Excited about draft day?

I am. I can not wait for all these Peppers threads to go away when he does not get traded. I can not believe the infatuation with one player.

What years draft were you most excited about going into it. I don't care about the out come. What draft had you excited? Mine was no doubt the 2002. After the 01 season I needed a boost of excitement. Picking #2 over all helped with that. I also liked the #2 pick in the second round because typically there is still first round talent.

Unlike in years past, this year I could really care less, for a combination of reasons.

The Peppers saga for one, and damn New England having 11 picks to sit up there all fat a pretty to make a move in any way they see fit just pisses me off.

As far as those saying they will be glad when the draft is over because it will put an end to the Peppers threads/saga........don't hold your breath on it.

Not yet! After the first 10 picks, I'm looking for Goodell to announce, "There has been a trade . . . the Panthers are now on the clock." With $16.8M more cap room I might add.

Make sure you buy yourself a quick pick for the lotto sometime before the ping pong balls drop if you feel that lucky Mr. Pappagiorgio. And since I gave you the advice, I want my cut.

It is not an "infatuation" with one player....it is that this one player is significantly impacting the Panthers ability to do anything during the FA period.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
