I think he needs to be the pick if everything about him checks out. I trust Rivera in his assessment of a guy's desire and if Coples checks out in this area then I think he needs to be the pick. Throughout the season the only two guys that got pressure on the QB for us were Hardy and CJ. If one of them went out (as we saw in the NO game with CJ out) we got ZERO pressure on the QB. Coples would fill two obvious needs in run stopping as well as help in the secondary as a great pass rush can make a bad secondary look good. I'm pretty sure he played DT at UNC for a year before moving to the outside so it wouldn't be a stretch to put him in there with Hardy and CJ on some downs to create more pressure. He is a monster at 6'6'' 285. So, if he's there at #8 then IMO he needs to be the pick...and I'm a State fan saying this.

If we add him then we add back to our defense Jon Beason, Ron Edwards, Quinton Coples, Thomas Davis (hopefully). That would be a COMPLETELY different defense from 2011.

That whole team was a mess, from the administration to the coaches and on down. Some of their players are much better than they looked on the field and will be fine NFL players.

Stop making excuse for Coples having no motor and pretty much being a waste of space. It didn't stop player like Redding and Zac brown from playing up to a standard.

Coples has Bust all over him. I would hate if he was the pick.

      How many games before they pull the plug for good

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I guarantee it makes a difference. Give up 2 scores and its basically over until garbage time. The offense can barely drive the length of the field in 3 quarters. The defense has been gutted to build around a QB that is possibly the biggest bust in NFL history. For what we've put into the offense the past 3 years, we should be dropping 30 bombs with regularity. The only 30s we get are FGs.

      WR drops

      Not according to some fly by night fantasy crusader!  There were 10 drops that should have netted Bryce another 450 yards and 7 TD’s

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      What? Am I mistaken that his rookie year included a horrible coaching staff and support players.   It's wasn't just Bryce.  I won't judge any player from that yeah.  It's impossible to make an accurate assessment on any player under those conditions. It's that simple. You break down each play and look at each player, what the expectation was, what happened during the play and what circumstances affected every player and position. There a reason why the narrative was he could be the biggest NFL bust in history.  Then after his benching he started to show remarkable improvement. Thus all the talk from fans and media about how dramatic of a turnaround it was and that Carolina no longer had a QB problem. First game this year the whole team stunk it up.  Why?  Plenty of blame to go around including Bryce. Improvements do not come it a nice straight line angling up.  I think Sunday was a step back for the whole team.  Still plenty of time to see if it was a bad outing to grow from or another indicator of issues that can't be overcome.
