Brooks on Panthers: "I know a lot of people that think their defense is a playoff-caliber defense. Luke Kuechly and them are playing well."

 

Brooks on Panthers: "Their offense is at it's best when they can run the ball early and Cam Newton can use play-action to throw down field."

 

Brooks says the Panthers defense has been really good and this season it's almost been like "what can the offense do to help them out some".

 

Brooks says this weekend for St. Louis is a "big game" for the Panthers' playoff chances and head coach Ron Rivera.

 

Brooks: "I think the perception of Cam in Charlotte is skewed...He is still young enough to develop into an elite quarterback."

 

Brooks asks if the Panthers have done all they can to get the best out of Cam. He says they haven't, he says Panthers need more talent on O.

 

Brooks on Cam Newton and critics saying we should look to replace him: "There's not a lot of guys out there that are as talented as him."

 

Brooks picks the Panthers over the Rams this weekend because the Panthers defense is "just a little bit tougher".

 

Brooks: "We talk about Cam Newton but it's like we're giving Sam Bradford a hall pass. He hasn't done anything to think he's a franchise QB"

It was agreat interview and he is a definite must follow on Teitter.

He has a good podcast as well. I think Bucky Brooks will be a regular from here on out.

I hope his speculation about a possible faction that only sees QB as a traditional pocket passer position to be wrong...but I feel it is not.

also some comments about eric ebron (thought it was interesting considering the thread from last night).

 

Brooks on Eric Ebron: "He's one of the most athletic TEs in college football today." Compares him to Jimmy Graham.

 

Brooks on Eric Ebron: "He finally had that breakout game we were all waiting for, now it's whether or not he can sustain it."

 

Brooks on Eric Ebron: "If he keeps this up, he's got star written all over him at the next level."

Saying anyone is on par with Bradford is like the same thing as saying he sucks.

 

I mean a guy that's had less weapons than Cam and a shittier O-line...

 

I'd take Cam over him in a heartbeat but don't poo on the guy. He's no Blaine Gabbert.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
