Squid Game

I would’ve been fine if we had trade down and got Brown. End of the day, the Brown pick was a reach and the weak class last year did play a part in why Rhule took him with the 7th pick. I’m more upset with Rhule’s bad decisions making than Brown. I’m still rooting for the kid.

I don’t have any evidence. I just know that if Hurney was given some sort of power, he would have. The man always go and get who he wants.

Vita Vea is wrecking his opponents each week. The guy is getting in the back field still being doubled. Brown? The kid disappeared after week 1 vs a bad Jets OL until finally showing up again last week. I wouldn’t be hating on Brown so much if he could be a force in stopping the run like Star. I understand that he’s still young and is only in his 2nd season but so far this isn’t what you want out of a former 7th overall pick.

Hurney would’ve traded up for Justin Herbert if he has any power or say last year in the draft. We all know that Hurney was obsessed with Herbert. We also know that last year’s draft was all on Rhule’s hands because he has constantly come out and talk about building a defense. Hurney was bad taking players outside the 1st round but his hits in the 1st rounds were the reason why we made two Super Bowl appearances.

And at Utah, Star was constantly wrecking havoc in the back field.

I never said it was all about just “sacks”. I said “pass rushing DT”. A penetrating interior DT which that’s not Derrick Brown’s game at all.

I rather roll with Sam Darnold again next season than journey man Tyrod who consistently get replaced by rookie QBs every year and a mediocre Minshew. Minshew Ryan Fitzmagic 2.0. Take a chance of Spencer Rattler.

You’re really trying to compare a Derrick Brown who’s in his 2nd year and was last year’s 7th overall pick to a bust in Vernon Butler and two old broken players in Poe and McCoy of 2019? McCoy and Poe were some of the best DTs in their 2nd season. Brown is just a faster Dexter Lawrence. If you want to see him have a good career, you’d have to draft a pass rushing DT to play next to him.

Panthers fans have really gone insane. No one is even trying to get a franchise Qb anymore. We sucked so bad under Tepper that fans are really settling for guys like Minshew and Tyrod.

And that was one of the worst defenses we ever had.

This isn’t the same Suh as the one in Detroit anymore for a long time.

Seen that Chinn get beat many times this season too.

How many sacks? Two, thru seven games. Only DTs like Aaron Donald, Warren Sapp, Ndamukong Suh, Leonard Williams, Fletcher Cox, Haloti Ngata, Chris Jones, Richard Seymour, John Randle and Gerald McCoy should go that high in the draft. And a couple of them didn’t even go that high. Derrick Brown isn’t Star Lotulelei or Vita Vea. Star and Vita have little sacks but they garner so much attention.

What does KK has to do it this? Wth

7 weeks ago?

We easily could’ve traded up with Detroit or especially NYG to get Herbert. Rhule was so confident in Teddy Bridgwater so he didn’t.

You don’t draft a “run stuffing” DT that isn’t capable of being a threat rushing the passer with the 7th overall pick.

That’s awesome.

That’s the stock market. Pump and dump.

That’s not true. Tom Brady recently spoke about it a couple days ago saying the NFL is making football soft. Light practices, no more hitting, etc are reasons why these players are getting hurt. Their bodies are not prepare for full contact on game day. Just like our little fan fest this year. Rhule had our players come out there pretty much in T-shirt and shorts.

Fire David Tepper. He’s the one that thinks football is the same as the stock market.

Go check out how well the Charlotte Hornets have done in the drafts since they got rid of that stupid “analytic genius” Rich Cho at GM for one who has the eye talent for good players. Rich Cho’s picks: Kemba, MKG**, Zeller**, Vonleh**, Kaminsky**, Monk** (**bust) Mitch Kupchak: Bridges, PJ, LaMelo, Bouknight/Kai (too early) David Tepper is such a stupid sport owner. When he finally realize that this is football and not the stock market where math/analytic doesn’t play a big part in, we’ll start winning.

That’ll never happen. There are only so many die hard Panthers fans. The rest are bang wagoners. They’ll only come to the games when the team is winning. The original Panthers fans are now old and want the stadium to be like a gold tournament atmosphere.

This is the best team we have seen in Charlotte since the rebirth. Miles is balling out of his mind. Melo and Gordon are playing really well. Oubre was such an underrated signing. Plumlee is night and day better than Cody Zeller except from the FT line. And we haven’t seen much at all from Terry and PJ. Our top two rookies haven’t sniff the court. I love having a GM/HC/Owner that has knowledge of the game instead of trying to use this “analytics” crap. This is the difference between Rich Cho and Kup. The difference between the Hornets and Panthers.

I don’t see us being a real contender to win the East just yet. But we are playing really well right now while Terry and PJ have been injured. Bouknight and Kai haven’t even seen the court. If we can make a move for a center, I can see us making a run like Atlanta last year.
