Not sure how I feel about this to be honest.

There's no telling where he'll go in the draft.  We've had players in for visits plenty of times that were way out of reach, which I think Gurley is.  Not in the first necessarily, but if he makes it to the 2nd, he won't last until our pick.  It makes sense though, because anything could happen, and it's best to know guys for those "just in case" moments.

We've been linked to both Gurley and Tevin Coleman recently.  Sure looks like we're taking a hard look at a RB early.  Almost certainly not #25 early, but looks like a RB in the 2nd or 3rd round could certainly be in play.

 

I'm not against it.  DeAngelo is gone now and this is very possibly Stewart's last season as a Panther too.  You can't count on him staying healthy anyway.  I'm not sure why RB as a need hasn't gotten more talk.

Could we go one draft without drafting a RB please.

Let Stewart, Tolbert and Fozzy carry the load

 

And a good chance two of those guys, (Stewart and Tolbert) aren't on the roster in 2016 because of their contracts.

 

 

In the first? Hell no. In the 2nd? Tempting. The 3rd? All day. He'll probably go in the 2nd, but gotta cover all bases. Trade down scenario could happen for all we know...and if Gurley is the BPA with our current backfield in question beyond this year...I wouldn't hate jumping on him in the late 2nd if he's clearly the best guy left.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
