Analysis: The Panthers are undergoing an extensive makeover, but the team still has a chance to be competitive for another few years due to its solid drafts. At the top of the draft, the Panthers successfully nabbed Beason, Stewart and Otah in the first round. The trio has anchored the team's rebuilding efforts and given the team an identity on both sides of the ball. Even though Jarrett and Irvin have failed to live up to their draft status, the overall contributions of the team's recent classes have been outstanding. Given the significant losses to their roster this offseason, more of the Panthers' young players will get a chance to prove their worth in 2010.

Me thinks that old Bucky was just looking for somebody on the roster that didn't have great stats. Calling a 3rd round draft pick a bust after one year is pretty extreme.

I also didn't know that we still had 23 of 24 drafted players still on the roster. That in itself is pretty damn impressive. Its also indicative of how good our scouting dept. is.

    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season? 
    • Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in. 
    • JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
