Man look at the receivers taken ahead of him

8. David Terrell

9. Koren Robinson

15. Rod Gardner (remember when we brought him to be a #2 receiver??)

16. Santana Moss

25. Freddie Mitchell

30. Reggie Wayne

33. Quincy Morgan

36. Chad Johnson/Ochocinco

41. Robert Ferguson

52. Chris Chambers

Wayne and Ocho were great, Moss had a good career and Chambers wasn't bad, but the rest...yikes

" ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. had Moss ranked as the fifth-best receiver and Smith at No. 18." 

Why does Mel Kiper's evaluation not surprise me?

Mel and apparently 30 NFL GMs. Not having Steve Smith at the top of the board is not that egregious an error. The Panthers only had a 3rd round grade on him.

Great read. How Steve Smith became a Panther.

You never know how that chip on a shoulder will affect a player.  In Steve Smith case that chip put him in the Hall of Fame. (I'm betting first ballot)

What a great article.  I don't know how many times I have watch that video but still get excited watching it.  Probably the greatest moment in Carolina Panther history.

To be fair to the Panthers they took a HoF talent in the first round and an All-Pro talent in the second round.

Clearly they were feeling it that year.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
