Foreman has faced off against weaker rush defenses though. So while those YPC averages look impressive, they're really not. Cook faced off against five solid rush defenses and still accumulated over 1,600 yards and a 6.08 YPC average.

Cook isn't faster than Foreman by a little. He's at least moderately faster. Once he got space, he embarrassed secondaries with his speed and agility.

The kid is perhaps the most decorated Miami-born RB thus far. 

IDK, Cook didn't really produce much against the top rush defenses.  NC State was the top rush D they faced, and they held him to 65 yards.  Louisville was the next best, and they held him to 54.

Like I said, I think either one would be great.  I'm not trying to discount Cook.  I still think Foreman will be the more attractive back to our FO, due to his size, style, and blocking ability.

My opinion, you can't go wrong with Cook, Foreman, Fournette, and McCaffrey.  I even think Joe Mixon from OU would be a good get as well.  Phenomenal receiver out of the backfield.

Fournette is a once a generation talent.  I'm okay with it.  

Also, I literally can't tell when you're trollin or not.  

I have been pretty consistent for years that I think investing heavily with draft picks or money in RBs.....isn't good business to me.   Definitely not trolling.

You get an OL and any RB can run.  You can get a super stud at RB like a Todd Gurley.....and having a freak show RB still doesn't make a run game.  

I just think in terms of value a high first round pick can be better at a different position. 

 

and I don't but the once in a generation talent.  Bama probably doesn't think so.

Watson is the best player in the draft, I hope he falls to a good team tho. 

Watson post Pitt game finally looks like the Watson I thought would represent all season.  Can't figure it out but something had been off with him all season.  He was still ballling but there was always a tad off all season.   That hurt his stock IMO.  His downfield throws most of this season had been consistently iffy.  I know he had a lot of Ginn type drops but his ball placement downfield was off.

There are only 3 true gems in this draft class. Allen, Garrett, and Fournette.

Say what you will but drafting Fournette would give us the best rb prospect since Adrian Peterson. 

Damn I hope we get Fournette. I just can't imagine Cam Newton and Leonard Fournette in the backfield. It would be amazing, I hope we trade up if we have to fug it we need another spark on this offense.

I don't think he will last to 7. He is a better prospect than Elliot and Gurley were and I can't see 6 teams passing on him.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
