My thing with the Panthers is we keep taking half measures in addressing our strikingly obvious suckitude. Fired Ron Rivera and kept Marty Hurney. Fired Matt Rhule and kept Scott Fitterer instead of cleaning house. Fired Fitterer and kept all the Scouts and promoted Dan Morgan. Now we've kicked the can with Evero. Honestly we should have gone with a clean slate at defensive coordinator. I think it was best for both parties. We'll see if the Panthers decision on that continues down the same path. But unfortunately there's one constant that remains from all that I just mentioned. The Tepper's.

I wanted Fitterer gone (whole GM/scouting) with Rhule. I was told I was wrong by so many and it set us back another 3-4 years.

The Venn Diagram of Huddlers who loved the DJ Johnson pick and Huddlers who want us to take Shemar Stewart at 8 is a circle.

Oh yeah we've got our share of homers and shoe shiners here no doubt. The nontoxic ones mean no harm though and in general I respect their resolve. There are others that are insufferable though.

Anywho there was a time when I tried to give our FO the benefit of the doubt on draft night but I'm way beyond that. If we make a solid pick and it's not a reach and is in the BPA mold I can begin to get on board and at least find something to be positive about. But so far Morgan's track record is iffy at best. If we start picking projects and reaching this place should be justifiably talking cold hard poo about the FO. We'll see.

I don't see OLB as number 1 need. We have Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.

If that's a huge need than so is QB.

I get that it might be a strategic need for the future but not immediate.

Wonnum and Clowney also. Still need another guy who can dependable rush the passer.

There were times last year Huddlers could have provided about as much pass rush as we were getting out there

I was talking about 2026. We need to draft at least one OLB and get them in our program so they can hit the ground running when Clowney/Wonnum’s contracts expire.

Lol. Make some noise? Dude has 0.5 sacks in his career and he’ll be turning 27 in October. At his pace, he’ll be 40 when he has his 4th NFL sack.

Yea, I didn’t say I expect it. Ha

But it would be nice.

Exactly, you don't need an instant starter there.

We need all LBs. I know we have some young guys but I haven’t seen a M/ILB on our team impress me at all yet. 
 

edit: Jewell was ok but he should be the worst guy in the group at his level, not the best.

Id love to take a true kick ass middle LB in the 2nd round.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
