Rivera And Hurney Met With Coples' Family


UNCrules2187

Recommended Posts

2. Coples told me Panthers general manager Marty Hurney and coach Ron Rivera visited with him and members of his family for “a couple of hours” Monday in Chapel Hill.

“They came down to visit with me and my parents and got a chance to see my family and get familiar with where I came from,” Coples said. He added that it “would be great” to be drafted by Carolina and that in his mind the talk of his taking plays off is unwarranted.

Meeting with his family for a couple of hours? That's a lot of smokescreening...

must have been asking his parents why he took so many plays off

or maybe he wanted to get their opinion on why they thought their son was so unmotivated

i bet hurney showed Mrs. Coples proof of her son's slacking off using the youtube clips and his iPhone

they probably understand everything a little clearer now

It's OK Quinton. There's always a career in Life Insurance for lazy people.

nothing to see here

I can assure u that all this "taking plays off" bullshit is from people who haven't watched him in college and they are just repeating what crap mayock and mcshay say. Coples is gonna be a damn good nfl player and I expect him to make an impact immediately.

Coples moved inside and outside in a football program that was in total disarray and still did pretty well. Even our beloved Beason had an off year when he was moved around. If they are meeting his family and have dissected his tape and like him, then I am more than comfortable with him.

the truth about the stigma the media has created around Cope is that he can never be nearly as marketable as he will be if some of you morons don't hate him from the beginning.

it's very easy to manipulate the stupid people into thinking a guy has reached a higher plateau than anticipated when you pull the rug out from under him in the very beginning.

You're buying too much into media crap.

Absolutely!

Mcshay, kiper, and mayock should all be taken with a huge grain of salt. Mayock is much more credible than the other two but if these guys had any value assessing nfl players they would all have nfl jobs.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
