How many scouts do the Panthers employ?

Just looking around the division, the Saints have 9, the Falcons have 8, and the Bucs have 8.  The Panthers are the only team that doesn't list it's scouts in the staff directory.

Some guy on the Titan's SBNation blog is posting about his days as a scout for the Saints and the Panthers, and I was curious to see who it might have been (and if he was another NJPanther type, which I suspect).

The scouts are not nearly as important as the guy who takes all the data and digests it.

 

Hurney and Gettleman could use the exact same scouts with totally different results.

 

But all of the talent evaluators become important when they're given a voice in the discussion. It's not like Gettleman locks himself in a room and doesn't come out until he's ordered the prospects on the draft board. I don't know how inclusive Hurney was in the decision making process but Gettleman and others have been clear about the openness of those discussions. Cam's stated that everyone on the team has the right to say something; that you don't have to be a leader to open your mouth in the locker room. Seems like the draft war room takes the same approach.

 

Scouts are definitely important. Even the best GM would make bad decisions if he's given bad information to work with from the jump.

True, and if our scouts were poor I am sure they would have been replaced.

 

What is more likely is that Hurney was being given good data, he just had zero clue what to do with it.

    • Push em to the brink!!! Shut em down Freddie!
    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
