and then following that up with highlight videos of each prospect

1.Luke Kuechly may have had the most impressive introductory press conference I have ever seen. Very impressed with this kid, carries himself like hes much older or mature than 90% of kids his age.

2. The Kuechly vs Miami highlight video is a must watch, his range is amazing and he is incredibly fast to breakdown where the balls headed and get to it. His Football I.Q, combined with his natural gifts really are impressive.

3. Hurney and Rivera seem very impressed with Silatolu and for good reason. The kid is an absoute bulldozer (against the division II competetion anyway) and I see no reason why his skills can not translate over well to the next level. Kind of reminds of Otah when hes playing pissed off and not being a fat lazy bastard. As Hurney/Rivera alluded to and his highlight vids show, hes got a motor to pull and block downfield. Should make our run game pretty scary again, like the year when Stewart/Williams got 1k each in the same season.

4.Josh Norman, may have been a huge steal. He has the size Hurney/Rivera coveted to go against the bigger receivers such as Julio Jones and Vincent Jackson in our division. Looks like an incredible ballhawk who has hands and times his jumps like a wide receiver. Talent is not the question with him, he certainly has it, I think he slipped as far as he did because of the level of competetion he went against and the unknown in regards to his ability to learn how to play in an NFL caliber D. If Steve Wilks(our new secondary coach) earns his money he may be able to prepare this kid to start this year.

5. Frank Alexander was discovered when we were looking at Jemell Fleming CB out of Oklahoma(who went 80 overall to AZ). They did not come out and say it directly but reading between the lines you can tell they were watching tape on him and kept noticing Alexander. I'm not confident he can come in and steal Hardy's job right out the gate but it would not surprise me either if he did. Thing that stood out most to me was his ability to go for the forced fumble and never gave up on any plays.

6.Joe Adams is one elusive son of a gun. I mean holy poo. Watching his highlights reminded me of that one game where steve smith broke like a million tackles and escaped from a sea of players and ran in for a td (against Houston?) Also most everyone saw he seems to be a crisp route runner and proved it at the senior bowl. Just not physically imposing or the most reliable hands.

7.Yay we have a punter not named Jason Baker

TL;DR version

Fug yea, Hurney and Rivera did a great job and played this draft very well and cool story bro!

lost credibility at 'fat, lazy bastard'

I understand your sentiments, as I never wanted to believe that myself until I met a member of the panthers medical staff and he more less said that was his biggest downfall(there's plenty of post where I wrongly defended him in the past against many on here who pretty much called him on it)

      Off Season topic: What Panthers question do you have that you know will never be answered?

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
