Truth be told, if Ginn caught all he dropped it would have helped Cam’s completion rate considerably. 

then when he went to the saints, he caught everything.  I think Cam threw a hard ball to catch.  Didn't he split Smith's hand open once?

Maybe, but Greg Olsen had no problem with Cams passes. 

Yes, he did, but he did not catch them all.  As a former college pass catcher, I can tell you that some QBs throw a ball that is more difficult to catch than others. Velocity, timing, and location of the pass matters.  Cam's ball was probably more difficult to catch than Brees' ball.

If Verge called this, there is a poster or two that owes Verge apology and kudos

I think she does a great job sharing any insights she can. But for the draft QB situation it is all about what non-Panthers sources think/would do. And a lot of the time that is close enough.

Why? The moment we made this trade there were only two potential picks. Literally a 50/50 chance of getting it right lmao

Not to pat myself on the back, but I was usually pretty on spot with all the information that got out. Plus I did have us trading to #1 for Young two weeks before they traded up. I'm taking as much of a lap as I can here for this one lol

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol

      How is this supposed to work on college? How are you supposed to recruit with a one year interim coach?

      You must have researched him to know this--I said I would research him.  And there are trades, etc. during the draft--you really need to know the full board.
