Ok the Draft is 2 weeks from today, so my question is what are your favorite moments in watching the draft.

Mine

3, the Julius Peppers pick, loved it from the moment it was announced.

2, the Jonathan Stewart, Jeff Otah thought we struck gold when we landed both and probably would have if both had stayed healthy

1, Brady Quinn dropping to 22nd, his girlfriend on camera was priceless, you could tell that she knew how much money he was loosing every time he dropped a spot in the draft, if they had been married at the time I bet that gold digger would have devorced him on the spot for not being worth the millions she thought he would have been worth.

I was big on Deangelo so when he was still there with 2-3 picks to go, I was excited. And then when we got him, I was ecstatic.

I was bummed by the Jon Beason pick because I thought Posluzny was a beast (that didn't really hold up long)

Cam was fun because it seemed like we'd do it, but I didn't know if we actually would, and a season where Jimmy wasn't at the helm any more was such a relief.

And I remember being a kid and getting excited because people were excited about the Kerry Collins pick after we got him, but I didn't really understand what the hell was going on. Still fun though

Ryan Lief going before Manning. But in the Panthers case I would say the Cam Newton pick. Mostly cause the coaches were able to block out all the espn negativity surrounding his potential. Not to mention the refreshed feeling of a new qb that was not over-hyped like Clausen and weinke.

I'm pretty sure Manning went before Leaf.

If it was at the time, no hindsight? I loved the Dwayne Jarrett pick. Loved Keyshawn trying to explain it too.

If it's hindsight, obviously that punt returner we drafted in 2001.

that was really a funny moment, Keyshawn was like "yeah I'm going to teach him everything" and was a June 1st cut I think. Lmao

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
