Why in the hell do analyst think we have no talent?

[TheWiz]

I'll soon be posting some information as to why our team may have "sucked" last year... and I'll actually give some numbers to go with it, justifying our pics in the draft.

booyah.

[Brooklyn Bully]

1. We have an outstanding group of LB's. True, but that's just three, maybe four guys.

2. We have a monster DE named "Charles Johnson" who was 5th in the NFL with sacks and a group of promising DE's like Brown, Brayton, and Norwood. A guy who was 5th and sacks, and the rest of those nothings equate to no talent. Hopefully Hardy can change things.

3. We are OK in DB's we have Godfrey, Martin, and Munnerlyn. Being "OK" gives analysts all the proof they need.

On Offense

1. Promising WR's who have shown talent all this season, but how could they "Breakout" when they haven't been getting the damn ball dumba**es? Promising is just that, until they produce, so again the analysts have a point... right now.

2. Tight ends: we've recently signed Shockey who should be a star on offense if he stays healthy. Shockey is older than dirt.

3. RB's: We have arguably the best depth in that position in the NFL, with all star's like J-stew, D-will, and upcoming star KR/HB Goodson. Here we have great talent.

So take notes.

So we have talent at LB and RB, with Smitty and CJ also having talent. You can argue we have a good O-Line, but so do a lot of other teams. When you get down to the nitty gritty, we don't have a lot of talent. Just accept it. If you want an analyst to notice you, be in a larger market or have talent across the board.

If Cam turns out to be the real deal (no pun), the WRs all step it up, the O-Line blocks like they can, Hardy and CJ blow it up, the LBs cause havoc, the RBs break new records, and our DBs actually get more than 1-2 INTs each...THEN someone might say we have some talent.

I would say put it on the bulletin board but nobody would see it

[SorthNarolina]

Yep. The ESPN guys do put effort in though, it's just that all their effort goes into researching the big market teams, but we're just an afterthought to them.

We're not that far away, talent wise. We're just really young at some positions.

i think it also might have to do something with covering 32 teams instead of just 1. Think about babysitting v.s. a daycare.

[Mr. Scot]

ESPN football experts don't put half the effort into their job that we as fans do.

I bet any coach in the NFL would look at our roster and say we've got talent.

ESPN guys put plenty of effort into their job...if their job is to cover the Cowboys, Patriots, Steelers or some other large market team.

Panthers? Not so much :(

Edit: Monstercat beat me to it :lol:

Except they don't really cover all 32 teams.

[SPANKY]

Sounds like the same analyst/scout that said Smitty would only be a KR/PR. I did'nt see a team with no talent, I saw a team in transition. But lets face it, Jimmy was'nt ready, then he was thrown in the fire. Lets hope all of our QBs are ready, just in case we have some form of a season. No talent...sure. lol

[Ares d9]

I suspect it has something to do with us being 2-14.

[SevenSixes]

To get respect, you have to deserve respect.

You don't get any respect in this league for 2-14.

[Ivan The Awesome]

^ what he said..

[ChampJack]

This is getting ridiculous, It's not like we've been in the sh*tter for years like the Bills, and Lions.

On Defense

1. We have an outstanding group of LB's.

2. We have a monster DE named "Charles Johnson" who was 5th in the NFL with sacks and a group of promising DE's like Brown, Brayton, and Norwood.

3. We are OK in DB's we have Godfrey, Martin, and Munnerlyn.

So take notes.

im with you 100% brother... and the crazy thing is its not only the "experts" that say this its also some so called panther fans who think we dont have a winning team either... yeah we had a bad season due to No QB(which is major) Major Injuries (Deangelo, Otah, Thomas Davis, etc.) and we lost Peppers and moose. but with Cam and the draft we had... the addition of Shockey... plus our hurt players getting healthier well be in the mix next season...

[GritsRgreat]

As far as talent goes, we are average at best.

QB-Not good. Very high importance.... A rookie and a bust from last season.

RB-Very good. Somewhat important.... The best of the bunch is a FA.

OL-Decent. I only look at last season. Very Important.... When healthy

DL-Awful. Very Important... One of the worst in the league.

LB-Very Good. Somewhat important....a beast, a ?, and a one year wonder.

DB-Good. Very important.... I would say ok at best.

ST-Good. Important... Rock solid.

Coaching- Incomplete. Very Important.... We really don't know.

My take..
