There might be confusion on a 3 down back (as in one you can use on all 3 downs) vs a 3rd down back. Who knows what Frank was referring to, but if it was about his contract that 3 down back makes the most sense. A RB you don’t have to take off the field. The the basic viewer’s eye it appears Sanders is their 3 down or “feature” back with Hubbard giving him breathers/rest. It’s definitely not a good design whatever the hell is going on. https://www.thecharlottepost.com/news/2023/07/05/panthers/miles-sanders-eager-to-be-three-down-back-in-carolina/#:~:text=“Miles is a three-down,%2C he's a willing blocker.”

I’d say it’s more if the saying Reich, Brown, and Corbett are intentionally lying to the public and made up an injury to bench their QB. I do like how you are trying to spin it now and honestly I don’t blame you. It was getting bad. Claiming Reich never mentioned doctors and ignoring the interview I posted where he does was pretty bad.

and if you refuse to believe Reich we have Thomas Brown and our RG Corbett (who is dealing with out doctors) back up that statement. https://theathletic.com/4887450/2023/09/21/bryce-young-panthers-ankle-injury-andy-dalton/ “I have complete trust in our doctors. I’ve been working every single day with them for eight months. Whatever they’re saying, whatever they’re seeing with what they need to do with Bryce, that’s what they’re gonna do,” Corbett said. “I think we made a turning point in this game, kind of the culture shift of being smarter with guys rather than just shooting people up (with painkillers) and being back on the field.”

https://www.on3.com/pro/news/frank-reich-shares-details-on-bryce-youngs-ankle-injury/ “Docs are saying one to two weeks,” Reich said following the team’s final practice ahead of their Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. “Bryce has done well this week. I’m optimistic that he’s on the right path and that whatever the soonest he can get back is, he will get back. And when he gets back and when he’s cleared, he’s our guy and he’ll be ready to go.” Frank never said we were just waiting on a doctor he said the "Docs (which is short for doctor) are saying one to two weeks." "when he is cleared" (you know by the doctors he is referring to). I have had to show you this article over and over yet you keep saying Frank never said they are waiting on a doctor.

I feel like the more they are forced to defend whatever conspiracy theory they are preaching the more they believe it. It usually starts off as a semi crazy/joking thought, but once questioned they start digging their feet in the sand and refusing to budge. I mean if he keeps rattling them off maybe one day one of them will be right and he will get his "told you so" moment. In the mean time it's getting hard to take posters like that seriously at all....

You know you are talking to the guy who is convinced about the Young benching conspiracy theory? Don’t expect logic or data to change his view. Also yes you will be accused of loving Reich for questioning any of his nonsense. Reich looks to have many flaws but he seems pretty straightforward. I don’t see him lying or deceiving anyone intentionally. Just boring ole Reich who needs to let his OC call his plays.

C grade in 2 weeks is not the end of the world. All the matters is the end result.

Mingo was 39 and DJ was in the 3rd right?

We definitely need Bryce to have a good game. Even if we don't win he needs to look much better. That will settle down the fanbase and help players buy in to this new staff.

Yeah we don't need many early round projects right now. We need high floor players for depth/holes on the roster. Later rounds aside from OL can we used on projects/special teamers. I agree.

There isn’t a good way to spin that trade up. No Rhule to blame and Fitt already said in his press conference there was a run on pass rushers so he felt a need to go up and grab one. If he can’t get an active spot on a defense that is half on IR in a year we are developing players that’s not a good thing…

He looks to be a panic pick. We wanted a pass rusher and freaked out after a run was made on them. We traded up for him right?? Definitely the strangest pick of the draft for a roster with so many holes.

So we have execs giving him a C stating he has shown some good with bad. People on here are thinking he has been so bad we are faking injuries to bench and lying to the public about it. At least some of the outside perspective has some logic behind it. No one on here thinks he is looking great and I don’t see how anyone could. There has been some good with the bad despite what people are saying on here.

That's the real reason his he suspended. It's a "soft" suspension because the team is mad about those pictures. They made up the PED story to cover it up.

The injury just happened and you stated they went to the hospital to see the extent of the injury. Would they not know what level sprain it is? "Coaches aren't going to want folks knowing everything." Yet our coach is being too vague?? You are contradicting your whole conspiracy theory. It takes two people to keep this conspiracy theory debate going on. The fact that you are going on with it but calling someone else silly for doing it is ironic. Championing NFL coaches? Wow so plan B is paint the person that pokes holes in your theory into a negative light. I'm talking about a clear image of a player's ankle getting rolled. That player getting his ankle looked at that night and coaches and players saying doctors are telling them 1-2 weeks with an ankle sprain which is on the injury report. Sometimes the most obvious answer is the right one. It makes sense to me versus trying to play detective and assume this and that. Also they need to "soft bench" Zavala since that is how they do things now.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38490660/saints-derek-carr-sprained-ac-joint-week-week?platform=amp He won’t say what grade the sprain is? This was a HUGE deal to you when they wouldn’t for Young. Suddenly it’s no big deal when another team does? It’s like it’s in the team’s best info to give their opponents as little info as possible about injuries or something. What about Corbet’s interview saying they will do whatever the doctors say? We don’t inject players with painkillers and make them play through injuries anymore? Is he rattling off Reich’s lies? What I’m assuming is happening has pictures evidence and multiple people stating it. What you are saying is happening is just you randomly guessing and making assumptions. I know you won’t change your mind you are too far dug in.

They talk about it each press conference. Did you notice they won’t say what grade Carr’s sprain is? How about them not saying if he will play Sunday or not? Another “soft”‘benching! Fun fact your ankle can be sprained and you don’t need a boot. Fun fact when a DL lands on your ankle and it twists like the picture posted on this thread it can sprain it. So what happens if Young plays this Sunday despite Dalton looking good on offense? Are you still going to spin it as a one week soft benching? Of course you are…

And this

Yeah it’s pretty clear to anyone with eyes. People just like to make up random theories and present them as facts.

Hey look they are “soft benching” Carr too! What grade is Carr’s sprain??? Where are the X-Rays?? Why is he week to week? He isn’t ruled out for Sunday and Allen is being vague! https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38490660/saints-derek-carr-sprained-ac-joint-week-week?platform=amp Allen did not specify the grade of the sprain.

They don’t know the play BC was injured on. Look if you want to stand by your silly theory go ahead. We have head players and coaches telling us as soon as the doctors clear him he is our starter. So maybe Corbet is lying, Frank is lying (because that’s totally his character), and Young is playing along lying to make you right? Or maybe having a DL land on his ankle sprained it? Which one is the most logical. It’s not hard to see you are just in some sort of denial.

During the game just like BC did his bicep. It’s an ankle sprain that will keep him out 1-2 weeks as he was told by the doctors. Are you just ignoring the DL landing on Young’s ankle? Im sorry Reich’s not showing you an x-ray. Most coaches keep it basic when it’s a week to week injury. Keep digging for something and spinning whatever theory you want. The answer is right in front of you.

If you don’t agree with these fan theories then you must love Tepper! There is no counter argument allowed!

I thought Stroud had the highest floor with still a high ceiling. I did think he needed a decent OL, but he is making it work in Houston without one. A lot of football left to play in this draft class’s careers so time will tell.

Wait Tepper hugged Stroud????
