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

      Panthers Vs Bucs OFFICIAL THREAD

      By Achilles · Posted

      Seems to me that the Bucs have less fight in them now than they had in week 16. The real test is going to be if the Panthers can sustain focus and discipline throughout. With the Bucs being at home, maybe that gives them a little boost of confidence and energy.  Wouldn’t it be something if for ONCE the Panthers came out and dominated from the opening snap and just took this shook Bucs team to task?  If the Panthers see-saw form follows, we are in line for the W. Hard to say we have momentum but we do have a pretty clear pattern of following a loss with a win.  I’m going to say 24-16 Panthers!!

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      By aloysius snuffleupagus · Posted

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
