its not new..but i never seen it..its interesting to note that the FO was going after him with that 59 pick..i rem seeing the pick and said "who is that" i thought we reached but turns out he was always the guy we were going to take at that spot..lol

i also rem hateing that we passed on sean smith but now i am glad we took him and cant wait to see him play.

“The guy from Carolina told me if he was still there, they’d get him,” Shaughnessy said. “That’s what I told my wife, ‘Wait on Carolina,’ and it popped up.

“They asked me how he compared to Leodis (McKelvin, the former Troy corner picked 11th overall in 2008). They said he moved way up their draft board. They

did what they said they were going to do.”

also a old note from the senior bowl..i never even saw this martin pick coming but i guess that was a good thing.

- Troy's Sherrod Martin is a great one. He's great in coverage and should be a corner, but he'll be great in a Cover-2 scheme.

Martin didn't exactly light it up at the Senior Bowl.

Defensive players other than defensive ends and stand out tackles rarely do. The week to adjust to a new position and start against and around guys you're not used to isn't conducive to a great performance. The entire thing is more engaged with how they participate in drills, one on ones and how hard they work more than the actual game.

Guess we'll have to wait and see, but I'm still questioning him over Shaun Smith.

I hate this pick. I wish we had gotten Smith instead. When Smith ends up becoming a pro-bowler and Martin is stuck at 3rd string 3 years from now Marty will realize his error.

I hope you stand behind these words when you eat crow. If he does what the Panthers think he can, will you come back and say you stand corrected?

i think the FO thinks he has more upside and fits into our scheme more...that and the past players that came from troy...but i still know a lot of people that hate we skipped over sean smith

I think it was prove to be a mistake. Not a knock on our guy but I think Smith will just be a better corner.....plus, I'm not a big fan of moving guys into new positions for their 1st year in the NFL. (ex. see Godfrey's play last year)

i understand but i think if that happens cjwilson will start just untill martin gets with it.

i think we also wanted martin for his speed something smith may lack in the NFL..

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
