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.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
