Henry would be a star in the panthers offensive. Its a perfect fit. People was saying Benjamin was slow, drop to many passes, and would be a bust. He worked out perfectly in our system. Sometimes judging someone from a previous player is foolish. I trust our organization about making the right choice.

Doug Farrar - one of my favorite analysts, and one of the few national writers that clearly know the Panthers well - just mocked Derrick Henry to the Panthers.  For reference, he ranks Henry #24 overall. 

"O.K., enemy defenses—deal with this. You have Cam Newton, you have Jonathan Stewart and now, you have the 6' 3", 247-pound Heisman Trophy winner to deal with. That’s a backfield that will dole out a lot of pain, both mentally and physically. Henry is more agile than the average big back, but his primary attribute is his ability to just trash opposing front sevens with his downhill power. This is as perfect a scheme fit as there is in this class, and Henry could elevate himself to the Panthers’ lead dog sooner than later."

Which of the two henerys do you see falling further into the second giving us a better chance of trading up and nabbing him, I would love both! I really see us trading up a few times in the draft and snagging a small pool of gems.

I think Hunter will be grabbed in the first, dude is a baller and graded well, Derrick has been mocked in the early second.

I really like the idea of Hunter Henry studying under Olsen.. memories of Shockey/Olsen come to mind from Cam's rookie campaign..

Dickson has been solid for us but outside of the fumble-reach-around-recovery TD in Tampa1 and the side-arm-helmet-sideswipe-stick-um-grab TD in Tampa2 – Dickson hasn't been a big cog to our success by any means..

We have enough players who can get yards running the ball on the ground 

we don't have enough players that can catch Cam touchdowns .. Cam has a lot more than 35 passing TD's in him, he needs guys who can catch them

What a shame that all we could manage was the number one offense in the league last year.

I think our weakness at WR showed up in a big way in the Super Bowl.  KB will help that but I think we still have a need at slot WR.

Cam is incredible, but that's no reason not to consider every possibility to make him more effective.

The pre draft interviews and workouts point to the front office being most interested in adding talent at WR, S, and DL (by volume of interviews).

It won't be some travesty if we don't add WR talent in the draft - we can be very successful with the guys we've got as last year proved.  But there is space on this offense for giving Cam more playmakers.

The best way I can put it is that .. giving Cam the offense as it is now is like putting a governor on a Ferrari

The best way we can put it.....The Falcons did this....the Colts keep doing this.....etc....A balanced, consistent team has a much better shot at a Lombardi than "the greatest show on turf" or the offensive heavy Colts of Manning's younger years.

You build this right, we can be competitive for 10 more years, not become a flash in the pan.

Why can't Gettleman be more like Ryan Grigson?

So if we add a few weapons for our QB or just one great one for that matter, all of a sudden we will turn into the no defense Colts and just pass every down

Which weapons exactly?  Name them, explain how we get them, apply the contracts to our books, and let's have a grown up discussion.

I will start....I want to add a huge red zone threat to our receiving corps...not a rookie....maybe one that has shown that he can contribute on an NFL field, maybe one capable of 1000 yard seasons and multiple TD's without a real threat on the other side to help him out.

Now how on Earth do I find something like that?

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
