Absolutely LOVED Smitty as a player. Who didn't? But Smitty the person, yeah... not so much. Unfortunately all those things that made us love him as a player had no off switch. He was basically the exact same person off the field that was on the field and that's obviously just not gonna work well in polite society.

In terms of absolutely sucking at personal interaction, Gettleman and Smitty are about equals. Well, I'd still give the slight edge to Gettleman in that he can hold it together and be friendly and witty conversationally but how they choose to handle tense situations proves they're both basically just assholes at their core.

Plotting out a draft plan to take specific positions by round sounds like some fever dream perfect poo storm of past Panthers GMs.

The bad news is that we have too many needs to address then all in the first three picks. The good news is that we shouldn't feel compelled to reach. There will be prospects at or near the top of our board that also fill a need throughout the draft.

We've always known he was an immature jerk. We could find excuses to look past it when he was performing heroics on the field.

Caldwell is a classic workout warrior. Hell, at least XL actually had one year of good college production. Caldwell has 478 receiving yards in his D1 career. And this was with the #2 ranked QB in this year's transfer portal. I doubt I'd even have him on my draft board.

Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

And hail Mary's

We'll see. Literally no one would've pegged Tom Brady as generational. Caleb Downs is the best safety prospect I've seen in... well, probably a generation.

I've been confused for awhile why this guy is being considered a mid-round pick by virtually everyone. His measurables with 17 sacks over the past two seasons (8.5 in each) usually puts you at least in 1st round considerations and pretty much a lock to go in the 2nd.

How did this guy do practically nothing in college? https://www.nfl.com/prospects/david-gusta/32004755-5341-3041-f9eb-f40816a84e1f He's having a pretty damn ridiculous combine. Most were projecting him as a UDFA but he might get himself drafted in the late rounds with this stellar combine.

I still have nightmares about Vernon Davis. They beat us in OT his last year of college in probably his best college game. It felt like watching Julio Jones in "that game". Like how in the fug is this big ass TE just streaking down the field wide ass open as if he's faster than all of our DBs??? Then came the Combine and it was like, oh... because he was indeed faster than all our DBs. LOL

This backup phone autocorrect is ass. Fixes literally zero typos but will occasionally fug up something typed correctly.

Bud Clark is testing really well. That's not good. His mid-round projection was largely based on people expecting him to test out as a mediocre NFL athlete.

This is the same guy who pretended that UNC's biggest issue is that a guy who played an entire half of basketball literally with a broken arm isn't tough enough and doesn't play hard enough. I'm not sure if he's a troll or just clueless but he's not to be taken seriously, that's for sure. LOL

Sums up what my response was gonna be. LOL

Yeah, at this point we have the answer on Bryce IMO. He needs TON of help to win games as an NFL QB. On a rookie contract, cool. You have the cap flexibility to pay for that help. But give a guy like that a franchise QB contract and you just tied a cap noose around your neck that he can't overcome unless you absolutely knock it out of the park every year in the draft.

Rico is 0%. I think we would really like to have Mays back but we have a value in mind and aren't willing to overspend. I think someone probably will so I think the odds are pretty low but not zero.

Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.

I appreciate the transparency but you're basically telling me you're forced to tailor your offense around your limitations at QB.

I was hoping one of he or Hill would be available at 51. I'm honestly not sure either will be.

I'm really rooting for Morgan. Loved him as a player and he just seems like a really good dude.

Coaching at Michigan seems like it requires a prerequisite of mistreating women. Good grief.

I wouldn't go that far simply because I think we need to sign a decent vet too. Sign a decent vet and draft three and you're standing a pretty good chance of cutting a draft pick.

Yeah, I was hoping to see significant improvement in Wallace this year. I'm pretty much always willing to give rookies a pass - especially a mid-rounder forced into a significant role put of the gate. Just show me some flashes and reason to hope there's something to build on. But when you still look like a week one rookie at the end of year two... ehhhhh... makes me wonder if there's anything there to continue to invest in. Going into year two in looking for more than flashes, I'm wanting to see some consistency and reliability and definitely by the end of year two. I just never saw it. He still looked like a rookie throughout.
