This seems like it should be obvious but what this season has taught me is First Principles. Simplicity. 

What really impressed me about both TMac and Coker is first and foremost, they catch the goddamn ball. And more importantly, they both make that look EASY. They catch the ball the way a dog snags a Frisbee. It's just natural. Everything else is secondary. I don't care about your 40 speed, your route running, your college stats. I want to see you pick the ball out of the air like an apple off a tree. 

XL can do a lot, he has the size, speed and physique. But I'm always so baffled how he can make a routine reception look like a circus catch. Catching doesn't seem natural to him. 

And it's the same story on the defense. I just want to see someone who can fuging TACKLE! We got so many guys leading with their shoulders. Looking to hit the truck stick. But then they just completely whiff. 

So that's what I'm hoping to see us focus on going forward. Follow the example of Coker and TMac and find guys who first and foremost are fundamentally sound. The rest will all fall into place. 

This is the golden rule of football. Stop looking for "athletes" and find ball players. If they can catch the ball every time it hits their hands or tackle everytime they get their hands on a guy, the guy is a football player. Doesn't matter whether he looks the part or not.

5th year option on XL lol. He might not get a 3rd year option to be on the roster. Coker we'll have to pay very soon 

I hope they do keep Coker. I would go ahead and lock him up on a 4 year deal after the season if I were GM.

Wish we had this same energy for the qb room

 

Yeah, a more productive QB may make certain WRs already considered busts more productive. I am just glad Bryce finally took a walk on the wild side and gave Coker a chance in the endzone.

Yeah tough talking the WR room but trotting out one of the worst QB rooms three years running is unbelievably lacking in self awareness.

Seems easy right draft receivers who know the route tree and can catch but we chose XL   I swear there are huddlers who could draft better

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
