Many of you think the Carolina Huddle is a place to attack other's opinions without fear of the bodily harm that would come to you if your words were delivered personally. This thread presents an interesting challenge.

See if you have the mental capacity to function with a few variables/conditions thrown in.

3 Rules

1. You must only comment on players who are not your first choice for the Panthers to draft;

2. You must only provide positive reasons the player would be good for the team without comments that can be construed as negative.

3. You may add to other posts but you may not attack or question them.

I think some of you will struggle with this. I will start.

DE DaQuan Bowers: Bowers would give the Panthers two DEs who can both shut down the run and pressure the passer. In a 4-3, the DE position is critical. Size, athleticism, and speed are critical and hard to find. Before, we had to play Brayton to stop the run and insert Brown/Hardy to stop the pass. The problem? They passed when Brayton was on the field or ran away from him; he had 16 tackles and no sacks in 15 games. They ran under Hardy and Brown. We cannot assume that Hardy and Brown will ever be more than situational pass rushers until they show us differently. Bowers is a 280 lb DE who led the NCAA in sacks. He can bull rush, swim, squeeze down the run and turn on a dime on the edge. DT is a huge need, but the draft is deep there. Free agents are available. Nobody is going to let an athletic DE like Bowers get away. Draft him first overall.

(I am a Green supporter, followed by Fairley. However, as I wrote, I started convincing myself Bowers would be a good pick. I had to open my mind. Yes. Open it by considering another perspective. It is what intellectuals do. )

Drafting Fairley or Newton would guarantee us picking first in 2012

Nice try. If I replied, "I knew I should have posted this before middle school let out for the day," that would be sarcastic and could be perceived as negative. So, I will not state that in response to your post or any others. Thank you for your contribution during the Power Rangers Power Hour.

Drafting Patrick Peterson would give us a Revis type corner that we can shut down half of the field with. He also excels in the return game and he would be a guy that would be a threat to take a punt or kick to the house at any moment. He's a big physical corner who's not afraid to jam a receiver at the LOS and he has the kind of confidence and swagger that a shut down corner needs. He also has shown he has a short memory in the few times he's been beat deep. When he gives up a play he turns around and makes one.....

And last year teams avoided Gamble, so I can only assume it would make life dificult for the stellar QBs in the NFC South.

Exactly, a starting CB duo of Peterson and Gamble with Munnerlyn as the nickel would be dangerous for opposing QBs. All three of those guys know how to get to the ball and make a play on it....

No one wants to play devil's advocate with you dumbsh*t

Socrates was a moron and so are you for thinking this was going to enlighten anyone

anyone? yes. Everyone? no. If you think Socrates was a moron, I suppose this won't help you. Aside from trying to derail this thread, is there a purpose here? If not, may I suggest another thread dedicated to assholes? Glad I could help.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight

      There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
