Great against the pass. He moves double teams backwards and puts constant pressure on QB. He reminds a lot of little bit leaner Fletcher Cox.

Terrible against the run. He puts so much effort on getting after QB that he creates massive holes for RB to run through. Terrible sideline to sideline speed. He will not chase anyone from behind.

He fits Carolina scheme perfectly. He will create massive holes for our LBs to blitz through. He will be a difference maker on passing downs.

I don't think Coples is top 10 pick. He's very raw. He make's many mental errors but he's very talented. He's 15-25 pick but not top 10. I trust Hurney tho.

Screw Hurney...I trust RIVERIA.....If he thinks Coples is worth the pick then dammit he worth the pick...Its no way he would let Hurney just pick what Defensive player he wanted to pick without his input....Riveria hasn't had 2 teams with #1 defenses for nothing

Do people not see what I see when watching tape on Coples? It's not the flashy highlights, it's how well a player handles the guy across from him, double teams and his presence forcing teams to run to the other side of the field. If Rivera believes in Coples enough to draft him then I already feel sorry for opposing offenses. Rivera knows his stuff better than anyone on this board and if I had to bet, Coples or Cox will be the pick.

My 2 Cents:

If it weren't for his sub-par senior season, which raised questions about his work ethic and desire, Coples would be a slam dunk. So the question is, was his performance the result of inherent personality traits or the circumstances at UNC? I believe that's what the front office is trying to figure out by visiting his home, and if they are convinced it has more to do with circumstance, they'll draft him.

I think investigating Cam taught the FO a lot about how to look for character in men and ignore the media speculation, so if they are comfortable, so am I.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
