It's not hindsight. Called it then. Called it with TMJ over Humphrey. Our center play has been hot garbage for damn near a decade and relying on a guy moved from guard to C coming off back to back injury seasons was stupid. I've been beating the drum for a center since we traded for Paradis. 

yeah but nobody cared then just like nobody cares now.

It’s a weird take given how they’ve had consistently good center play from a rotating cast of guys there this season. It’s not a valuable position to invest in and they absolutely should not set a high pick on fire trying to fix a problem that isn’t broken. 
 

if anything this season has completely disassembled the argument that they should so we find it odd you’re trying to beat the drum for it just because a guy got injured

Took Brooks who was injured during the draft, but wouldn't touch Payton Wilson who was actually healthy because of his injury history.  Complete Panthers logic.

Just imagine where we would be right now with Wilson’s 33 tackles on the season? Total game changer

He's a reserve for the Steelers because they are actually deep..  Imagine the amount of tackles he would have in our defense that can't stop the rush.  I have no doubt WAY more than Wallace.

Point remains, they veered away from a healthy dude because of past injuries and actually drafted a dude with a serious one at the time. STUPID.

We also have a 1000 yard rusher picked in the fourth round on the roster.. They really need to stop drafting RBs so early. There's no point

It's so fuging infuriating that people cannot see something that is so simple. 

A top 5 RB is already at an AAV of almost $8.5 mil.

It's literally the weakest position on the OL and has been from Corbett to BC to Mays. Why not get a top center? I mean, they are literally the cheapest of all OL.

He is a significantly more NFL ready guy than Wallace now but he is also a lot older. I also probably would have rather had Wilson but I completely understand the reasons to avoid him. The same reasons we should have avoided a far lower value position in RB in the 2nd.

I am way less perturbed about taking Wallace over Wilson than I am Brooks over Frazier. That's a lightspeed stupid move that most intelligent Huddlers could have even made while above a legal driving BAC limit.

Frazier made more sense than Brooks. We were going to have a starting C that was switching from guard on the last year of his contract. Taking a RB with a busted wheel for a 2-15 team isn't really a luxury you can afford.

This is the crux of the Panthers situation. Consistently making luxury picks that don't pan out.

TBH, it's been a rough draft so far. XL is looking suspect for a guy that was a trade up. Brooks may never play meaningful snaps for us again. Wallace could be a guy? Hard to say so far. Sanders may be a stud. The guys after that are basically nothing.

If XL or Wallace don't pan out, this was a classic Panthers dumpster fire draft.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
