Remember when many wanted Strong?

Well, Jaelen Strong is the next player to get caught with pot.

Not to say that we would look at a guy like Noah Spence with any seriousness, but in some sense, I am thinking that Strong's arrest will make GMs think twice before drafting guys that have impaired judgement as it pertains to their priorities in life. 

I wish that I had the opportunity to throw away potential millions for a toke.

Did he have pre-draft character/weed concerns? I don't remember that if he did. I only remember being really against drafting him because I didn't think he was any good. Zero separation at the top of his route.

Randy Gregory is the better comparison for Spence. That guy failed 4 weed tests in less than a year and was a known problem pre-draft. For every Tyrann Mathieu, there are 3 or 4 Randy Gregorys. A zebra doesn't usually change it's stripes.

Jamie Dukes said we should have drafted this guy instead of Shaq or Funchess. Reason #10,987,346,234 I'm glad he is not our GM and only an NFL talking head. Jamie Dukes is an idiot. Don't be like Jamie Dukes.

Yes,  I still haven't figured out Jamie?

I have no clue either. It seems almost personal how he constantly discounts Gettleman. I think back in the day when Gettleman was a scout he must have given Dukes a low grade or something.

I remember Strong taking a tumble in the draft and some (myself included) not understanding it. 

 

Welp, I'd say a lot of teams probably did their homework and knew Strong had some habits. 

He had some wrist issue(needed surgery at some point) and he really just kinda sucked. Doubt the weed was a major factor in his drop. Half the league smokes weed.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
