So, we ignore offensive line depth and running back depth (a place where a good portion of our injuries occur). We add 3 cornerbacks to the roster. Bradberry looking like a huge reach. Worley was a good pick. Then we add Sanchez who apparently got burnt quite a bit in college. We added a DT (not hating it after time). Tell me again what killed us in the SB? Stewart going down and our offensive line having no answer for Miller at all. I usually am 100 percent behind Gettleman and I still trust him but this draft is a huge gamble. If it does not pay off it may actually set us back some. Here's to hoping offensive line and our running back stay healthy. Also, hoping our tight end stays healthy.

Sanchez only got burnt when he had to flip his hips and run with the bigger, faster receivers. That won't happen here. Rivera wants the CBs to face the ball and attack 80% of the time. And when you have ball skills like Sanchez has, he is a great fit for a zone scheme.

Again let us hope you are right. Also, ignoring offensive depth could easily turn into a big mistake. We could of signed cornerbacks left in free agency not much talented depth left at O-Line, RB, or TE. We even tried to sign a TE knowing it was a need to have a better back up.

I don't think I can look at it as ignoring other positions so much as finding value and fits too good to pass up. Gettleman wouldn't draft 3 corners in a row out of panic. One? Sure. But not 3. He saw value and potential for the defense we run.

Anyone who question GM is an idiot lol I agree I would have liked a pick for backup OL or TE. Also Oher contract is up we might have to look for another LT soon.

We can agree to disagree. Depth on the offensive side is a huge need at multiple positions.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
