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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
