I don't care what they rank him, but what Dan has done for the fans is nothing short of amazing. Going from the biggest dumpster fire in all of sports with the worst owner and the worst roster to being relevant again, is amazing. Time will tell if he can take the team to the next level.
No team is stacked at every position. We have elite player(s) at every level of the defense and that's rare. (Brown, Phillips, Lloyd, Horn, Jackson, Moehrig). I think Scourton is going to break out this year.
Assuming everyone stays healthy, this defense should easily be top 10 and if not, some players need to be traded. Wallace and Scott are the only liabilities and Wallace has looked decent at times.
I think the QB position is over hyped these days and all of these record contracts don't seem to be working because they lose other good players. No idea why they'd consider a Bryce extension unless they can get him cheap and they think he can cut down on the turnovers and be a game manager.
I expect another LB to be picked up once cuts start happening. The way injuries have plagued that position, it seems smart to have plenty of depth. This team will go as far as the defense takes them because I don't expect our offense to start putting up 30 points a game.
I don't think Dan knows who he's picking and I fully expect him to go BPA regardless of the position. For it to be WR or TE, a stud would have to fall and it would have to be someone that the Panthers are in love with and I'd be shocked if this is Sadiq.
I disagree and let's not normalize poor personal decisions because lots of people don't make these trangressions and especially not with someone that you do business with when you work in the public eye.
A 1st round WR would be a head scratcher because Bryce should be feeding Tmac and Coker as much as possible. The only positive with XL is the fact that he seems fine with being the decoy receiver.
Dillon is an insurance policy if Brooks doesn't play well or can't stay healthy. Panthers don't seem ready to rely on Etienne for any meaningful touches yet.
Officiating in the NFL needs to be completley overhauled. The refs should work fulltime for the NFL and should be paid well so they don't need other jobs. College officiating is better than the NFL.
