yeah i rather have a 1st round talent too but i think this is the best panthers will pick up due to o/dline/backs needs.

if panthers had a competent GM they could have been found a lower round WR that could make an impact like ty hilton, cecil shorts, emanuel sanders,eric decker, mike williams, jimmy graham, antonio brown, and mike wallace.

lol at the steelers drafting ALL their WR in LATE rounds. sanders was 3rd,,,,,WALLACE was a 4th......brown was a 6th....panthers need that kind of GM. lol

currently half of the panther fans would kill themselves for wallace, who is probably the most sought after wr free agent, this year.

what im trying to say is its all about scouting talent correctly to know which will translate to the next level and the ones who will not.

King is a good player, has the potential to be a team's #1. He's fast, can get open, etc. It's going to take him a while to adjust to the NFL game.

He compares heavily to a very raw, unpolished Davone Bess. If he's there in the 4th round, there's not going to be a better option.

Eventually I want the Panthers to draft a 6'4" jump ball receiver with good body control and hands. To me that fits Cam's skillset the best. That gives us the threat of the pass in the redzone. If you're gonna be short you better be a late round pick beast which this guy could be. Speed is great, the NFL is built on speed. But you need a guy that will work on everything, hands, body control, routes, Steve wasn't great because he was explosive. Steve was great because he took everything to the next level. He became physical, worked on his hands, adjustments in the air, and blocking. It's not easy to draft a Steve Smith. Lot's of guys are fast but do they want to get physical the way Steve did?

You just described Hunter.

oh yeah no doubt. ive said before that newton needed a big target. but unless you go after a wr in 1st or 2nd round you wont be getting a tall guy like that.

the only thing they could get like that is tight end in later rounds..which would not be all bad since newton did decent with those two UM te's.

    • The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.
    • I appreciate the measured tone, truly. Hopefully we're at a point where we can dive a little deeper into the discussion. The observation about his footwork is fair in theory, but I'd also counter with 6'1" Brock Purdy recently admitting that he can't see his target on 40% of his throws due to the linemen in front of him. He just inked a massive deal, and while a lot of fans are understandably wondering what he's going to do with reduced weapons, "not seeing over the line" just doesn't seem to be that big of a disqualifier with his understanding of timing, leverage, and pre-snap reads (Aaron Rodgers is 6'2"... bet he's dealt with the same). Bryce is likely dealing with similar challenges due to his size, but it clearly doesn't mean it can't be managed at a high level. Also, I'm not convinced that "prototypical footwork" should be the end goal for a QB that isn't built like the prototype. What matters more is timing and rhythm with his receivers... which, as we've both noted, has been evolving as the WR room flips from vet stopgaps to rookies. He will need to improve there. That's not in dispute. What is in dispute is the impact that footwork is having on his ability to process and execute. The earlier suggestion that he's “hopping around” to see the field implies a frantic or panicked visual search, which just isn’t something we’ve seen reflected in either the film or any reliable breakdown. If it were as exaggerated as described, it would’ve become a meme-worthy moment (or at least been on SportsCenter's Not Top 10). Instead, we've seen a QB who, like many young passers, occasionally loses platform stability under pressure. That is something that's common and correctable, and again, not something that shows up with enough frequency to suggest it's an endemic flaw. It’s worth continuing to track, but to argue it's a defining issue requires stronger proof than anecdote. As for the "investments" made in the offense after drafting Bryce, I think that might be stretched a bit. Yes, we've used back-to-back firsts on WRs and signed guards to big contracts. But beyond that? Mingo (2nd) and Diontae (FA) are gone. Zavala (4th) was the worst-rated OL in the league his rookie year Sanders (4th) and Evans (5th) are mid-round TEs. Tremble was given a small contract extension but is said here to be at best a blocking TE2. Jimmy Horn Jr (6th) and Coker (UDFA) are the other WR investments Corbett + BC got one-year deals coming off of injury Cade Mays was tendered, but he was cut to start last season That's not some overwhelming infusion of elite talent. It's better, sure... but acting like it's some embarrassment of riches feels overstated. Expecting instant chemistry and impact from rookies and second-year guys while simultaneously mocking the idea of contending this year also feels a little... off? So far, what I've heard as your criteria boils down to red zone efficiency and intermediate passing to the sidelines? You mentioned moving the ball inside the 20s... I'd recommend 3rd down conversion rate, big-time throws, and turnover-worthy plays. For red zone play specifically, we could look at turnovers inside the 20. Incompletions in the red zone as well as intermediate sideline incompletions could provide an interesting starting point for film study. Hell, any of these would give us a more objective framework to work from if you're open to using them. Do any of them work for you?
    • I honestly can't stand the knee jerk emotional fans on both sides be they critical or homers, very much a wait and see try to remain objective as long as possible type fan.
