What the Colts did that I hope the Panthers mirror.


TANTRIC-NINJA

Recommended Posts

Whatever you feelings About Luck and the Colts, the simple fact is that the team went from 2 wins to 11 in one season.

Was it Great coaching? ..Did luck gross people out with his sloth face so they didnt want to sack him with all that slobber in his neck beard? Is Luck the second coming?

To me, one of the key things that facilitad this sussess is a total focus from the owner: Clean House: Polian out! Manning out(injury risk, age,money)! Dallas Clark(injuries and money) out!

During the draft they got Luck but also got a TE Colby Fleener, playmaking WR TY Hilton, LT Anthony Costanzo. A great foundation for a young QB. Retaining Reggie Wayne also a key for the offense.

Carolina to their credit did trade for Greg Olsen, signed Jeremy Shockey, extended Steve Smith.

However they never aquired another gamebreaking WR or help solidify the Oline. They actually allowed it to get more inexperienced and back filled it with UFAs and average vets.

Season 2 had no more added weapons on offense: drafting a young Div 3 Silatolu over a SEC battle tested LT Cordy Glenn was questionable. Allowing Shockey to go unsigned with nothing to replace him with was a poor decision as well. It seemed like Shockey was always savvy sitting in open areas in the zone and brought a toughness to the offense.

Hurney made it seem like we traded for 2007 Randy Moss with the Louis Murphy signing but his play has been avg on his best day.

This next draft is geared to solidify weapons and solidifying the OLine. DT is a need but going top 10 in defense this season with the Edwards does prove that unless there is a Ngata type(Star will not be avail at 15) we could plug it with vets there while fixing the offensive side which will regress quicker than we think.

Whoever the GM is I hope the Colts focus to get the future all the weapons will be duplicated here in Carolina.. And Newton agrees.

I'm really starting to like the idea of Warmack in the 1st. I know #14 is high for an OG, but Warmack has the ability to be an elite NFL OG and we badly need a RG. The Colts' success with Manning began with realizing they had their franchise QB in place and committing to providing that QB with everything he needed to succeed. They got Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Jeff Saturday, Dallas Clark, and on and on. They built around Peyton Manning. We need to build around Cam Newton.

The Panthers have the Dan Gilbert syndrome. We got Cam Newton, why do I need to spend any more money up grading key positions? I mean, Cam is the show!

TY Hilton's emergence with Avery as a formidable option really helped Luck out beyond Wayne. Hilton I think was one of the biggest reasons Luck did what he did.

There's just so many WRs that can help us imo in this upcoming draft I just don't want to see us pass up on them

My personal favs are Allen, DeAndre Hopkins, T-Will, Quinton Patton, & Cobi Hamilton

Patterson isn't going at 14. Nor should he He's a Stephen Hill type prospect who may creep in at the bottom of the first. Hopkins stock is going to skyrocket and wont be there when we pick in the second. May not be there when we pick in the first, honestly, depending on who Miami likes better between Allen and Hopkins. This is a terrible WR class.

I personally see this as a weak safety class and would hope to spend the biggest chunk of what little we have on a FA Safety.

This is one of the best Safety classes ever. Where ever you're getting this stuff from, call someone to come block it on your browser.

You can get one of the top 2 receivers at 14 (Allen and Patterson).Three OL will already be off the board, leaving the next level guys. I prefer Allen and Aboushi/Warford/Thomas over Warmack and Hunter/Woods. At this point I see Hopkins and TWill late 1 early 2.

Yes. Allen please.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • 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?
