My take on him is this. If you need him to block, he's able and willing. If you need him to catch a pass for a 1st down, he's able and willing. Seems like the perfect solider. You see the effort too. Many have helped Rico go video game- XL, Mays, BC, IckY, Lewis, Tmac, Temble and Evans has been blocking his arse off too. Its vastly overlooked in this era of highlights and pay me TDs clips. Willingness and effort in the run game. I don't think its not by design, that nearly all of the last two draft class- If they need to block, you will get their best effort. Most of these current WRs/TEs want nothing to do with blocking......Horn, XL, Evans, and even sanders(he improved before the injury) are going shoot their hands and lose slowly......aka NFL blocking. Think if he's going to get better???!?!?!? !!!!

He was ..... and so was the whole dang team and coaching staff.

Re-watching in pieces, 4-6 calls were GIVEN to the blowboys. Fire the whole crew and let them move back to Dallas, total jobber. Shocking the Panthers were able to win, many were for 1st down and tone setting calls too. All in favor for bad guys... REFS-

All good solids points. I think after the RB and LB, is kicker the next spot among "Legacy" panther spot?? Kasay, gano, butkler, Eddie(best all-time %), Slye, Lloyd the touch back god, Mare, lols..... Fitz...*right now* feels a combo of all the best panther ones. With the new rules, Fitz is either first or second in starting field position form KOs. He's a weapon and ten yards do matter.

You people keep making me defend the 2024 class. Look XL might as well be 2nd rounder, guys drafted in the 30s-50s do not have what the first round 1-10 have. There's a huge gap. *Most drafts have a tier system that varies. 1-8, 9-14, 15-30, 30-50. Each level there's a huge talent fall or more risk involid. SInce Im a interwebz grandpa, "Back in my day" WRs took 3 full seasons before you knew the ones that had the talent. XL still has time to figure it out and if he doesn't, toss on 20 LBs and give TE a try.....Ive seen him blocking the number off players recently... I still holding out he and BY and...Dave can ALL figure out how to break XL out of the slump. Im not going to defend Brooks, it was wrong. I heard they viewed him as a first rounder, still.......no more. Wallace is looking better each week after that terrible week one, he's looking more and more like a great pick now. Sanders- a little unlucky, but he's the #1 TE on the roster. He's just got to figure out the silly minor injuries bug. Great pick for a 4th if he does, CSW- Unlucky with minor injuries too, but he's the starting NB. Great pick for the 5th round too as he's a legit starter. Crumedy- part of a deep DL and facts are he is the 50s on roster ranks. Still for a 208, that's about what's normally happens. He's still on the team and next year could have a better role. UDFA- Coker and RIchardson. They also signed Tremayne form that year, he made the deeeeep WR group and plays a solid ST. Im a former draft nerd... If you draft 2 starters and a top backup, that's a good/great draft. *Thus far this 2024 class has netted 4 starters, one backup, and one prayer. If you include and should the UFDA its increases the impact.

Yea, he needs to stay on bench, unless a injury hits. Corbett did beat out Mays and viewed as a better leader, but the injuries..... Tho....... You could talk me into him replacing BC cause BC is the best utility OLman. Still BC is playing great as RG, both him and Mays have earned the right to keep playing. Finally I don't think Corbett has ever played for RB that's had back2back 200 scrimmage yards. Maybe its time for Cobrett to be a top IOL backup for the last couple of years in his career.

Its soo crazy how they were able to grift norime NFL fans. Evero can go-to JC horn and tell him if he calls cover2, he needs to man2man the player in front of him. Then when PFF "grades" the play, -50 points Horn didn't play his zone in cover2 shell. Still if you have no idea on a player, PFF is about so good as a rando x/twatter self proclaimed NFL film watcher. Like if @TheSpecialJuan makes a comment about how well a player did, its the same as PFF "grades"....

Yea it was a prior issue with eddie and panther 50+ yarders. Both sides were right, for a time Eddie was the most accurate kicker in NFL history. But the distance issue and he was a Chris Tabor guy. I was a pro-Eddie defender and guess what.... I still didnt want to pay nothing much above min.....just a bad kicker market for kickers. I don't know alot about kickers, but I know this as a fact. Kickers are confidence based, the moment they loss it, you need to hold try-outs. Very similar to golfers, they need to believe and be able to recover from a bad swing. CSW said in a piece he'd trust Fitz with his life!!!! Others sounded off support too. Fitz has already showed me enough and the kickoff shenanigans have been a big bonus. He has given the Panthers field position, that's huge value form a kicker, saving points from being scored while being a scorer.

BC is playing great as a RG, but cobett can play either OG and C. BC can play all 5 spots and do it well, I lost a bet thinking some team would see he's valued. Glad BC is a panther and I hope he stays a few more years!! He's worth keeping around. Mays can and as been injuries before, that would leave some guy signed off ravens PS. Sure cobett hasn't stayed healthy long enough, but he's still NFL roster worthy even at this stage/age/injuries.

I was a huge Eddie supporter. Guess what after the top 4 or so Kickers, the 6-30 group is the same bag. I prefer the save cap space and not have some 14th ranked kicker making top 5 salary. Rightfully so, Eddie wanted $$$$$ and commit. Facts are there are too many NFL kickers out there, around 44 guys would be good enough if given the chance. So it's doesn't make sense to pay up when only 32 get to kick on game days. Fitz has the new KO stuff, it doesn't make a field position difference. starting from the 20 is totally different than 40-35. If you are on the 40, couple of 1st downs and their kicker FG range. Panthers made the right choice for once, Fitz is legit and cheap!

I hate bait like this after a WIn........ I mean why are the Panthers losing, so BY needs to make a comeback..... ugh...

Who knows bro, this was the type of win that can change your whole season for the better.

A'Shawn has been a monster.

This type of game that bring you stans and us haters together!! He did play very well with no excuses. *For the stans- In bad weather with Backup on the right side, backup RB, missing #1 TE and missing Coker. Still played like a real NFL QB

He played this game very well, nothing wrong can be said. Weather was not the best either.

Eddie wanted $$$$$$$$, Fitz is cheap and under control for 3 years.

These two weeks are most impressed RB Ive ever seen form a panther RB. CMC, Stew, Dwill, Davis <<<<<<<<< Rico how on earth?? Dowdle is like a better prime foreman, better hands and better speed. But like foreman breaks tack like I break hearts.....

He part of this growing class that is CHANGING the losing culture. His impact on KOs is huge too, he's under contract for 3 years too.
