...are fed up of this board?

The general stupidity of the majority of posters is through the roof, with even the usually fairly reasonable ones lowering themselves to counter the idiots.

There isn't one insightful or well thought out thread (including this one) out there and the ones that have promise are quickly replaced.

I did a count earlier and there were 8 threads on the first page about Cam Newton. Ridiculous.

Half the board has been declared as haters or racists, simply because they don't like Cam Newton. The media is racist because they 'hate' Newton, despite claiming he is a one of a kind specimen.

I was drawing up some threads on our hidden gems and unsung heroes from this season, but since all this crap started I really don't see the point. Anything worthwhile posting will be forgotten and buried inside 20 minutes as a 50 page personal feud plays itself out.

Everyone just needs to step away from Cam fricken Newton, on both sides. Let the process play itself out and start talking about other things. At the moment it's just two sides trying to prove who is the bigger idiot.

Oh, by the way. If you are this emotionally invested in one player, positively or negatively, you have lost sight of this process. We have no control over the player who is picked, however getting this worked up about it is only going to cause some people to be very disappointed in our FO with their first major decision.

Let's just talk about something different mmmmkay?

In all honesty this board has gone to trash lately.

I've contributed to the mindless debates but will not any longer. I used to love coming here and now don't really like it that much.

Hope we return to form soon

Bingo.

There are some long time posters here, that have suddenly started directing some genuine hate and aggression at each other over a 21 year old guy, who may or may not be our first ever #1 pick.

It's no surprise that the board is dominated by a load of guys who I have not seen before, whereas the regulars have done the sensible thing and stayed well away.

well lets see, since the draft is the only thing a team can do right now in this lockout offseason. What is it you suggest we talk about?

How about one of the other hundreds of potential recruits out there?

How about looking for slivers of hope from some of our emerging players from last year?

How about talking about positions for later rounds?

How about focusing on what is going to happen to our 'depth' at positions such as LB if the RFAs are made FAs because of the CBA?

The nuances of Rivera's defences and how they fit us or the offensive system of Chud?

That Richardson is apparently cheap, yet isn't auctioning the #1 pick to the lowest bidder like the Dolphins did?

Or how about rather than just declaring either side are haters or supporters, actually reason with each other. Both make valid points, yet both refuse to see the others point of view.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
