I think you can drive yourself crazy (and waste allot of time in the process) trying to read between the lines of what they say in these interviews... when you step back most of it is pretty generic stuff that doesn't suggest anything in particular except they want to draft guys that can help us win.

We're just gonna have to wait until 4/28 to see what happens...

Exactly what I have been saying.

The people that really want Cam will read that into every statement.

The people who don't want Cam or Gabbert will read that into every statement.

Hurney/Rivera have said nothing about nothing.

rivera and hurney continue to say they have to draft the player who will have biggest impact on the team at their position...in less these 2 are idiots i would think that is a QB, not a DT or CB

Oh the irony....the sweet sweet irony

But you can certainly see the results when we do take a risk in the earlier rounds. I'm trying to think of one that worked out...

Otah, the skill and ability is there, no one could predict that he'd have bones made of glass and the slightest touch would shatter him. To a lesser extent I think of him as the Olines version of Dan Morgan. When he's healthy, he's an absolute beast, it's just hard keeping him healthy.

Brown is a solid rotation player.

Edwards is a mystery right now, we only saw him in a handful of plays. If a miracle happens and he does turn into Steve Smith v2.0 then he'd have been well worth the price, and then some. We have to see more of the kid before really judging him one way or the other.

no matter how they say it, the choices are obvious...

offense = cam newton

defense = marcell dareus

Rivera talks about Newton: "He loves him! We must be getting Cam!"

Rivera doesn't talk about Newton: "He's holding back! We must be getting Cam!"

Seriously guys :nonod:

Pot calling the kettle black. This goes both ways.

yeah, I'm still hoping all three work out. I think they have the potential if they work hard enough. however, Otah was the only one that made an impact his first year.

Yeah, we haven't taken any "risks" for a while in the draft

(Edwards), (Otah), (Brown)...

The draft is a game of risk, in varying degrees... Otah has been a good pick when healthy and it's still too early to give up on Brown or Edwards.

"Look at what your biggest need, do they fit that need, and do they fit the team need?"

Also, when Marty and Ron both talk about draft prospects, they always mention Patrick Peterson and Marcel Dareus specifically. Never Cam. Makes me think they are holding Cam under the radar, but who knows.

I'm excited about Ron as the new coach.

Thought RR's phrase is "the process"...lol

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Navy_football · Posted

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
