Remember Deshaun Foster?

I keep reading in the paper and on various message boards that Jake is our best QB so we have to go with him. Ok, isn't John Fox the same head coach who ran Deshaun over DeAngelo for 2 or 3 years before finally realizing he was making a mistake? Same thing goes for Jake, eventually he will have to suck up his pride and bench the man because everyone who looks at the Panthers sees the same thing we all do. A QB who is making the offense one dimensional and having the head coach adjust to his weak arm instead of replacing him.

From what I remember we went through the same thing with Stephen Davis. I believe it finally took Davis to step down from the starting nod.

and there was a list a mile long by some why DeAngelo shouldn't be given the role and Fumblin Foster was still the best option despite his faults.

NEWSFLASH - when a player sucks EPIC BALLS like Jake and Foster. You bench them.

Word!

You can't keep saying we don't have better options without knowing what Moore is capable of doing in the field. And to find out, you have to play him.

don't forget that our O-line sucked EPIC BALLS every second that foster started on this team.

DeAngelo made plays behind that same OL. DeAngelo didn't hurt the team each week.

Foster left and went to SF....the only time you probably saw him last year is when Singletary ripped his head of and shiat down his neck for fumbling.

and foster didn't hurt the team when he was running behind davis. i'm not getting down on williams or saying foster was any good, i'm saying that the whole offense improved greatly at the same time williams was promoted to starter.

but in 07 Foster hurt the team and DeAngelo was running behind the same line and showed he was a better option....that is the point.

The 2003 season earned many guys too many extra years. Fosters' 03 season was highly overrated b/c of 2 plays.

That is continuing right now with our QB situation. John Fox is too loyal to one of the worst QB's in the league. At one time Jake was halfway decent, those years are LONG GONE.

Revisionist history at its best. Foster started because he was the best back in 2006 and the first part of 2007. With his continued fumbles, decreasing YPC and William's increased grasp of pass blocking and willingness to run between the tackles instead of always take it outside, DeAngelo emerged as a legitimate option and consequently got more playing time until he was the feature back at the end of the season. He was soft in 2007 and was called out by Testeverde for not wanting to be in there every play and giving 100%. He many times would pull himself out for a blow after a long run or a series or two. It wasn't until 2008 that he actually worked out seriously and put 100% into it and the results were amazing.

Fox put him in there when he was the best option and showed he could do the job. Just like he put in Stewart sparingly at first and has worked him more as he has developed and picked up the pass blocking in particular. This whole "only going with vets and being too loyal" flies in the face of the fact that we have started several rookies over veterans over the past several years right out of the box. These urban legends get repeated so much people think they are true.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
