Our defense can't stop their offense. Our offense can't score more than 3 points without help from the other coach. I'm pretty sure that sounds like another blowout incoming.

Oh great, another guy that struggles to rush the passer. That should fix everything.

The Bills oline were bear hugging our dline on every sweep run to the left side. They were so successful at it that they just kept doing it all game no matter which side they ran to. Our dline just allowed them to do it.

All Tepper has to do is remove himself from the decision making process and he could get anyone to work for him.

Nah, if Young is the starter the line will drop to 7.5 just to get folks to bet on the Panthers.

TMac isn't out running guys in the nfl like he did in college. He's going to have to fight for yards in the nfl.

Last Sunday the Bills came to town and took the Panthers manhood. McDermott made Canales his bitch.

More qbs are taken in rounds 1 and 2 and the success rate will be higher as the supposed top guys are gone before round 3. That is always a given. After round 2 it's just pure luck to find a long term starter. That has always been the case. Im not sure you will find anything new there.

It changes nothing but a worse experience and let's the rest of the team know that you've thrown in the towel and winning is not your priority, it's only to appease the fans.

I think I understand what you are trying to accomplish. Im thinking that a breakdown of all past drafted qb's with their college production and draft position vs actual nfl success is what you're looking for. But im thinking that the draft position really doesn't predict future success and that college prediction will have more of an impact regardless of draft position. At least that's how I understand the objective. If that's not where you're going with this then forgive my interruption on this topic.

When they put Horn on the field I already know the play. Its so predictable that Canales should be fired for that alone.

The former manager in me wants to think that Canales was allowing Chubba the opportunity to show he is still the lead back when he recovered before making the switch. But I cannot give him that leeway as he's shown too many times he doesn't think that way.

The only reason im still here is because those other outlets are just garbage. They're more for younger more gullible people that can be influenced into thinking that whatever they're pitching is truth. I avoid them like a social disease.

Another ugly loss incoming.

Changing the turd at the top of the pile does not make it less of a pile of crap. It can and will get worse. It would also cost Canales his job for doing such a moronic thing this early in the season. When they are out of the playoff hunt then maybe he can play around with the roster. Doing it now means you are throwing in the towel on the season.

You are talking about the cost of the pick itself. I just don't see that has any bearing on the value of the player. What was offered for Burns was what he was worth to the Rams at the time. It did not mean he was actually worth what was offered. Scott Fitterer set his value to the Panthers as more than that. Did he somehow become a better player because of that alone? No, he was/is the same player.

If Mendoza is sitting then when the Panthers are on the clock they better not hesitate to take him. He can play football.

Why would you lower your standards? If you all you want is a inferior qb that is already struggling in college just pick up an udfa. There's no reason to draft that type of qb in any round because there's hundreds of them. You are looking for someone overlooked by everyone on probably goes to a small school with little to know national coverage. Thats the type of guys you're looking at on day 3. Some drafts there isn't any so the numbers per round are not the same. An overwhelming majority of qbs are taken in the 1st round so the bust numbers should be higher or the time in the league will be longer. Teams will always give a 1st round pick more time to get it or will get more chances with other teams because of where he was picked alone. Im not sure how you factor that in.

I know that it's a long held assumption by fans and teams but to me that's been proven to not be the case. It's more about evaluation or more specifically whose doing the evaluation in my estimation. Thats where overdraft and undrafted comes into play. That skews the data to where you aren't getting what you are really looking for.

I'm the only sane person on here. Its everyone else that is crazy.

I kinda think you need to keep the criteria the same regardless of round. I wouldn't settle for a worse TD:INT ratio just because I pick him on day 3. It the same with completion percentage. You need someone that at least has that going for them because it certainly isn't getting better against the big boys.

That makes two of us.

I guess I look at the draft a little differently than most. To draft position only means how many players were taken before your pick. It doesn't mean the player I selected was automatically worth being selected at that time to me or anyone else. It will not make him better than he is or will be just because I picked a day 2 player on day 1. Does that make any sense at all or do I need another toke and try again?

Well it is. I'm Satan's accountant.

Im sitting in the corner shouting out my unwanted opinions myself. Kung is going to get irritated with me soon. I'm going to go watch the game and reread his original post when I'm sober.
