HC and OC are wide receiver coaches. They'll get him to his potential. But we still need a speed receiver. We have to have the biggest lumbering WR corps in the league.

If only we had a 4.39 WR…oh wait.

Let’s be honest, at #8 no defender was going get our defense ranked more than 27 out of 32 in one year. In my opinion I rather see whether Bryce has the stuff, cause I don’t think we know yet. This way we get to see entering year 3, whether he has a future here.

Fair point. The problem with our D last year was primarily our D-line and we plugged that up in FA. Our defense still isn’t top 15 at this point, but none of the players available were going to make us top 15 next year (in 2 years probably). Draft has a lot of players left.

If you think tet doesn't have concerns then you are blind. NFL Dbs are a whole other breed. Big with hands don't make you great, the guy is gonna have to develop some serious toughness to survive in the league. Defenders will get in his grill and stay there and he better learn to start liking watching film or he will be outta here in a few years. 

This guy couldn't pretend to love football for possibly a difference in millions for his first payday.

Rockhead. Absolute rockhead.

The crashouts are worth it no matter how this lands. The Walker fanboys were  as annoying as the day 2 Darnell Washington fanboys a couple years ago.

If you haven't noticed the people crashing out over the last 7 years have been right.

This. And frankly, an improved offense can do a lot for a defense. When your team has confidence their offense can score on their stops, that makes me feel at least more motivated on defense.

If you think the problem with the defense last year was the offense, then I don't know what to tell you.

Historically, historically now, one of the worst defensive units of all-time. COME ON!

A big reason why we should be hoping for XL's continued development as his 4.39 speed is going to be important to taking the tops off of defenses. 

Straight line long speed is severely overrated.  Especially by the panthers front office.

I said months ago it would be Walker, Graham, or McMillan. OK with it.

 

I do like how nobody had a clue. Walker was a smokescreen but not for the person that seem to have been leaking it would be. Double smoke screen.

"People around the leage" had no idea what they were talking about.

      No more mistakes on draft day...

      By Jmac · Posted

      Panthers cannot afford to overlook the defense anymore in the draft. I wouldn't  invest a number number one pick on a QB again in this draft...always a roll of the dice. To many areas of dire need. Choose Dl, Edge or LB for our first round pick. Add another Oline player in the middle rounds. No more PROJECTS or INJURED players please. The QB situation is dicey. Will he ever emerge due to his limited physical abilities or not? They obviously need a plan B on the roster. I hate to say it, but maybe a veteran like Winston for Canales to work with would be an option short term. This season is going down the drain fast.

      I did not watch the game just the breakdowns. I haven’t watched any defensive stuff of us.    Obviously did not know that. But no designated Hail Mary thrower, Bryce remains alone at the ‘top’.

      So...Those 2 Point Conversions

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      If we were a top offense, I’d agree but we aren’t so our chance of getting 3 2 pointers is basically 0. There were two calls. Go for 2, which I understand but don’t agree based on our futility, and the actual play call, which was awful both times. Play action fake with a leak out and/or rollout to increase the number of opportunities like a QB run in or multiple targets. We, unfortunately, limited ourselves to one chance and after the first run was stuffed you’d think we wouldn’t do the same thing twice but we did and got the same result.
