For all those "We suck at drafting" people


Recommended Posts

The problem with our franchise and hopefully that will change with new ownership is that we depend on the draft to build our team. This is a problem when you ONLY MAYBE HIT A HOME RUN WITH YOUR #1 PICK. Not trade it away or build a team with later picks. This is why we should have traded our picks for players rather than later picks this year. This organization doesn't really every do free agency but we did this year for the first time since 2006. New England can judge talent and has a system in place plus has money for free agents. 

tldr; When you have 9 picks and only one works out even though it's the expected one however your team builds through the draft. Probably why we went five years without a playoff appearance and can't win back-to-back seasons.

Guess what if Tepper is the new owner that's what you get. Steelers do the same thing and never go after free agents. It will be no different so sorry to tell you don't get too excited.

Richardson wanted the Panthers modeled after Rooney and the Steelers. So literally nothing will probably change and we'll hang on to a lame duck coach for much longer than we should.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
