Are people trolling with this Derrick Henry stuff?

I've only been occasionally glancing through the Huddle this offseason and I keep seeing people seemingly seriously suggest Derrick Henry to the Panthers. He would be a terrible pick. Not because he's a running back, but because he's the wrong running back for this team. I'm part of #NeverTrump on Twitter and I'm now coining #NeverHenry for the Panthers.

We do need help at RB. When Stew went down in the Super Bowl, even momentarily, it killed our game plan and what made us successful all season long. I don't think CAP is the long term solution. 

Eh...we got to the Super Bowl with eh line play.  It caught us finally when we matched up vs a team that would test any team in that regard. 

Still a firm believer you build your line.  Build your OL and RB injuries don't matter much

Is there a Bo Jackson clone in the draft?  

No but I say take the guy at 30 that had more yards in a season than Bo, had more yards than anyone in Bama history, and who had more yards than anyone, anywhere, ever as a high schooler.  And he's a Von Miller clone physically.  Most importantly he's GMan's Blue Goose.

i think Henry will be good.  Not first round worthy though.  

 

He'll be gone by our 2nd pick.  Either take at 30 or rely on an aging, injury prone, cap monstrosity and his serviceable yet mediocre young backups.

my only issue is people declaring henry a big bruising running back...he's big, but he is not a punisher. he's a one cut downhill runner who is deceptively shifty for his size, but he isn't going to be train wrecking defenders like stewart or lynch.

i'm not even sure where the blount/jacobs comparisons come from either.

henry is more the arian foster mold.

He might be the pick, and if he is I am pretty sure the nay sayers should swallow their pride and realize Gettleman has forgotten more about scouting than they could ever hope to know.

ONLY because of Gettleman's success would I not go in ranting on this pick if it happens. But if you're asking me right now if this pick makes the most sense for me, the answer is definitely no.

    • In a lot of ways it makes sense to just draft a tackle early so they have flexibility with icky's injury and Motons not getting younger. I'd love for them to resign BC cause to me he looks pretty good anywhere they put him
    • Rods the one who needs to go if they don't win a cup soon, Overall I like the way Tulsky operates, do i wish he had pivoted to several smaller moves instead of going all in on a big acquisition? Obviously.   But RBA is the one I'm locked onto, he is too stuck in his ways and if if "his way" can't get somthing done he just triples down and proves his insanity by trying the same stupid crap over and over, the facebook casuals will be like but but but 8 years in a row making the playoffs.... yes we'll guess what we should have at least a cup to show for it, yes only one team wins every year but this year will be the 8th consecutive year making the playoffs.... heck none of us even get excited about that and haven't in four years minimum.  Our top guys are nearing the peak of their prime the time is now, but the canes seem content to stand pat and "make the playoffs" anther 5-8 years in a row.
    • #Panthers TE Tommy Tremble has a $2 million guarantee that is triggered today at 4 p.m. I don’t expect any movement there, fwiw. Tremble is due a $3.67 million base salary this season. He has another $2.4 million in incentives on his deal, per Over the Cap. https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2032117015121391697?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
