Cam Newton took the most hits as a QB

how to rebuild a franchise:

1. get a franchise quarterback

2. draft trenches

3. draft trenches

4. again? sure, why not: draft trenches

5. draft trenches

6. draft skill position players

I know we changed coaches, but I wouldn't really call us rebuilding. We just built off what we already have

Injuries effected our draft decisions

i'm on the chance warmack bandwagon now. he's the likely BPA where we'll be picking and he fills a need because we have no real plan at RG. if we would have been picking where lotulelei or joeckel would have been on the board it's no contest there but the stars seem to be aligning here regardless.

plus "warmack" is a beast of a football name.

While I grant some of the past threads referenced here were of the goofy variety, it is a legit criticism that Newton sometimes holds the ball too long. Mind you, he was looking better by season's end, but I think that'll still be a coaching point.

Which, when you think about it, is another reason to beef up the line.

I really want a receiver to be taken first, but I would be fine with us going o-line first; especially after seeing that stat that he's taken the most hits. Warmack would be a great pick, and the info about him going to high school with Cam is a good little tidbit.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
