Not saying it's a reason. My reasons are that he's a dirty, immature, out of shape man-child who has bust practically stamped on his forehead. This is more a joke than anything.

immature, out of shape? Where did you get this from?

Have you even read any of his scouting reports? Imagine Julius Peppers, only not nearly as athletic and lazy. That's Fairley; he won't make it in the NFL. I just hope we aren't stupid enough to take a chance on him because DT is our "biggest need."

Our biggest need is to NOT miss on this 1st overall draft pick.

Some are worried about whether Fairley is a one-year wonder given the gigantic leap he took from 2009 to 2010. His reportedly questionable work ethic is reason for pause, as well, especially at a position that requires a nonstop motor. Also, while NFL coaches will surely appreciate his passion, Fairley's quick temper and penchant for undisciplined penalties will need to be reined in by whoever coaches him.

In 2010, Fairley worked hard in his first year as a full-time starter. But some question his effort on a play-to-play basis and his ability to stack and shed blocks. MTD readers don't seem to think he should be Carolina's choice with the first overall pick in the draft.

The biggest question mark about Fairley is his character, though. He has a propensity to take dumb penalties and has gained a reputation as a dirty player. With Roger Goodell dishing out fines like Rajon Rondo dishes out assists, Fairley will need to clean up his act on the field to avoid fines and possibly a suspension.

There are also some questions about his work ethic and if he is serious about being the no. 1 pick, he's going to need to show up to his pro day in great shape.

Unlike Newton, Fairley can step in next season and make an instant impact for whoever drafts him. His talents are undeniable. Whether or not he ends up making it in the league will come down to him. Fairley should be a Pro Bowler for the next decade if he works hard enough and doesn't get caught up with off-field issues.

There have been plenty of players as talented as Fairley failing in the NFL because of their lacking work ethic. If he takes the NFL for granted and thinks that he can just show up and dominate, his career will be a disappointment.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
