Huddle Big Board


Stumpy

Recommended Posts

Here you have guys, the official Carolina Huddle big board... :leaving:

I was hoping to have more lists to use for this, but the "where do you rank" thread seems to be just about dead. Anyways after compiling everyone's top 10 lists in that thread, it seems the Huddle's "consensus" top 10 players in the draft are as follows...

1--Peterson

2--Green

3--Dareus

4--Miller

5--Fairley

6--Bowers

7--Newton

8--Quinn

9--Jones

10-Gabbert

And, in an attempt to take away in any irrational biases, (ie "nuthuggers"/"haters") if you take away everyone's #1 and #10 it looks like this...

1--Peterson

2--Green

3--Dareus

4--Miller

5--Fairley

6--Quinn

7--Bowers

8--Jones

9--Gabbert

10-Newton

Link

...take this for what you will.

Cool stuff. That's telling on how more chill the majority of posters are here. Its just the occasional loud ones that make you forget that most of us are pretty much open to all possibilities, consequentially liking the BPA: Patrick Peterson. Peace. :)

Seems odd that Newton is so low when so many of us here want him. I'd have expected him to be top-5 at least, if not top-3.

Everyone who had Newton in their top 5 had him at number one. I actually did another one where I looked at everyone's list as a weighted top 5 ballot a la Heisman voting. If you look at it that way, Newton comes in 5th in voting.

1--Peterson-164

2--Green----144

3--Miller------92

4--Dareus----86

5--Newton---50

6--Fairley----32

7--Quinn-----14

8--Jones-----12

9--Bowers----10

10-Harris-----4

11-Gabbert---0

1st=10, 2nd=8, 3rd=6, 4th=4, 5th=2

The first one listed looks reasonable to me, other than Bowers. Given the situation with his knee, he may end up falling far.

You know there's another way to look at this. Let's say you had a team made up of 21 average players. You can only add one.

Which one has the biggest impact?

Depends. If you add an average player than no impact is made.

Not really.

It is not that so many people want him....it is just that those that do are the loud mouths on the board....:sifone:

Because even the ones that want him, that aren't blind fanatics, admit he's not a top ten football player right now. Maybe in the future...but not now.

This thread is practically hugger free. People are making rational comments and not being attacked for their insolence. Freedom of speech and the ability to express logical, reasonable perspectives without scorn or ridicule from Cult Cam is nice.

    • Well if he comes back, he's signed through 2030 along with Dave Canales. They matched up Evero's contract with Canales.    January 2030 for both. 
    • I also look at his work there and match it up against the planned obsolescence that is part of the NFL as it sits now. Part of what creates parity here is that as a team ascends, the costs of its players go up, the position of its draft picks go down, it's great players age or get injured to often, their assistant coaches get poached for higher positions elsewhere. And even the best of managers can't hold that off forever.  Great managers can only play the shell game for so long, covering one hole in the team while another wears through, betting it all on a small cadre of veteran stars, sifting through the diamonds in the rough, hoping for something great. Sometimes they can do it smartly, sometimes they just break and give in to the wrong contract here or there in a desperate attempt to hang onto something. Sometimes the voodoo juju just runs out and they find themselves catching up to that can they've been kicking down the road and they end up in cap hell for a couple of seasons. And sometimes they're just the Jets. And the managers are also at the mercy of the whole coaching deal... great coaches eventually falter -- their schemes become old school, their locker rooms change. It just all wears out over time and that's good for the whole of the league.vReally, did we want the Patriots to have yet another decade of dominance?  
    • By just about every account he is extremely impressive in an interview setting. I don't think he would be getting so many interviews if it was just about ticking a box. I am not saying some aren't trying to hit that bird with a stone too but I think many of these teams do have real interest. One does wonder if his on field results have kept him from getting a few of these.
