As of right now, I dont believe we have any player on the roster worth keeping. That's going toward Kemba as well. I dont see any player on this team owning this team as of yet. You can look at all 29 other teams and tell who the leader of the team is. A lot of fans are just being fans. They love their guys, i.e. Hendo for the last few years.

 

I still havent seen anything out of Kemba that make me think he's the long term, sure answer for this young team. I look at other young PGs and I see a Curry, Lillard, and the rookie Michael Carter-Williams. Most fans are "tagging" Kemba being the LEADER of this team. I love his heart, but when I watch this team I just dont see that. I believe that if we could ask Kemba if he feels this is his team, the answer would be "no". He hasn't own this team yet. A legitimate PG control and run the team. I havent seen that out of Kemba.

 

 

I am finding the love for Cody Zeller, but if he doesnt come out anytime soon showing me that he was worthy of being the no4 pick in the draft, I'm going to BLOW up. I guess Im just asking too much too soon. But, this team needs legitimate players right now. I'm not blaming Zeller, but more so at Cho/MJ. Hendo is so bad, just terrible. I hate to keep saying it, but I really feel that we should have replaced Hendo with Ben McLemore. Especially, when we knew we were going after Big Al and bringing back McRoberts.

They've played 3 games, dude. Chill out. I know along with others that you're one of those fans who is hard on Kemba and not forgiving at all. Also, please tell me who the leader of Phoenix, Toronto and Milwaukee's teams are, because I'm certain they're not as good of a leader as KW. 

 

The team is better than it was, but it's still a 25- to 35-win team, and when you're one of those teams, you're gonna have nights where you straight up suck. Doesn't mean everyone deserves to be cut.

wow, over react much?  Jefferson is a huge part of this team.  Him not playing right now makes an impact. Also not sure how you guys got it in your head that winning on the road was easy.  Its going to take time for the players to learn their new system and develop chemistry.

Even Miami and Chicago have 2 losses so lets give it 15-20 games before making an assessment. I believe the team is definitely better than last years with Jefferson playing. I do agree that these first round picks need to step up and show that they were worth those picks. Kemba has been good but not impressive and Zeller hasn't show much yet but we'll see. It's still early.

I'll keep saying it until he take it up a NOTCH.

 

This was exactly what you guys told me about Brandon LaFail and Gerald Henderson the last 3 years. What happend? I was right. I'm not saying Kemba is that poor of a player, but I dont believe he is the answer to be the PG who's going to carry this team to the next level. I'm a FAN but I'm also tired of rooting for mediocrity.

 

Phoenix: Eric Bledsoe

Toronto: Rudy Gay

Milwaukee may be the only other team with no leader along with Charlotte.

 

And as of right now, NO this team is not better than it was last year.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
