Do we have a scouting problem?

If this has been addressed, my apologies. I don't think anyone would challenge the opinion that we have a significant talent deficit, especially in light of the the draft picks we have had.

Some have pointed toward scouting as the issue.  That could be true but do we really have any idea as to whether the scout's advice/input is being followed.  I've seen a good bit of assumption regarding who is making decisions, but not sure any of us know.

How much turnover have we had in that department since Tepper became owner? If the picks have been directed by scouting, that's obviously a definite need for improvement.  If the counsel they are giving is being ignored, changing them out is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

I think someone said on "Get Up" (while discussing the Raider's dysfunction), that if the person making the decisions is the only employee that cannot be fired, (i.e. Mark Davis), then turning over staff is just a waste of time and money.

The proof ‘is in the pudding’

look at the failed draft choices …that tells the tale…FA not great either 

if you don’t have the quality thoroughbredhorses, you can’t win the race.   

The Panthers have a lot of mules.

consider their best players (burns, Moore, cmc, Shaq, Moton) did not come from this regime.

Definitely have a scouting issue. When did this start….around 2018. That is when Tepper bought the team.  The question is why? Why did the Panthers lose people when Tepper came here and why can’t the Panthers replace them with good people? 
 

Or did they just stop listening to the scouts?

Yes the scouting is laughably bad but it really starts with a very poor understanding of the talent you have. This staff went into the draft thinking we were close when in fact the team was riddled with holes.  This is the worst franchise in the nfl and the people who dragged it down are still in charge.

      Watching Rams/Eagles. Celebrating the St Louis Rams team that won the SB (Warner, Holt, etc..) while playing in Los Angeles seems wrong.  If I were in Los Angeles, no way I would attend a Rams game.  Probably wouldn't attend a Chargers game either.  Becoming a fan of a team that likes to move around just seems like a waste of energy as a fan.

      The only responses I am getting after providing statistics to put opinions in perspective seem to be from people who get angry and attack stats and people whose opinions differ from their own.  Have people on the Huddle ever overreacted, exaggerated, been wrong about players before?  Sure they have, so an alternative opinion with statistical support should not cause you to attack me or my views.  I am sorry your public schools failed you.  But your reactions are very revealing--you are stuck in Piaget's concrete operational stage--learn logic, how to debate a topic, and learn the difference between facts and emotional opinions.  When I paralleled Cam's stats with Jones' to point out how remarkably similar their careers have been to this point, It blew some 40 watt minds.  I think Jones, in a better situation, could be good--that should not upset you--

      penalties and poor hands is what cost us in the RZ Bryce missing "high" in the back of the end zone is not an issue, you're taught as a QB to throw high in the back of end zone were only the receiver can catch or no one The duo of Ian Thomas and Tommy tremble can both go at the end of the season, both been here for multiple seasons and they've barely developed
