Guess that story out of dfw was some chick wanting cash

lets hope he is finally gonna be a contributor...after all, he was only a first round pick

 

Yeah a complete dud of one. Never liked the pick myself. Wish we would have gone OT or TE.

Like? 

Hunter Henry is the only player that you can make an argument for as a TE, but he's been just okay (with some injury concerns) so far.

Outside of the top 5, the 2016 draft has been eh from what we've seen outside of some scouted players in later rounds, as far as pro bowl caliber players go. We can do a lot worse than a really solid rotational defensive tackle, on a team where our d-line is important.

I knew some dumbass would ask so like Germain Ifedi who is actually playing right now. Also Henry broke records his rookie year not his ankle like Butler. Hell even Ogbah has done better and he plays for the Browns.

I think Butler has definitely shown flashes. I agree though, a first rounder is usually something more than depth. However, I'd rather have a great player behind an All-star than a bust. 

It's not just that but he's buried by depth. You want a number one to start by year two.

Although he doest play OT or TE, Michael Thomas is one player that would have been huge. Plus he wouldnt be on the Stains.

I'm not seeing why people are still bringing up Hunter Henry like he is some great player that we missed out on. He would still be a backup much like Vernon is.

That's the thing.... But let isn't a great player. A flash here and there doesn't mean poo

Word. It was a shitty draft. Michael Thomas is nice. Hunter Henry hasn’t done much, Ifedi sucks, Yannick down in Jacksonville is a hell of a pass rusher, but wasn’t projected to go that high. Pretty much all of the top of that class has dissapointed

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
