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.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By frankw · Posted

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
