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)

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
