The theme of this thread is that anyone that thinks the Panthers gave up too much for AE is an App State hater and wants to see Armante struggle and eventually flame out.

I think it is fair to say that the criticism over this selection is aimed at the Panthers FO and not AE the player.

Assuming arguendo that what you are saying is true, you had SECOND HAND info that the Colts were going to take him with the 98th pick.

And I don't believe for a second what you wrote.

He should have been a 4th or 5th round pick. Nothing more.

And that statement is based on....your extreme ability to guage NFL talent?...your experience as an NFL scout?....Or, that crystal ball that you bought off e-bay?

YOU FAIL.

So you don't believe it? I guess that makes it a fact then. And I guess you had someone in the draft room for Indy also that can prove I am lying? That is what you just called me. I guess because you've been on here a while and I am new then you must be correct. I bow down to your omniscience.

As far as where he should have gone, I happen to agree with you. But shouda, woulda, or coulda doesn't make it so. He went where he went.

Did you just try to make him disprove what you said? It works the other way around.

He's the one who called me a liar. If I have to back up my statement then so does he.

My cousin will be down here in three weeks and we are going to the coast on a fishing trip. I will talk to him and if he says it's ok then I will release his name as my proof. He can get into trouble since that kind of info is not supposed to be told outside of the inner circle so I have to clear it with him. I messed up in stating his position but I was trying to make a point that there were several teams interested in AE before our next pick. I never thought he would go that high and was suprised when we took him where we did then my cuz told me what Indy's plans were and I thought the Panthers must have gotten wind of what was going on.

Does the "T" in your name stand for "Troll"?

Just because I'm new to this board means I'm a troll? I've been posting on other Panthers boards for several years now but only reading this one. Sorry to disappoint but not a troll. I am one of the original PSL holders so I've been a Panthers fan as long as anyone on here. I just don't spend my days on message boards. I had knee sugery a few weeks ago and had a little more time on the computer. That's all, nothing more.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
