panther4life linked this site in the draft forum back in February, thought I'd collect the comments on the guys we took in one thread. I don't know what the site's credentials are, but everything I've read there so far I pretty much agree with except their opinion on Washington's trade up for RG3. I think the Market Value/Fiendish Value means where they think the player will be drafted and the value of where they should be picked based on future production. All the individual player write-ups were from before the draft.

Round 1: Luke Kuechly

Market Value: 1st, Fiendish Value: 1st

Beast!! Luke Kuechly's Core Strength isn't amazing, and he's not the fastest guy on the planet, but he boasts an absolutely mesmerizing fusion of Fluidity, outstanding Lateral Agility, tremendous Diagnostic Acuity, and utterly phenomenal Processing Speed.

I am confident that he's going to be a very effective Pass Defender ~ he commands sharp Verticity, too ~ and as a Run Defender he is a One Man Swarm.

Round 2: Amini Silatolu

Market Value: 2nd, Fiendish Value: 1st

Beast!! Amini Silatolu comes from a small School, and struggles with the raw Mechanics, as one would expect of him, particularly as he'll be kicking inside from O Tackle.

But his aggregate Skill Set is intensely intriguing: excellent Core Strength meets a truly intoxicating fusion of Fluidity, Lateral Agility, and Range.

There is true All Pro Potential, here. Sleeper!!

Round 4: Frank Alexander

No write-up.

Round 4: Joe Adams

Market Value: 3-4th, Fiendish Value: 2nd

Starter!! Joe Adams is a tiny Zoomer who displays the Release issues ~ getting out of the Blocks ~ that you would expect. And he plants too many FootBalls.

Even so, I like the kid. He brings a lot of Fluidity, and a lot of Verticity and Torsion out'f'is Breaks.

One is always going to be concerned about his durability, but he's pretty tough, and many his size are forging long, succesfull careers.

I seriously doubt that his Market Value isn't about to rocket up into the 2nd Round at the Combine, but for now, I would definitely call him a bargain: Sleeper!!

Round 5: Josh Norman

Market Value: 4-5th, Fiendish Value: 1-2nd

Stud Horse!! Josh Norman is pretty raw, but he offers outstanding Verticity, Fluidity and Core Strength, and his Processing Speed is very impressive, as well!!

There's genuine All Pro Potential, here. Sleeper!!

Round 6: Brad Nortman

No write-ups on Punters or Kickers

Round 7: DJ Campbell

Only 6 Safeties got write-ups, obviously Campbell wasn't one of them.

Comments on the Panthers draft class:

Carolina Panthers ~ A-!!

1 ~ MF Luke Kuechly, even at #11, was an excellent move.

2 ~ And OG Amini Silatolu, even at #40, was a great move.

3 ~ And CB Josh Norman at #143 was a Steal.

editors note: The site uses terminology like Mid Fielder for ILB and Split Ends for WRs and Flankers for OLBs. That's why Kuechly has MF beside his name, it doesn't mean Mother fuger.

      Can’t get over this

      By Newtcase · Posted

      It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.

      Shingles…

      By Lame Duck · Posted

      First day in 3 weeks my pain started to dwindle just a tiny bit.  Got switched from hydrocodone to post-shingles pain patches.  My insurance refused to pay for my patches as I’m too young for shingles per them.  I also need a prescription to get shingles shot and insurance also won’t pay for it even thought I just had shingles and in high risk to get it again.
