Should we? Yes. Will we? Probably not.

Who else will play if not?

What can Mack do that Freeman can't?  Or Hubbard for that matter?

We might activate him, but, Christensen should be next man up if Miller is out. He's been OK when called upon to fill in.

Either one would be fine for me.

He's only under contract for 2021...  Would have to be a late round pick/fringe player.

Pat Elflein is on IR, and John Miller is questionable.

With Daley playing LG in Elfein's place, do we see Deonte Brown plugging in at RG?

Let's see how we do against Dallas' offense first. If we brutalize them, then a nickname is warranted. If we get beaten up, let's just skip it for a while.

We will definitely get one in that case.  The comparisons to the LoB are already being made.

This is in no way unique to Henderson...

...in fact, it's the primary reason such a massive number of NFL & NBA players go broke.

Easy solution --- as the inimitable Nancy Reagan said...."Just Say No".

Right, and I hate to say it, but he may be a little more "weak" mentally in that regard...

Not enough to support a retinue of "moochers"...

So how far is far enough to where the "moochers" (i) are at arms-length and (ii) it's too far for the "moochers" to pick up and move with him?

Probably needs to go to Texas or West Coast don't you think? 

Those "moochers" are pesky!

I'm trying to find the source again, but I read that part of the issue was family/friends hitting him up for money.  I thought it was in this thread, but apparently it's not.

That's what I was referring to.

The best defense nickname in years was the Denver "No-Fly Zone"

The nickname doesn't have to be Snow-related...  I saw "The Great Wall" on a Panthers defense infographic.  I actually kind of like that.

Looks like what you've got there is a safety who has trouble with acceleration and change of direction.  Just looking at the scores, I've never seen the guy play.  If he's a FA at this point, there's probably a reason.

You know who is even worse at those things?  Juston Burris

For context, here is Burris' career history:

• New York Jets (2016–2018)
• Cleveland Browns (2018)
• Oakland Raiders (2019)
• Cleveland Browns (2019)
• Carolina Panthers (2020–present)

And Jones':

• Green Bay Packers (2017–2018)
• Dallas Cowboys (2019)
• Jacksonville Jaguars (2020)

As a top 10 pick, I'm sure there was no possible way he was getting money from boosters, amirite?

Besides that, speculating is fun as fug.  It's kinda what we do all day/everyday on here.

It was still amateur football at the time. 

This is a bizarre line of thinking/excuse-making...

...what's the magic number in terms of hours driving in order to get away from the "moochers"?

He has been in the league for 4 years and is a free agent 3 games into the season. He must not be very good.

... ergh... potential!

I remember another player who was known to be very quiet and reserved and didn’t talk to a lot of teammates. Things worked out well for him.

 

Yep, didn't have a "passion" for the game either.

True but maybe he wanted to leave the entire state?

I don't know...just spitballing things here....

If his family are that big of moochers, maybe they moved to Gainesville while he was attending UF.  That's rather close to Jax.

He could also have a lot of friends/associates living in Gainesville causing him problems too.

FA Josh Jones:

What he does best:

• Big combine put him on the radar – 6-foot-1, 220 lbs., 4.41 40, 37.5 inch vertical and 11-foot-0 vertical jump put him in elite company.
• When in position, uses his length well to reach around and break up passes.
• 25/46, 0 TDs, 3 INTs and 6 PDs played some CB early.
• When he stays low and over his feet, and disciplined to his target, he displays the athletic and physical tools needed to make plays on the ball in the air.
• Has the size and strength to compete with tight ends in man coverage.

Player Comparison: Mike Minter. Jones reminds me of a bigger version of Minter. Minter was a second-round pick who went on to have an excellent NFL career. He was a tough, physical presence who turned himself into a well-rounded defender. I think Jones could end up being similar in the NFL and also might be a second-round pick.

Man, can you imagine the excitement if this did actually happen before Horn went down??  Holy moly

i don’t care about politics, this is a football forum 

edgy one liners skirting lines of being banned or ‘look at me’ posts isn’t what I’d call great content, fiz is better now days imo

in summary if you’re going to pick a few posters who have insightful content about football/Panthers, those aren’t it, just my opinion 

Disagree, but that's cool.  I would invite you to pick through his topics.  Some very insightful stuff especially on team management.

Very interesting...  Are we cutting/demoting someone in reciprocation?

But you hurt Jake arm

Ahahaha...

Fitterer is a seasoned guy, who has witnessed lots of success and knows how to get there.  I'm not sure that you would see these moves in a season that is supposed to be a wash at best.

The coaches know the players and how to use them to get us there.  And they also know a whole lot more about them than we do.  Sam is the guy.  Point blank, period.

We're headed to the playoffs this year.
