How did we get here

How did we get to the number one pick?

I believe our downward spiral started way back when Kris Jenkins called the team out by saying no one was playing with heart. The Panthers instead of helping the players just sent Kris out of town so that they didn’t have to hear it.

Then was the time to bring in new coaches or to do things to get players motivated, not send one of our best players out the door so you don’t hear all the whining.

The coaches lost the players that season (thats why Peppers wanted out so bad, he didnt believe he coaches could help him progress)

Of course Hurney had his hand in this:

Never drafting a QB to replace Delhomme as soon as he hurt the elbow.

Never drafting a DT to replace Kemo ... DT's can’t play forever

Giving up so much for Armanti, when he could have been picked up later (I am an Armanti fan, I was happy to see us get him)

I could go on and on about Hurney.

When do you think it all started toward the number 1 pick?

after Jenkins said Carolina had no heart.....I think the following season we won 12 games and considered by many to be the best team in the NFC heading into the playoffs.

We got here b/c of a tag team duo of a washed up Jake and a horrific Clausen being thrown out on a football field game after game as they mounted up loses almost single handedly.

Richardson tanked the season last year...he already admitted it.....he wanted to show the NFL that you don't have to pay top dollar for players and can use rookies and still win....he did this with the belief that the Panthers would be competitive and that he could say..."See dis! Ya downt havta signed dem hiii dolla playas ta win!".....it BLEW UP in his face.

I thought we already went over this?

I blame Fox keeping Delhomme in during the 09 season despite pick after pick after pick. Had Moore been brought when Jake started F'ing up one of two things would have happened. 1) Jake would have had time to sober up and his confidence wouldn't have continued to be shattered game after game, perhaps salvaging his career. 2) Matt would have done decent like he did the rest of that season and went into 2010 with full confidence on him as a starter boosting team and coach morale.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
