I wonder if anyone has told Dave that he could just get a subscription to PFF for $120 a year?

It's how they drafted this year. Maybe see how it goes before jumping in more?

I don't mind going all-in, because people are already noticing a difference from just two practices (and that's without DB).

You saw our defense last year, right?

Hence why two light contact practices aren't going to get me too excited.

I don't know that anything would get you excited at this time of year.  It's a lot more fun to be optimistic, brother.

I have some optimism. There's a difference between being somewhat optimistic and wanting to jump head first into an all-PFF analytics department after two decent light contact practices.

Many National NFL types, like Brett Kollman, already lauded the Panthers draft and free agent acquisitions. Kollman also said that he had a "buddy in coaching" that observed the practices that said the players were "night and day" better, and other local reporters from Charlotte and The Triangle, who aren't afraid to be critical, have noted the change as well. Moreover, I've always appreciated PFF and its analytics. I've also said many times that there's a difference between PFF's business of grading of players (which all 32 NFL teams use to some extent) and team/player rankings on the Internet (basically for clicks). So, yeah, "2 light practices" or not, I think the PFF link to the Panthers is fully positive. So yeah, you may be laughing...until you're not.

Over the years PFF seem to have more hits than misses with thier prospect evaluations. And with our recent draft history im all for a change of philosophy
