Heh. Wasn’t intended that way, just what I saw. That’s why I hate the “completion % = accuracy” rhetoric. There’s so many other factors that go into whether a ball is caught vs whether it was an accurate throw. 

Yup, you could say that about Arizona's QB too, T-Mac made a lot of catches that he had no business making because of poor throws.

I don't blame anyone at all for being pessimistic knowing this team. But this draft does definitely feel different in many ways. Some of this is legitimately down to just plain dumb luck too. We'll see.

I do believe Tepper let Morgan and Canales handle it.

I think we had a really good draft 😃

I have read different articles that rated the Panthers draft as A, B, and then D. The D was due to the fact that the first pick was not defense. Not much credit for the picks we made in the following rounds. I see people talking about how well the Falcons did. I disagree. They traded next years #1, and only have 6 picks next year. The fact that we got the players we did and still have all of next years picks is huge. One big thing is that we finally are through with the picks we gave for Bryce. I agree that we had a good draft, hopefully we will be proven correct.

I agree and I just read this article that gave us a B- I think they did good hopefully we will be proven correct I have a really good feeling about the upcoming season

 

Carolina Panthers

The Panthers made Tetairoa McMillan the first pure wide receiver taken at No. 8 overall, six spots after dual threat Travis Hunter came off the board. That was a bit early for McMillan, but not egregiously so. Carolina did reasonably well with the values of pass rusher Nic Scourton in the second round and running back Trevor Etienne and safety Lathan Ransom in the fourth round.

Grade: B-

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
