know his ass from a hole in the wall?

The haul of marquee players brought in will sparkle like shiny beads for the foreseeable future, but it doesn't change the fact that Carolina has made the conscious and controversial decision to take a year off and hope there's still a league when it gets back.

There's almost certainly not going to be one in 2011, when owners are expected to lock out the players and kill off an entire season

Carolina has been an active participant in recent drafts, trading away first-round picks of the future to make daring moves in pursuit of championships. The spend-free Panthers have been up against and over the league's salary cap for much of the past decade, but last season ended the window of opportunity for Fox. He will almost certainly not be with the team after the 2010 season

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
