I just hate RB in the first round. It's so feast and famine. How great will he be getting hit like Cam and Stew is all year. I just don't like it. You think Stew is injury prone man RBs period are injury prone! Short shelf life and big drop offs are call signs of the RB position. This pick will make or break gettlemans career. Let's hope it's the former.

After 2005 we stopped him from returning. Only did it in emergeny. Only returned 18 kicks in 5 seasons. Didn't do it in 2009. Thing is, we have capable players to return kicks. Kaelin Clay is capable to return both punts and kicks. McCaffrey is only decent at kick returns. I wouldn't want to risk his health when we have other options.

Ginn ain't here 

and when Ginn hasn't been here we have been a joke.

Didn't Stewart return kicks as a rookie too? Got to put guys on the field.  He is only going to be part of a RB committee as a rookie

If I just saw him as a RB, then I would hate the pick. We needed a chest piece to counter Lavonte David, Stephone Anthony, and Dion Jones that lived in our backfield, I want to force these guys to cover McCaffrey in space. Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman torched Denvers defense. James White torched Atlanta Defense. We needed a similar and better player on this offense

But hes not just playing RB. He is probably the best WR on the Panthers roster especially in the slot. He is our kick and punt returner from day one. You can use him on the field with Stew too. 

He is a play maker.

Best WR? loool. Wow..these cats are wildin' tonight.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
