I am surprised that he is so down for our draft but I guess it was no different when we picked Otah last year with next year's first...

And I find his argument that there is no immediate starter in this draft core weak, when 21 starting player of one team returns, it is obvious that a team will draft for depth...

Is that different for Patriots or there starting line-up is full of rookies....

And I don't think Fox and Hurney are so hopeless.....Last years run gives them at least 2 years more....

I see at least 2 glaring signs that point to this guy is a douche bag.

1. Stupid Statement

"The Carolina Panthers once again failed to live up to preseason expectations in 2008 and as a result many in the organization are feeling the heat."

Last year there were limited expectations for the panthers in the preseason. Not too many people thought we would go 12-4 and win the division.

2. Stupid Title

Scott Wright is the "President" of Scott Wright's Draft Countdown. Wreaks of insecurity.

Topping that list is head coach John Fox, who has just about used up all of the goodwill he generated by taking the franchise to its first Super Bowl back in 2003. That air of desperation was evident on Draft Day when the Panthers traded a future #1 pick for the second year in a row. Carolina clearly has some issues but they also have the talent to be considered legitimate contenders. Will this crop of rookies put the Panthers over the top or was this the swan song for their current regime?

Losing equates to fresh blood being regenerated... Naturally that's the case. But this opinion is baseless.

martin is 25..man by the time he gets adjusted to the NFL he will be almost 30..

He probably doesn't have that much wear on him though. Deangelo will be 27 next season which I find hard to believe but I think his football age is closer to 25 of so if you consider that he basically didn't play his first year, and maybe got 30% of the carries his 2nd year, and now he splits with J Stew. He beasted on only 273 carries.

Yeah, I couldn't get past that part either. Hell, everybody was picking the Saints to win the South last year anyway, so I would say that the Panthers actually exceeded most people's expectations.

The only relevent question after any draft is... did they make the team better? I believe the answer is yes. I'll worry about the next draft when it gets here.

yeah but dwill is a RB and jstew is very young and will take heat off him..but martin is a CB with a injury history and will be a 25 year old rookie

Yes, seems like he did not do his homework on the Panthers "failed to live up to preseason expectations in 2008" More like wildly exceeded the Preseason expectations after the weak 2007 season and starting quarterback coming off of Tommy John surgery. Pundits were very doubtful going into that San Diego game. Panthers won their division and a first round bye in the playoffs.

Here is his email address if anyone wants to question his thinking?

The Failed expectations is when I stopped reading. If your going to write an article on a sport, do your homework before you write the article. Unless you like looking like a dumb ass like this guy.

A late look at teams with a bias is simply that and nothing more. Why would you guys give it any more more credibility than that?

Didn't give it any credibility, just stated that he looked like a dumb ass and should have at least did his homework before he wrote the article. I really don't give any credibility to many articles anymore. Most are just hoopla or BS.

      Also, you don't really get good value by drafting a center in the first.

      First off, we haven't been ignoring the defense. We have drafted several defensive players, but, perhaps more importantly, we have added good pieces in free agency. Secondly, the offense was still kinda bad (27th or so depending where you look at). You can't just say we can't pick an offensive guy while acknowledging that the offense wasn't good. Everything is on the table. Like I said above, it seems kind of counterproductive to say that we shouldn't draft an offensive player high unless they're at certain positions. The offense was mediocre at best. Sure, we had an uncanny knack to win some close games at opportune times, but the offense wasn't really good. To me, it makes little sense to put limitations on who/what we should draft when we need an upgrade at so many positions. What you look at is trying to get the best value--bang for your buck so to speak--and that's the way it should be. D-Mo has used FA to set up the draft in order not to be pigeonholed into anything, and that's the way that it should be.

      Hubert has plenty of money. I don't hate the guy. I think he a legit good guy. This is Ron Rivera all over again for me. It's just very obvious a coaching change is needed and it audka we gottaboart ways with a good guy and I'd much rather it work out but the same issues appearing again and again year after year are clearly shouting what needs to happen. With that said, if we hire Todd Golden, that's it. I'm out. I'd greatly prefer to just keep getting disappointed by Hubert. I can at least stand to root for that.
