Favorite Moments in Draft History


Doc Holiday

Recommended Posts

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

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
