Big Surprise: The Panthers Screwed Us (1 Viewer)

[new city champ]

Interesting read. But as soon as I saw how the draft board was laying out leading up to our 2nd round pick, I knew Carolina was going to take Marshall one ahead of us. And you’ll never convince me it had nothing to do with Payton screwIng them in the draft last year really for no good reason...

Report: Panthers were tipped off that Saints targeted LSU WR Terrace Marshall Jr.

The 2021 NFL draft included plenty of drama, like the Panthers picking LSU WR Terrace Marshall Jr. to keep him away from the rival Saints.

Sorry for being blunt but I don't think they wanted him at that point in the draft.

Panthers are pretty good at screwing themselves the past 4 years.

As for Marshall would have loved it if the Saints drafted him. But i think at the end of the day they landed themselves a really good LBer prospect in Warner

Who cares? The Saints used a couple of Mr. Irrelevant picks to grab a QB who didn't work out. If that made the Panthers pick a player that may not have necessarily wanted (way higher at that), then it's a win-win.

More likely a Panther reporter posting the story to "get back" at Payton telling the story last year about stealing Stevens from the Panthers. Doesn't have to be true.

Sorry, but if the Panthers are changing their opinions on who they should draft based on who they think we want to draft, then Panthers fans should be very concerned about why their team has so little confidence in their own scouting department.

Thank god, if we would have passed at LB I would have gone crazy

Coach is playing 4D chess with the panthers. He had the janitor leak the info to the window cleaning lady in Carolina, who then told the IT guy, that the Saints wanted Marshall, when, in fact, he knew that Carolina wanted Werner as the "new Luke Kuechly". The IT guy then changed the excel file with the Panthers draft board, moving Marshall, who was in a 3rd round bubble, to the 2nd round.




I also write soap opera scripts.

Maybe they just want good players? I don't think they're concerned with being petty at the expense of high draft picks.

Brings back the memory of the 49ers “screwing” the Saints by trading up to draft Reuben Foster. Fun times.

I think it's less about being petty and more about showing they think our talent evaluators are better than theirs.

Seems like the SAINTS still passed on a lb.

Fake news. Go back and watch how fast we sent our pick in. Werner was always the target. SP wanted this guy since he left the field in the Championship game

I thought the same thing.

This is all silly speculation.
