Inroducing Patrick Peterson, CB LSU


MHS831

Recommended Posts

Luck is out of the picture. Take a look at this consolation prize. (I hate to say this: If he comes out)

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5966027

222 lbs, runs a 4.45 40, 6'1" and the best cover corner in the draft.

Probably the BPA and he is at a need position. And he returns punts/kicks.

2010 SEC defensive player of the year.

2010 SEC Special teams player of the year.

Just curious what is the serious risk you speak of? The guy is a solid player.

The risk of getting him hurt.

Too much money would be invested in him for him to go out there and pull a hammy returning a kick, or worse.

The same reason Gamble stopped returning punts, the dude was too valuable to the team.

Fairley, Peterson, A.J. Green, etc. etc. etc. These guys are all really nice players but not someone that a team should use a number 1 pick on. They are more like 5-15 talent. Once Luck went back to school this really became a meaningless top pick.

Until we start getting some pressure on the QB it won't matter who our CB's are. When you play in the NFC South against QB's like Brees, Ryan and Freeman you have to attack them or they will attack us (Like they did this year). That is why I say we should draft Nick Fairley.

Yea i agree on that, I thought you had other worries. I don't think our coach would be that free with Peterson.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
