Probably, but I am rooting for the kid. He went to high school with my kids and by all accounts is a really good guy.

Just goes to show you how hard it is to actually play in the NFL.  Big time recruit, good college career... and now hoping for practice squad.

Has to be a humbling business - especially when you’ve basically given your life to your craft.

Interesting that the Panthers chose to bring him back as they seemed to me enamored with players that mirrored CMC’s skill set.

Hood’s skill set is closer to Anderson’s.

He still has one of the best high school highlight tapes that I’ve ever seen from a North Carolina football player, just runs over player after player.

I think we still want a power RB on the roster. 

If we're going to stick with the two active RB philosophy, I'd like to see us get more strategic with it based on the match up. Get another RB that better mirrors CMC in terms of being a good runner in space with receiving ability, but alternate him with a power running like Hood in terms of who suits up and who sits week to week based on that particular match up. If it's a stout run D, play CMC-lite. Weak run D that we can beat up on the ground, play the power guy.

Re-signed

Don't mean to be a dick, but the way things go these days I have no idea if a dude has signed a new contract or quit the team due to some off the field issues. That hyphen is important.

Thank  you.  I thought he hung em up.

Hope he is better with capitalization to avoid similar misconceptions:   image.png.971f3435531f1c27877ac2f741fdeb06.png

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
