LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! 

Isn't dude like 53 years old? 

He even says himself, he was going to VENEZUELA.  I am convinced I could play in Venezuela professionally right now.  He hasn't played in the NBA since 2013.  Wtf is going on?

Come on, Diddy. You do this with Gettleman and the wide receivers and the same answer applies here: there are no better options.

Also, he's a 15th man to fill in in an emergency situation at best. Our wing rotation is still our deepest position.

I know their reasoning, that doesn't make it sound.  There aren't any young players with more potential available whom could actually contribute of needed and/or set the tone in practice? 

That's my point.

Seriously we should just say fug it and trade Batum, Kemba, and Big Al. Let Frank, Lamb, PJ (meh), Cody (and whoever the fug else we have) get some playing time.

Thank god instead of Lance Stephenson we have Spencer Hawes. Thankfully instead of Bismack Biyombo we have Tyler Hansbrough. Who can forget that we have one year of Nic Batum instead of the long career of a talented 20 year old Noah Vonleh and Gerald Henderson. And of course, fortunately we have Frank Kaminsky instead of Justise Winslow. 

I don't know if it is Rich Cho or Michael Jordan or the basketball gods or David Stern. But this team could not possibly have been more poorly managed over the course of it's pathetic 11 years as a franchise. We have 2 winning seasons I think. We are 0-8 in the playoffs. I don't recall a time where we ever beat Lebron James. It's almost as if the Jaguars and Browns had a child, and the Kings and the Raiders had a child, and those two babies met and had a child and that child went on to have a baby with a 63 year old Vietnamese hooker and the child from that went on to become the Bobcats. We don't deserve to be called the Hornets yet, because the Hornets we came to know and love where actually good. 

Sigh...Rant over, I will go pack to pathetic basketball life of being a Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets fan.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring.

      I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
