Wake up? The guy was just cut.  You act like he's been sitting there unemployed for weeks.

troller with a new account i see. hurney overall just needs to wake up before someone else jumps on it. He's a blocker and proven and yeah 30% of the time with a shitty backup tight end or we go the route of Shockey and Olsen again since Norv will wanna run more double TE sets or at least more clever and timely than shula did. I'll take the defending super bowl champs cap casualties. Go get Darby.

A lateral move at best and probably not even that.

 

Give me a TE in round 2. Frankly free agency should be largely focused on the defense this year.

You do realize we only have so many draft picks and maybe 1-2 should be day 1 starters?

What would you say if I told you we ran Double TE sets over 30% of the time last year? 

Would be interested to know many times Dickson lined up in the backfield/as an H-back rather than a TE.

Not a troller.  New account, yes.  Been lurking for a while, remembered it made Jimmy sad so I finally registered.  I just found it amusing that you were telling Hurney to "wake up" on a player that was just cut.

    • 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.
    • 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.
