Coaching or Recruiting Issue???

Recommended Posts

Do the recruiters know how to identify talent?  Coaches need to play some of the guys on the bench who may be hungry to play the game of football.  When you do the same thing over and over you get the same results.  Give the rookies a chance.  The only thing we have to lose- Is another game. Right?  Keep Pounding!!!

I think the issue is using analytics to draft ATHLETES rather than old school scouts choosing the best FOOTBALL players. 

Except at QB where they did the exact opposite and drafted a guy with none of the athletic measurables but just assumed he could translate his college production because super processor PG mentality, nevermind the reality that he'll no longer enjoy his team having a massive talent advantage over nearly every opponent.

I don't know that we are really even drafting athletes.  We are if you only look at 2/3rds of the standard athletic profile.  Size?  Check.  Long distance straight line speed?  Check.  Any sort of quickness or change of direction metrics?  Throw it out.  We only draft guys who dont test for those.  Weight and 40 time is plenty.

    • Also just for comparison sake. Here's what the Panthers spent on the OL for 2015 the year Cam Newton nearly went undefeated with Ted Ginn Jr as his #1 WR. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2015/table/active/sort/cap_total

    • Why would we want Ladd ? Without XL we wouldn't have: a) raccoon sandwiches b) A stunning physical specimen that can't catch . . . or think (thrown out of preseason game for fighting, run out of bounds while looking for camera instead of sideline, misses assignments. c) World class personality whose performance appears to lag well behind his headlines. His size seems to be a plus but he quickly ate dirt after being bumped by one safety and thought he'd knock out another one until that guy put him on the ground after dodging his flurry of air boxing. McConkey is boring in comparison - no foods named after him - no videos to hear his accent- he's too busy catching balls and making plays to be a interesting character. Brooks was a risk as well as Wallace.  No matter who our GM is, we are always taking "surprise players", believing we know something others don't and it turns out the others knew something we didn't. We'd honestly be better off just making a list combining several draft boards and picking the highest rated player when our turn comes.
