I hear you, agree and found it surprising as well, but respectfully, what’s the difference? Bottom tier until proven otherwise but I hope the players see all this and prove the writers incorrect .
Great post. The fact that you/anybody can say this about a Panthers draft class and not immediately get torn apart by rabid posters is a good thing and gives me hope for the FO and team in general.
I think all of these guys are going to get meaningful snaps and contribute heavily.
This was pretty big also. Basically got a starting CB with our 7th rounder.
While the verdict is still out, my July hopium is overflowing.
I’m voting for Byron Bell. He technically wasn’t drafted but we got a lot of starts and playing time out of him so I guess if you go for value then he’d be on the list. Some would say a potted plant would have served the same purpose but not the guys fault. Should have never been in that position.
Good question and I don't have a good answer. If I had to guess it might have something to do with the Aw Shucks approach that people may feel as being more genuine.
None of this stuff is going to matter if XL cant catch the damn ball though.
I don't think there should be a difference and if there is a conflict, you have an implosion. The staff and organization are there to establish culture from the FO down. The players they bring in should personify that. The FO ideally has the vision and the players execute on that vision. What we see as fans should appear to be player led but it has to complement and be aligned with the organization.
Just my opinion and I may be missing the point of the topic so apologies if that is the case.
Chuba has an understated approach to the game and comes across like an excellent locker room guy. Glad we have gotten him some help with Rico and hope he can complement Chuba.
