Ignore him Aggie. Dude is a lame and he's young as hell. Probably still lives with his parents. He hopped on Tebows bandwagon last year when the Panthers struggled so its nothing new to him. On the net he's a tough guy, in real life he holds his head down when he walks by you. Lol

why you gotta do me like dat doe?

I love how people whine when you aren't winning, yet they never recognize that you have to complete suck to obtain the top pick in the draft! I know it isn't GUARANTEED, but considering the Bobcats aren't getting anywhere with these draft-after-draft 6th and 8th picks, it's obviously that we need a #1 to take this franchise to another level.

It's just like the Panthers. Everybody complained about letting Peppers go and how crappy Jimmy Clausen and finishing 2-14 was. BUT if kept Peppers, maybe our defense wouldn't have slipped so much, maybe we wouldn't have gone 2-14. Had we won just three more games, maybe just two, no Cam Newton here. And Newton has completely turned around the Panthers.

I know the Bobcats suck but if you look past the schedule, we have some talent on this team. If we can get health, draft Anthony Davis, who I think is going to be a force from day one and somehow trade for or sign a veteran scorer, I think we will see a major turnaround. Even the Hornets managed a bunch of horrible seasons, allowing them to draft both Zo and LJ which completely changed the face of the franchise.

Another big thing the Hornets lack is that one guy "with heart". I immediately want to think of guys like Allen Iverson diving into the stands for balls or even Muggsy, just bringing it night after night. The Bobcats really lack that guy.

Gerald Wallace was our guy for that. We've yet to replace it. We thought TT would do it, but he's been a dissapointment. I agree we do need "energy" guys on the roster. I feel like we're tryna do what Memphis, Indiana, and OKC did. I remember when people were calling for Larry Bird's head in Indiana because the franchise SUCKED for years after the Pistons-Pacers brawl. But he stayed the course and kept drafting and trading for young talent, and now they're the #3 seed in the east. It takes patience and sucking to build a winner in the NBA.

      See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.

      Svech only 1 goal behind the guy they've pretty much already given the Conn Smythe to...
