Apparently, it is SUPER rare for a team to draft a QB in the top 50 picks in back to back years. We're only the third team to do it since 1970... That being said, you would think that would be a bad omen right?

WRONG... Look at the other two teams that did it and the QBs they took. I look forward to getting similar results from Cam.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Panthers became only the third team since 1970 to take quarterbacks in the first 50 picks in consecutive drafts.

The others were in 1982 and '83. The Bills drafted Matt Kofler 48th overall in '82, then took Jim Kelly 14th the following year.

Baltimore took Art Schlichter at No. 4 in '82 before snagging John Elway first in '83.

Kelly played in the USFL before going to Buffalo three years later. Elway never played for Baltimore.

so we have the chance to not win a super bowl ever or wait 15 years and then win back to back super bowls?

shit...

I'll take it, lol. They were consistent winners and gave their teams a chance every year. May have taken awhile, but that's the way the ball bounced. Better than going 12-5 one year and 7-9 the next consistently.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
