Before yesterday, had there ever been a healthy but inactive first round rookie for the Panthers?

 

I can't think of one. The last two years first round picks barley see the field when healthy. Why? We know Shaq can play well. Vernon has shown flashes, why not give him more chances?

Could placing Butler on the inactive list be a shot at Gettleman by Rivera. Pointing out to him that he did not need a DT as much as, say, another TE like Hunter Henry?

Don't think Ron works that way, never know - maybe the kid was late to a meeting or something?

I'll ask another question .. If Greg caught that pass on 4th down did you honestly have faith in Gano to make the FG? 

No but I'd have a little bit of faith in Cam getting a TD after that. Still a lot of time when that happened. And it was 3rd down, the sack was on 4th.

I don't think so. Rivera is so locked into his veteran starters that he wouldn't pull Dickson in favor of Henry even if he had drafted him.

Honestly with all the other stuff from this season... having a huge cap surplus and not spending it, drafting 47 rookie CBs, moving Remmers to the left, Shula and RR doing the same poo over and over and hoping for different results... nothing surprises me.

 

Does anybody know WHY he was inactive?

If we had beat writers worth a damn they would ask the question instead of 500 questions about Luke's concussion

Oh god, I hope so.

I need Stoic Ron to take shots at and do whatever he possibly can to piss off his boss, Da Gahdfahda.

I NEEDZ IT.

      Joe Person: Andy Dalton will 'get another crack' as starting QB

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Rumors I've read, and just watching Young and the  play calling, seems to indicate that Canales does not believe in Young …at all ..maybe he was  told by  owner, gm, etc that the franchise is moving  on …Or maybe Canales sees the limited plays calls with young under  center i mean, it is all conjecture  …but let’s  face it…126 yards…what more is there to say…yes there were drops but all qbs have those  He needs to do really really well against KC and  even  if he does…might not be enough  i suspect they will either trade him before draft or will draft  a qb and have an open competition   If he stays, it might be as a backup

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      I would argue this has literally always been the case for almost the entire existence of the NFL. There are substantially more busts than hits, across all rounds. I would say also that there doesn't appear to be much evidence for college quarterbacks being less prepared than before. Certainly in some cases they are vastly underprepared but that has always been the case.  I would definitely make the argument that in every single major sport that athletes are VASTLY more experienced than 20, 30 and more years ago. A lot of that is due to earlier specialization in sport(versus just playing all the sports from K-12), DRAMATICALLY more reps and practice(travel ball, summer leagues, etc) and far greater access to specialized training(most high end players/prospects have specific trainers even before college). All of these things were not readily available decades ago. So the theoretical "10,000 reps" are being hit far, far sooner for most younger athletes. As for the argument for "gimmick offenses" being a problem. I mean....think about how prevalent things like the triple option were in the 70's, 80's and even 90's. Or just offenses in general that were absolutely extinct at the NFL level.  I think there are some general issues with certain positions and the development cycles in college but overall, the development in college has actually improved tremendously. The thing is, it's never going to improve enough to where you are just getting insanely high hit rates on prospects or large percentages of draft picks immediately playing like 8 year veterans. It will never really work like that.

      Yeah sure some teams are not gonna want to have to recruit a QB like its college BUT you got add in desperation. One team WILL fall in love and go after him. A HC or GM on the hot seat will look past deion and draft him.
