Joey, you aren't getting it done. Maybe you can take this failure and turn into success with your next team.

Or maybe Joey's mom/dad/sibling. Definitely has to be related to be defending him at this point.

No facts I see

 

nice try though

Coulda drafted Trey Smith who's balling for the Chiefs

Can we honestly not do this again?

People cherry picking that ONE guy that we COULD have drafted instead of...

That's the nature of the Draft. You win some, you lose a lot.

Might be one of the worst 6th round draft picks in franchise history. 

Nah, we got a bunch of media exposure for that pick / phone call. 

He's already contributed more to the brand than Gaffney, Wilson, Williams, Pike et al.

We aren't a Division III college. We are an NFL team. A second of viral fame amongst a group of people(NFL fans) that have already known our team exists, is the most useless thing imaginable in terms of return on a pick. It didn't sell a jersey, a hat, a ticket, nothing. 

If he gets cut(which seems likely), he will have contributed much less than most or all of the 6th round picks we have made, simply because his position does so very little, even in practice. 

There is nothing dramatically impactful about whiffing on a 6th round pick. It's largely expected. It's the overwhelming level of stupidity associated with that decision that is irksome.

I've just listed 4 guys that literally did nothing here - I only went back a decade (it's amazing how few 6th round picks we actually had). 

They drafted him as competition for Jansen - albeit Jansen plays a position like K that you can clearly play into your 40s (you're not even allowed to line up over the LS anymore). I wouldn't have spent a Draft pick on a LS, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it - they've drafted exceptionally well so far. 

And again, it's the positive exposure. You're always trying to push out positive / feel-good messages. That phone call went national (international if you include me).

Most of those other players for at least an offseason actually practiced with the offense or defense as a camp body. You can't even say that for a LS

I understand the need to find some value in the move, but if he doesn't end up as our future long snapper, it will still be an incredibly stupid pick. The "feel good" has already been forgotten by 95% of the people that saw it. We(Panthers fans) are probably the only people that actually remember it anymore.

We get it. 32 teams knew Trey Smith had more talent than where he was drafted. There are a lot of health problems. I don't wish ill on the kid, hope he has an All-Pro career, but when/if he plays 10 games over three seasons, will all of you shut up about him?

The Huddle is like the pack of Baboons I cycled up on in South Africa.  A car drove buy them and honked to get them out of the road. It caused a 30 minute all out bloodbath monkey war over nothing. 

We trade a conditional nothing pick for a well regarded kicker that everyone agreed needed to be done. Now its a shitshow. 

What is wrong with this place?

is he a well regarded kicker? 

last time he kicked was 2015 in college…and they took him off FGs because he wasn’t good.  Sounds like something still needs to be done. 

But pie coming your way for the opening analogy.  You right there lol

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By 7CLOWNS · Posted

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
