How many backups do we have who would make most other rosters?

This team is trash and it's because the organization Tepper has "built" is trash.

Not having a single decent player isn’t all on owner and GM though. Yes like 90% it is. But none of our players look like they give a poo. That’s not on coaching or GM, that’s on lazy shitty players.

In Clausen’s defense, his head coach forced him to play out of spite to JR. And Hurney for picking him. 

Clausen was not ready and Fox really just fuged him over. He just wasn’t ready. He may have never been ready but he was thrown to the wolves. 
Young is so much of a different thing, he has been coddled and favored and propped and they have done everything they could to help him.

Poor kid. I mean he’s going to make generational money being the #1 pick so invest well and he’ll be fine, but man it’s over for him. He won’t get a backup job either. I see SEC broadcast in his future.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
