How many said this yesterday?

I wasn't online, but after hearing the Claussen pick I turned to a friend and said 'bet the Panthers forum just exploded".

Who else said the same thing?

All I remember is saying that the Claussen pick wouldn't happen and I was wrong.

haha, I didn't even try to get on for about 30 minutes. I was too busy high-fiving my friend who went to Notre Dame for undergrad.

Weren't you the one who predicted it?

Also: I couldn't get on. Zod has failed; the server should've been able to handle the traffic! IT'S JUST NOT READY FOR THE PROS.

When I got back on (10:30) there were almost 2000 guests. That is the problem.

Panthro jokingly predicted it like a month ago. I thought we would take him if we could though.

I'll blame it on the both of you. :P Joking; I don't mind the pick.

So would there have been a larger percentage uttering the phrase "$#@%...I can't get online" :eek:

I didn't utter it, but I was thinking it. :cool:

Yeah, but how many people does BOA stadium hold? It will have to prove its mettle soon enough...

:biggrin: once the Clausen Highlight vid came up, I knew it was over for a few hours and I just SMH.

I went and watched Criminal Minds for a few after watching Wade get royally screwed by Boston (and his own crappy team).

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2024 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
