When has that ever worked out for us?

Cam Newton.

Average Backup Or Special-Teamer
 

Strengths

Explosive athlete.

Rangy with good chase-down gallop to the sideline.

Burst and change of direction make him a toolsy rusher.

Hands are very sticky when he gets his chances to take the ball away.

Lateral agility to expand his short-area tackle success.

Weaknesses

Play recognition and football instincts are lacking.

Frequently fooled by misdirection in both run and pass games.

Lacks patience and leverage in his scrape, allowing cutback lanes to runners.

Pulled out of position by bait routes in his spot drops.

Pass rush could use more elusiveness when diving into A- or B-gaps.

interesting, literally every weakness is coaching related. I guess they feel he didn't have good development at uk and they can provide it. He is Shaq's replacement, so he won't play much this year anyway.

we just drafted DJ Johnson the 2nd rah rah rah.

hey at least we got a pick for him, instead of giving up a pick for him this time. we're slowly learning 

Meh, don't love it but drafted bout where his grade was.. mid 3rd to early 4th. Much rather would have gone C or Sanders but they obviously don't like him (other teams don't either)

RBs have a short shelf life & it takes a couple seasons to get back to speed with some slow down from an ACL for several positions.

Going to tell me otherwise?

If all you want is project players with hope from the first 3 rounds, you'll be happy being a fan of a team that never sees the playoffs.

I want to build a dynasty with at least 1 to 2 SB appearances every decade. Panthers have been doing that until the 2020s

Come on dude. Breece Hall tore his ACL in October 2022 and rushed for 1000 yards the next season. Dalvin Cook tore his then ripped off like 4 1000 yard seasons or something.

whats the record for drafting players with ACL tears in 1 draft, if Carolina drafts Wilson, they would have 3 total ACL injuries between them.

Well Atlanta had 2 by pick 8

When did we get a 6th?

Last night from Buffalo

It's 2024 an ACL injury isn't a career ender anymore. 

Yeah I can name 2 first rounders just this year who had ACL injuries in college. Theres probably more if I bothered to look. People just like to say whatever they feel and present it as some rule the NFL follows 

1 minute ago, CPantherKing said:

You don't draft ACL liabilities in the first 3 rounds

Whose rule is this? Because no GMs follow this 

Oh wow, we don't like Sanders or Canales likes Tremble a lot. Welp, let's see what we do at 72

None. I'm excited for this year, we either have our QB or know we need to move on. No purgatory 

Just now, mrcompletely11 said:

Yeah cool.  How's his knee?  What did we give up to draft an injured player?

Right now? Rehabbing. By TC? 100%

If Sanders is left at 3-1, draft him. Then take C in the 4th, 6th, and 7th.. One is bound to hit lol. Getting 4 offensive starters in this draft would be a huge win.

You refuse to realize that a 2nd round running back has less chance of busting than a 5th rounder. 

It’s crazy how out of control the RB narrative has gotten. Yes RB is not as important as the past and yes a 2nd round RB most likely is much better than a 5th round RB. Both can be and are true. 
 

A 4th round RB gets you…. Chubba Hubbard. Come on now, he’s a good dude and good second RB but he isn’t moving the needle for any team. 

Just now, jasonluckydog said:

We are going TE, if he is not available we will trade down.

Texas guy? Wouldn’t hate it. I don’t know centers left, I’d be happy there at 3-1 too if anyone decent is left

So take Benson...and keep 2 picks.

Come on now. We could have had a 4th round grade on Benson for all we know. I could also be completely wrong and we fugged up. We just don’t know 

All I’m saying is the Brooks pick may have served more than one purpose. If we don’t get C at 3-1 (which I hope we do) I am pretty sure Denver and Miami FA Cs are both still out there . I THINK Sanders cap hit is like 6.5M this year. If we can give him away for someone taking 3M that frees up enough cash we might make a move for a FA center. That being said personally I prefer 3-1 or Corbett but I’ll give Dan bod until he proves us wrong

Nope 

Uh yes? If you are saying we are down 2 picks because you don’t think we should count 32 we got back from the Bills then there’s no point in us arguing, we won’t agree. 

1 minute ago, PantherChris said:

I'd bet he has at least 1500 total yards and 8+ TDs our offensive line is vastly improved.

I honestly feel we will slow play him like Gibbs this year. 900 rushing 200 receiving and being a above average blocker is a win imo

4 minutes ago, heel31ok said:

And gave up 2 picks for them to take him.

We gave up 1 pick, a 5th

We will see that again this season

We shouldn’t. All 3 IOL are upgrades imo and we have skill weapons now. Put up or shut up time for Bryce I’m excited

OK, if you were going to build a system around a young, small QB who got hammered last year, what do you do?  You follow the Saints' model and bring in two stud guards.  You add a first round WR.  You trade for an X WR.  You add the best RB in the draft, one that blocks, catches, and runs.  We may add a TE tomorrow. 

You see, when the Defense is not afraid of your guards, your WRs, your RB, and your TE--they tend to pin their ears back.  That makes playing QB very difficult, something some of the more astute Huddlers have noticed.  Now they have to fear our OL, WR Johnson, WR Thielen, WR Legette, RB Brooks--all pretty elite. The Defense is less likely to pin their ears back.  This is how Payton designs his offenses, and why they call him the QB whisperer.  Yes, we will run the ball and I think we will feature motion, short passes, slants, etc. with a focus on YACs.  The RB was an important piece, and I doubt the RB we needed was going to be there in the fifth.  I hate drafting a RB, but I understand it.

Hell, We may add a TE tonight

If we can get a 7th for miles, do it

Give him away for free if someone agrees to take the contract

Bryce has no center. And no, Corbett isn't one despite what he and the team are claiming. If he was, he would have started at center for other teams instead of them moving him right back to guard after camp.

I'm a big Bryce supporter and don't think he had a fair shot that anyone could have succeeded in last year, but no I think he is setup well this year. Corbett is a center, he just had more value as a guard for other teams. No excuses this year

Has anyone said what we have up to move back up? 

both 5s this year. We basically traded both our 5s this year for a 2nd round pick next year. elite
