Yeah, It's Another Cordarrelle Patterson Thread

Yeah, he needs to be developed, I know he only played one year, He has a lot of criticism, the criticism and doubt reminds me of the same criticism and doubt that surrounded Cam in 2010. I think we can fill the DT, OL, and other needs in the free agency and the rest of the draft. Our defense was developing very well last year, Cam needs a WR like this and the Panthers need it long term for when the day comes that Steve can't be Steve anymore.

playmakers and multi-threat players like him make the players around him better because defenses always have to be accounting for him. it would be like having a dual threat WR to go along with your dual threat QB. how could that be a bad thing?

and then add in that we'd have a legit return man....which we don't have.

and for the next few years he'd absolutely be doing returns. guys with his skill set you find as many ways to get the ball in his hands as possible.

the more I think about it, the more I'm on board with taking this guy in the first

yep. my discussions have been more just to talk about why he shouldn't be ruled out in the first or really just WR, tbh. i wasn't any more sold on him or WR than safety, DT, or OL, but the more I've looked at him, the more i like this idea. he'd be a huge pick up for us. i just don't see him lasting till 14 so none of it really matters, tho. just as long as we dont ignore WR again and pick one up in the first couple rounds or pick up a solid WR in FA (but I'd still us rather address OL and DT in FA).

my hope has been all along some combo of FS and WR in the first couple rounds. right now my favorite pick is patterson in the first.

I still want to get a young DT and Olinemen out of this deep class no matter what we do in FA.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
