Great to see both Joe Thuney and Jacoby Brissett taken in the 3rd round of the NFL draft. Sadly it wasn’t the Panthers, but both went to the Patriots, an organization that knows a thing or two about judging talent. Congratulations to both!
Congrats to both.
Yes, the Pats know what they are doing when it comes to evaluating talent.
It is completely wrong to suggest the Panthers don’t know what they are doing as well. Let me explain:
2011 – Cam Newton (MVP)
2012 – Luke Kuechly (3x All Pro, Defensive POY)
2012 – Josh Norman (All Pro)
2013 – Star Lotulelei (All Rookie Team)
2013 – KK Short (All Pro)
2014 – Kelvin Benjamin
2014 – Trai Turner (All Pro)
2105 – Shaq ThompsonShow me a team that has drafted better than that.
I believe that Shaq Thompson is well on his way to being an All Pro. Star could easily be as well. Benjamin returns from injury this year and will have a giant season in my opinion. First round pick Vernon Butler Gettleman is convinced has All Pro talent. We now have three All Pro level defensive tackles – hog mollies as Dave likes to call them. An MVP QB that can do it all. And a linebacking core that is the best in the league. Good luck NFC South (which we’ve won now three years running).
^Now find a late round RB sleeper and Money Ball some OL/secondary guys and Cats should make another run.
Yea. The panthers have drafted as well as anyone the last few years – like you said, few have drafted better.
Congrats to both.

I guess my combining two separate thoughts (sad the Panthers didn’t draft them, and NE is a good judge of talent) was misconstrued that the Panthers aren’t good talent judges. I hadn’t even thought that, but I can see how it was interpreted that way. I fully agree the Panthers have been great in that area, I was just hoping to see Thuney and Brissett more often, since I watch every Panthers game, and maybe a few Pats games each year.
It will be interesting if Brady’s suspension sticks, which it probably will, and something happens to Garoppolo.
No worries man I gotcha. Panthers desperately need corners and we got two of ’em, hopefully one can pan out.
I’m happy with the Dolphins draft for the first time in years. Hopefully we can get a couple LB’s this evening, especially Scooby Wright out of Arizona. With that being said, I wish Thuney and Brissett the best of luck, except for two weekends a year.
The last guard/QB combo from State to play together in the NFL did pretty well. I just hate that Thuney and Brisett ended up in NE though.
MIA: The only guy to bolt early….
It’s got to say something about that guy that I don’t know who you’re talking about.
