I'm sure they did, but when it comes time to REALLY look into players, Clausen wasn't in our mind and therefor didn't get the same amount of attention or the attention he should have if we thought we were going to take him.

Hurney fuked up, no two ways around it.

If they were that high on him with what they knew, Im not sure what they could find, if they that wouldve detered them from picking him up mid second round.

I agree it's been a bad pick. But I don't think due to lack of research.

You don't know whatt they would have found? Look at last year. That was all there for the viewing at Notre Dame. Everyone else saw it, we just didn't look.

He did nothing in Notre Dame in 2009 to give a strong indication he was a bust. And Im sure they looked at tape to get most of the info they had on him.

After watching tape and talking to people, they were still willing to trade up to the 33rd spot. I don't see what they couldve found out had they digged a little deeper that wouldve made them do a complete 360.

Well I can't prove it to you so I'll just say ok.

I can't prove it for sure either. Im just going off what ( I would hope) is standard procedure for GM and scouts.

There are just too many prospects to devote the necessary time to find out everything about them. The teams that needed QBs (and likely did more research on him because of that need and high pick) passed on him twice.

Fairly common belief after the draft was that Clausen's interview with Gruden hurt his stock.

Not sure I buy it, honestly. I think it may have just been that talking heads and draftniks thought way more of Clausen than the actual decision makers did.

False. Hurney didn't do research because he didn't think he'd be there when we picked. He had no idea about Clausen and every other team that did their research passed on him. When Clausen was dropping, Hurney googled him and the first thing that came up was Kiper's mock draft and Hurney jumped at him.

I think he's even quoted as saying such.

I wonder if Pitt researched Manning 2 in 2004?

Wonder if Tampa Bay did their research on Bowers this past year?

It's foolish to think that we didn't do our research on a huge position of need.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
