Physical specimen

I believe my uncle, a longtime high school basketball coach in Mississippi, was the first person I ever heard utter the phrase "you can't coach height." What he meant was that no matter how well he prepared his players, they would likely still have a hard time against a team that was taller.

There is a lot of truth in that statement.

ONCE HE GETS ROLLING, HE EATS UP GROUND LIKE RICK ROSS ON SOME LEMON PEPPER WINGS.

Just a good read for those ready to jump from the ledge.

Im very excited. Ive been wanting a big body WR so bad, I wanted us to take Alshon so bad a couple years back. The Huddle has this strange obsession with small, slot WRs when the fact is, the NFL is getting bigger at WR and the smaller slot guys are a thing of the past. For those knocking KB's speed, hes a inch taller than Alshon Jeffery and ran a faster 40 time and Alshon is beasting in the NFL. We can basicially now run two TE sets almost with Olsen and Kelvin's size with Underwood on the outside as our speedster. Love the pick!

I don't hate the Benjamin pick. I'm a little worried he's too raw, but he's got a ton of upside and if Proehl and co. can coach him up he could be a monster for us. Just a little too boom/bust for my taste, but I'll take it. I can't say there was a clear cut better option available.

Thug product from a thug program.  Perfect fit for Gettledouche.  Anyone care to remember Everett Brown from the same shithole school?

 

Boldin and Belitnikoff are the only two WR's in their sordid history that they've put in the league worth a damn.

 

Bust with a capital B.  At least he won't have a crab stealing rapist throwing him the ball.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
