There are takes to be had from both sides of the debate, so here is a collection of some of the best reactions to the team’s decision to draft Cam’s backup in the third round.First, I’ll start with mine.Full disclosure: I’m mostly happy about this because of the absoute chaos it will create. I do think Grier is a solid quarterback and was probably on the board longer than he should have been, but I don’t think Cam’s starting job is in danger or anything (unless his shoulder isn’t healing as well as we’ve been led to believe).Positive reactionsNegative reactionsWhat do you think, Panthers fans?

Part of doing that is analyzing the Carolina Panthers needs and seeing how they line up with general manager Marty Hurney’s draft history. Today we are going to look at the safety position, which is one of several needs the Panthers have in this draft.To assist in giving Hurney an overall grade for how he has done drafting this position over the years, I’ve come up with a simple point system that grades each selection on two criteria. For a full breakdown of how this works Authentic Donte Jackson Jersey , refer back to this article, but here is a low level summary.Player Quality: Zero to six scale. Six points for a franchise cornerstone/hall of fame grade player, five for an excellent starter, four for a good starter, three for an average starter, two for quality depth/rotational player, one for depth, zero for a total non-contributing bust.Pick Importance: Negative two to one scale. Negative two for first round picks, negative one for second and third round picks, zero for fourth and fifth rounders, and one point for anything beyond that. The logic here is that in the first round you need to at least grab an average starter to get a positive score, while ideally you should be getting someone great. Meanwhile in the late rounds, most prospects never become anything of note, so you aren’t penalized for that.For scaling purposes Authentic DJ Moore Jersey , using this system Luke Kuechly and Kawann Short would both be a four, a guy like Tom Brady would be a super rare seven, and Captain Munnerlyn would be a three.Over the course of Marty Hurney’s career, he has drafted someone classified as safety seven times. Here is the list:2003, Round 4 (119): Colin Branch, (2 + 0 = 2)2005, Round 5 (171): Ben Emanuel, (0 + 0 = 0)2006, Round 4 (121): Nate Salley, (1 + 0 = 1)2008, Round 3 (67): Charles Godfrey, (4 + -1 = 3)2009, Round 2 (59): Sherrod Martin, (3 + -1 = 2)2010 Will Grier Carolina Panthers Jersey , Round 6 (202): Jordan Pugh, (1 + 1 = 2)2012, Round 7 (216): D.J. Campbell, (0 + 1 = 1)Yikes. That is not a good list.Marty Hurney’s abyssmal history drafting a safety. He’s due for a win, right?Marty Hurney has only attained an average grade of 1.57 when drafting a safety, which is well below average. On the one hand, the team has never taken a leap on getting a true talent in the first round, but on the other, we haven’t found much value later in the draft either. Hopefully his luck will swing back around if he takes a safety this year, and they’ll become a solid contributor
