What about the other issues he mention?? And the fact he is on a risk reward segment should make you nervous as well.

Not really, every player in the draft is Risk vs Reward. All at the same rate as well, you just can't tell what's going to happen with a player. There's been plenty of sure things that have been bust in the NFL and just as many players who weren't expected to do anything becoming pro bowl players.

A player being named on a risk - reward segment doesn't bother me at all.

I'm not even saying he'd be the only guy I'd look at with the 14th pick, I just Like the combination of Size, speed, agility, vision and the high potential he has. He's like a taller Tavon Austin, just explosive after the catch or with the ball in his hands. He just hasn't had the playing time to polish his fundamentals like Austin has. He's got a higher upside though then Austin just because of his size and arm length.

If you note you'll see Mayock call Patterson the most explosive player in the draft, then mention Tavon Austin. It's pretty crazy that you can compare a 6-2, 217 pound WR to a 5-9, 175 pound WR on explosiveness and it be questionable on which one has more pop.

That's freakish athletic ability at Patterson's size.

Sometimes you've got to take chances to hit the lotto and the Panther's have been playing it safe the last decade. Last time they took a big gamble it payed off with Newton.

That Newton pick certainly looks good right now doesn't it?

Yeah I don't think Ron wants to gamble with his job or Gettle wants to gamble with his 1st pick in his 1st year as a GM in a 40 year career in football. Just saying a lot is riding for them to take that kind of gamble.

Allen is the safer and smarter pick if they go WR in the 1st round and there are 2nd round wr with pretty good upside as well.

How is Allen a safer bet? He might not be able to stay on the field. Rather take a raw prospect then a hurt one

If one thing I have learned from watching Cam is that having the best athlete on the field helps. Patterson is explosive with the ball in his hands. Not pretty good like Allen, explosive as in the Tavon Austin category. He played very well against the NFL B team (SEC). He is 6'2" which is good because our QB misses high. He is fast, which gives us a threat on the other side of the field to go to the house.

Also , first round picks don't cost what they used to. We aren't paying him a 40 mill contract at the 14th pick. Today's rookie scale allows you to be aggressive in your draft picks.

what?so a WR can not develop thru reps on the field or coaching?again im comparing the 2 because both where considered raw and could not help a team for years to come, but one has proven that while developing you can still contribute to a teams success.

Cam destroyed the SEC. Cam won a National Championship. He was a proven college player in "one" year. Cam and Pat are both "JUCO" players, but its not even close. What Cam did in one year at Auburn is 100x more than what Pat did last seaon at Tenn.

so did CP. Cam is great, but Cam was also the QB who touches the ball on every single play. CP has proved to be threat to score whenever the ball is in his hands and one of the only people to score in 4 different ways. so not only did he break the SEC all purpose yards, but he scored in 4 different ways vs the top competition in college football.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
