What The Panthers Need To Succeed, among other things

Is the kind of stability and quality of Oline play the San Fransisco 49ers currently enjoy.

http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/matt-maiocco/boone-davis-provided-stability-right-side-o-line

Alex Boone, Anthony Davis, Johnathon Goodwin, Mile Iupati and Joe Staley.

What a draft for the 49ers in 2010 when their 1st round picks were Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati.

Where'd the 49ers get the extra 1st rounder?

Marty Hurney gave it to the 9ers so the Panthers could draft Everette Brown in the 2nd round year 2009.

The Panthers need to get draft day intelligent, they simply cant afford anymore of those kind of Franchise turning fug ups.

Dave Gettleman, please make OLine Job 1 in your quest as the Panthers new GM.

Wide Receiver and everything else will have to wait until later rounds, later drafts or later in Free Agency.

Dividends will be payed moving forward regardless of what Coaching staff is entrenched in BofA next year and beyond.

Panthers need a run stopping DT who can hopefully provide a little pressure on the QB, as well as a big-bodied WR with the potential to un-throne Smitty as our main wide-out---or one that at least plays big. I think that we could get by on some of the other positions, but it would be nice to add a piece or two to the O-line depending on what vets are here next year, which brings me to what we need most to get this done: cap space. An every-down legitimate safety would be nice, as well as a CB (which may end up being akin to a luxury pick with the development that our young corners showcased the latter part of last season. Lastly, we need our young coaching staff and players to gel, harden, and continue their positive progression---particularly Cam Newton.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
