It was the NFL Man of the Year award.

The Falcons of that time looked at Eugene a lot like the Panthers now look at Thomas Davis.

If you can imagine Thomas Davis being arrested for trying to pick up a prostitute, that's how shocking this story was.

We're talking Panthers versus Falcons. So, no. I feel you're insulting Thomas Davis.

He had been a Falcon for barely a year when that happened... so no, I sincerely doubt that.  It was shocking to them for sure, but no where near the same level it would be for us if it happened to Thomas Davis.

Not the Man of the Year award. He got the Bart Starr award. The Man of the Year award is decided by a panel of judges - the Bart Starr award is decided by the players themselves (in a similar manner to Pro bowl voting). It also usually has a different winner than the Man of the Year award - last year, Peyton Manning won it; this year, Thomas Davis won it.

It's obviously not the same in terms of long-standing players, but pretty much everyone who has played with or met Eugene thinks he is a great guy.

Oh I know Eugene is a great guy, I'm not disputing that.  I'm just saying the weight of TD doing that to us, who is a career Panther, a Panther great and will likely have a statue outside the stadium at some point would be way more crushing to us than Eugene doing it to the Falcons when it was his first year with the team.  It'd be more like Charles Tillman doing it to us.

Eugenr had built that reputation even before he got there.

One of their players at the time said he was sure they'd lose now since one of their beat leaders had gone and screwed up.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
