Really, they did. Have any of you?

The interwebz is such an easy place to throw out your two-penny opinions with NO REPROCUSSIONS. Sure, if you believe you are smarter or know more about 1) the health and structure of our team and 2) individual workouts, interviews and vast game tape of players in the this draft than the guys working and making decisions... well I don't even really know how to respond to that other than calling you a fool. That is all. A+ first round pick for our Carolina Panthers.

I agree that no one here knows enough to pretend that they know more than the FO but a lot of people called the Jarrett pick an A+ and there's no doubt that the staff did their due diligence before picking him. It looks like a great pick now but they aren't perfect and it could end up being a terrible pick when it's all said and done.

The debate isn't (for the most part) whether Kuechly is a great prospect or not. The debate is whether we should have gone for another position given our needs and current roster.

It's like me coming home to my wife with a sack of organic high quality potatoes that are potentially the best potatoes ever eaten by a person, and she responds with "well we've already got some two sacks of potatoes right here, and I sent you to store to buy butter jackass!"

People that are upset don't care how good a potato Kuechly is. They wanted some damn butter.

Really good potatoes and really good butter are even better together.

I understand people getting upset that we didn't pick a player that they wanted. But that is their opinion. They might as well ask your best friend what is best for your wife. He doesn't have any idea. Hell, his answer might not be favorable to you.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
