OMGOMGOMG Jordan Gross said he wants us to pick...

so we've got Lafell - Peterson, Beason - Newton, and now Gross - Dareus?

Sounds like players are as split as the Huddle - and hell, as split as all the experts.

I do think it is kind of funny though, that all three want players at their respective, competing positions.

I have got to get into Hugger mode here and pull a reverse Scot. :)

Ahem. Of course an O-lineman isn't going to say he wants a QB even if he really does want him. It would be awkward if he was like "Hell yeah we need a QB!" And then we picked PP. Then he would have to jump through hoops with the press. To prove to Gantt that Clausen was his guy all along and to prove to Clausen he has his back.

Okay back to reality.

He was probably just being honest and Dareus would be a great fit.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
