Wasn't a fan of Cook prior to this mainly because of his vision and the OL that he played behind at FSU.  Agree that if a RB doesn't have a Zeke, AD, or Fournette like presence to him, pass.

Obi should def be a consideration at 40.  He's got that Kam Chancellor / moneybacker kind of game and fits well with what our defense looks for.  I originally wished that we moved Shaq to SAF, so getting this hybrid-style SAF would make our back 7 incredibly versatile, physical and athletic. 

Still hoping we grab one of the FA safeties, but if we can't grab a top talent there, then Melifonwu would be a welcomed R2 pick.

Welp "realistically" in the eyes of the law he didn't do it and Worley did. By no means was Worley wrong in doing that, but Cook should not be bashed by folks for a crime he was found innocent of. You guys make no fuging sense. Just being realistic, ignorance of fact Is some unrealistic poo

LOL dude you need to calm down I'm not saying he's a bad person. I'm saying if there is off the field stuff the Panthers are going to take him off their board.

IM all boad the Melifonwu train if we don't get the likes of Hooker or Adams in the 1st.  I could see a safety needy team taking this guy in the 2nd.  But if he is there in the 3rd I think he would be a steal.  6'4 219 projected to run a 4.5.  Yes please.

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
