That thing you smell is Trevor Lawrence

I dont know, you still need a good RB to go with a quote stud QB. Maybe, but you try to trade and get value before just waiving him. Something doesn't jive here. I am almost positive they called around and asked about a trade before they released him, we did the same thing with Cam. The fact that no one was interested in a trade tells you all you need to know. I am still floored that it took Cam forever to land on a team, especially considering Cam's community relations, sponsorship, and potential.

It was rumored he was on the outs for awhile after he had that issue on the sideline with Marrone last season or the season before...

I've always had a soft spot for Jax because they got their team the same year as us and my grandpa lived there my whole life, so I had the connection...  but man, how far have they fallen from the team on the rise that they were?  Minutes from beating the Pats and getting to the Superbowl, but they got scared and shrunk in the moment...  OC choked trying to hide Bortles, but they wouldn't run aggressively either, then the defense folded...

Bortles gone.  Ramsey gone.  Telvin Smith gone (and likely about to be incarcerated).  Yannick gone.  Calais Campbell gone.  And now Fournette...  just incredible.

He had been getting into it with Marrone for a while now.

He had something like 1100 rushing 500 passing yards last season. Even so I don't doubt that he couldn't be traded, even on the rookie contract. Runningbacks are a dime a dozen, and with late round picks you can get 70-80% of the production that an "elite" runningback would get. Not many teams are overvaluing runningbacks like in the past these days, as it's being shown year in and out that you don't need one to win the big game, and teams that have one aren't necessarily doing well.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
