Panthers to ink Quintin Mikell?

Recommended Posts

After the $$ and coaching/teammate situation, that is the stuff I would look at when making a decision if I were a free agent. If it comes down to everything being equal between the Panthers and say, the Packers. Who do you choose? A great home field advantage or a lame stadium that only rocks when the Steelers score a TD.

I feel like our home feild advantage is good when the team is good. Monday night 2008 was pretty great

Boooooooo :(

 

This is what drives me crazy about Person.  He is either answering this question based on knowledge he has from asking around or is answering your question based on absolutely nothing (which now seems to be what happened here).  If he took the time to ask around about Mikell and knew enough to form an opinion WHY NOT SHARE IT WITH THE FANS?!  Write a fugging blurb in the Observer or send out a 140 character tweet for gods sake (not a reply that no one else will ever know about).

And now he just tweeted:

 

 

#Panthers coach Ron Rivera says they have curiosity in free agent safety Quintin Mikell.

 

So basically he doesn't know poo.

 

sequence of events:

 

-gabeking tweets person about mikell

-person, having heard nothing about the guy, says "doesn't look like it"

-regardless, person's curiosity is piqued, so he googles "quintin mikell panthers"

-person reads the week+ old rumor that has been picked up by multiple national media outlets

-person logs in to his twitter account

i like how he answered the first tweet about mikell as if he was aware of the situation and knew that no progress had been made/things had gone south.

 

in reality he just wasn't aware of what is the most significant thing going on in pantherville during the abyssal void that is this part of the offseason.

 

because he was "on vacation"

    • Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.
    • Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.
    • I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
