Anyone else pissed???

Is anyone else out there pissed off that the Panthers have the #1 pick in arguably one of the worst drafts in recent memory?? Other than that Jamarcus Russell draft I can't remember one that has been much worse. I mean Nick Fairley and DaQuan Bowers as the best overall prospects? Those of you predicting Fairley to be the next Warren Sapp and Bowers to be the next Mario Williams need to go back and watch some film and also look at the size of these two guys.

How much better of a player is Bowers than Gaines Adams was when he came out? How much better is Fairley than Glenn Dorsey or Sedrick Ellis?? These were guys drafted really recently at the top that have essentially turned out to be decent players but not anything special.

If you are drafting #1 overall the you better get a player that is going to change your franchise. You better either get a QB that is a franchise player or a player at a different position that is going to change the game for your team and win you games. IMO neither Fairley nor Bowers are of that caliber. AJ Green is the only player that IMO you could look back on in a few years and wonder how he didn't go #1. I'm not saying that is a reason to draft him....but IMO he is the only can't miss eventual superstar player at the top of the draft.

I am beginning to agree with all the A.J. Green talk. Although I don't believe we need him. I think he's the best player available and the one player in the top 5 rankings of prospects with the most upside outside of Gabbert who is nothing but upside.

As far as Gabbert goes, yes we need a franchise QB, but this guy is all hype. He has the exact same pros and cons as Cam Newton, but he's white, he's not a national champion, and he's not a Heisman winner. So there's no reason to draft a qb in the first round they all suck.

I'm pretty sure we are going to be bringing in a vet qb, so that will give Pickles a chance to sit back and watch, and A.J. Green and our young guys from last year will have someone to get them the ball and help them develope.

I'm honestly hoping someone gets so enamored with one of those guys (most likely to be Bowers, actually... based on measurables and ability) that they'll convince us to trade down a little...

If we don't move down, the safest pick is still Green, to me... he has the most limited bust potential of the three of them, and even if you include Peterson...

There are no sure-things in any draft, so it is always going to be a risk/reward scenario, and the best bet is to go with the least risk...

It'd be great to somehow snag one from Green, Bowers, Fairley, or Peterson, and then somehow also get someone like Kyle Rudolph (this coming from a major opponent of drafting a TE all these years) or a top RG prospect in the beginnings of the second round by trading down...

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Canales was brought in to fix Bryce. That was how he sold himself. He failed.  the panthers need a new qb, someone to coach him, and someone to build a defensive staff.  Canales has failed at developing a new qb. His big draft project XL is trending towards bust. His entire nfl resume before the panthers was one season as offensive coordinator on a stacked Bucs team, and being on the offensive staff when a 31 year old Geno smith finally put it all together. And he didn’t even pick his offensive coordinator. Assuming evero is gone, who’s he got in that phone to call? What low lvl porn addict evangelical from the bucs is ready to be Peter principled? There is nothing in his coaching history or his current performance that indicates he’s the person to move this team forward. Every other team knew this last cycle (panthers were only interview) and nothing has happened to change that perception   all people like you have is “well you can’t do it again it’s too soon but <random interval of time> will be different.  just pull off the bandage. There’s no reason to let this guy draft “his guy” except people wanting an excuse not to fire him after 2025.

      Both Reich and Canales were saddled with trying to build and establish a viable scoring offense around Bryce Young. The best the offense looked this season and last season was with Andy Dalton who is also terrible but still better than Bryce Young. Which should be all anyone needs to know but still somehow there are weirdos here salivating over a ceiling of maybe on a really good day the 25th best QB in the league. We've already canned one entire staff over our first overall pick. You can fire everyone again to satisfy your need for vengeance and quickly come to the realization that your next hire will absolutely unequivocally be a downgrade yes man or you can blow up this QB room and then assess. If no progress next season then you can make changes and justifiably so.
