I also thought this was a solid signing but nice to see a pivot quickly rather than our usual hubris of "well we are smarter" and a double down.

I still believe Dan is an average or above average pro personnel guy. I just wish he had any clue in the draft.

I think picks 3-5 were on point--nothing spectacular, but solid.  But XL was the WR I was hoping we would not pick--to me, he was the fool's gold--and I would never have drafted a Rb with the second round pick--we had other more pressing needs.

It looked too much like a Fitterer draft. 

Didn't terribly care for Wallace but he looks like there could be something there. 

At the end of the day, you can't hope to make your hay in the draft on rounds 3-5 and whiff in the first and second.

I hope he does way better this year.

Great observation. Previous GMs could have improved their draft results by just opening up the huddle. It’s sad.

It is sad. I have people chimping out over the suggestion that Huddle consensus has been better than our franchise at draft evaluations but, quite frankly, it has been.

It's not just sad, it's maddening. How is this possible??

My Picks McConkey in 1 and Frazier in 2 but hey I'm a drunk arm chair QB. Let those professionals lead the way (the average Huddler)

I think the experts overthink it at times.  I am also not sure they measure things that matter, and if you measure things that don't really matter, it can cause your board to fluctuate--you are creating bias using facts that are assumed to equate to performance.  Football is an emotional game, and if I were a GM, I would measure emotional intelligence.  I would measure (if this can be measured) the speed of conversion from a concept (technical/mechanics) to muscle memory.  I would watch film and time how long it takes a qb to get to their second and third reads--how long does it take an ILB to make the first step and how often do they false step.  How often does a WR bobble a pass vs. clean catches? Examples, but there has to be something we are not measuring that would improve our success rates in drafts.

I think a lot of it is also just excessive confidence in the ability to develop a player into what they believe they CAN be rather than what they are.

I have experienced this ample amounts of time in the working world. You see people with tantalizing abilities but they don't have great desire to achieve their potential and so they don't. I have been fooled by this many times by seeing the potential rather than what they were and thought too highly of my ability to mold them into a better worker/employee/etc. It doesn't matter if you have an exact read on someone's motivating factors and basic psychological profile if they just don't have the motivation to excel. 

Which, switching back to NFL scouting it's a fine line because you might find the smartest and most motivated person in the sport but if their physical abilities are just too far from being capable of excelling in the environment, there is nothing that can be done.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.

      Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
