He only really carried it alot last year. Its not like he did it all 4 years and is burnt out. Seems to be alot of Bama bias here, and I hate Bama. I think he has fewer carries than all the top backs coming out. I hate the Jacobs comprison too, i just dont see it.

Yeah I agree. I'd hate for him to be like Brandon Jacobs.

 

Not that I want Henry in the 1st. I'd take him in the 3rd or later. But...what does this even mean?

 

Jacobs had a pretty productive career in NY. He may not have played 10 years. But how many RB play that long? He had 6 pretty good years. Not bad.

Actually enjoyed this one.  Most seem to put a player with the team of their choice and then backfill them to justify why a particular player will end up with whatever team.

What I found interesting was Henry would be available here.  Only thing that scares me is I heard someone mention his name in the same sentence as Eric Shelton, our 2nd round bust many years ago.

Henry and Shelton have literally nothing in common. Its a ridiculous comparison, just someone citing a player we drafted at rb that was a bust. Hurney drafted lots of those in round 2.

Actually I have heard that Henry runs upright just like Shelton did so it isn't a ridiculous comparison.

A lot of runners ran/run upright, including Eric Dickerson (and I could go on). That's not a litmus test.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
