How many scouts do the Panthers employ?

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.

 

He nailed our first round picks well enough.  I think (hope) what's emerging about Gettleman is that he is going to be better at building depth on the roster.

Undeniably so. Gettleman's gone on record stating how good this scouting dept is. Given how directly their performance ties into his ability to do his job, if he felt otherwise he certainly would've had them replaced.

 

And when people talk about Hurney's draft record, it's pretty clear that he has a solid record in the first round. But to me, that's not the mark of a good GM. I want to know how he does in the other rounds. Your first rounder should be the easiest pick to make. But can you find value deeper in the draft? He was mediocre, at best, during the later rounds. I think Gettleman will prove over time to be superior in that regard.

I think Gettleman knows what he is doing with our scouts. I also think Gettleman puts a lot more time and research into his work then Hurney ever did. So if there's a bad evaluation of talent by the scouting dept. I'm sure he will right that. Even if our dept is a POS, it won't matter because I think Gettleman knows enough himself.

I remember hearing at one point that we had one of the smallest, if not the smallest scouting department staffs in the NFL. 

 

The Bengals had one.  Yes, one.

 

It's okay though.  Mike Brown finally decided to loosen the purse strings and double the size of the scouting department.

 

So now there's two :unsure:

I just finished making a pinewood derby car for my son. I mean I made it with him......not for him.

I always made 2.  One he could trash and play with and 1 he could race with.  He helped shape it once I cut it out on the bandsaw and did the painting and decals.  But I always did the axles and sanded the wheels while he applied graphite etc.  Knew one dad that had his own race course so he could fine tune it to fly.

They site 3 scouts, 3 scouting consultants along with a director on their website.

Looked it up.  Brown actually hired two scouts in May of 2012,  so I guess he tripled the team's full time scouting staff.

 

("scouting consultant" is a title that could mean a lot of things)

 

With that kind of extravagance, it's a wonder the team isn't bankrupt :unsure:

I'm actually gonna research these guys.

 

(not used to a Panthers offseason without needing to research something; I'm having withdrawal) :(

 

This might get you started a little, or not.  I think the guy's a lot like NJPanther, but he could be legit.

Be sure to read the comments part for supposed dirt on what our scouts were doing.  Personally, it sounds as if he might have been an assistant at best...

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
