Other teams "sniffing around Carolina's interest in Fournette."

The reason to draft Fournette is to keep the defense off the field with longer time consumming drives.  Also you don't need a defense with the lead in the last four minutes and two running first downs.  If he can give this to a team, he's as good as any defensive player you can select.

fug New Orleans. I'm going there for work next week and I'm gonna piss on a certain fat boy's blue dog art. 

If they jump us for Fournette I'm gonna go back out and pay a herpes-riddled prostitute to motorboat his moobs while I hold him down. 

fug that franchise.

kinda like how Atlanta "gave up too much" for Julio

 

To a point I'm with you, but I think you could make a case either way.

Julio or not, where were they before their defense took the next step in 2016?

It was a hell of a lot to give up no matter how you look at it.

There was an article that came out not long before the Super Bowl about the Falcons GM calling Bill over in New England for advice about the potential Julio trade, and Bill basically was against it. The article tried to make it a redemption sort of thing for Dimitroff, and to prove that Belichick doesn't always know everything, buuuuut I couldn't help but think about that article after the SB was over. Who knows.

I wasn't unaware of Fournettes ankle. 

Was just questioning the statement made about Stew. Who has missed mostly practice due to his foot issues. Most of his games missed were of more severe issues. Such as his knee a few seasons back.

Any running back that is a feature running back, is going to deal with foot and ankle issues throughout his career. Some more severe than others. All running backs deal with injuries. I don't sit and worry about injuries to running backs, it's not a question of if, it's more a question of when. I also don't hold that against a running back. A battering ram, no matter how carefully it is maintained and taken care of, will eventually break.

    • How we weren't willing to roll the dice on Wilson but were on Brooks remains a mystery.

    • Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
