I don't necessarily think Trent Scott getting the nod at LT is a weird idea.

He might not keep it, but hey...

It was the "plays well" part that I consider bold. I think he's okay, but I'm hoping the Christensen pick pushes him to work his ass off. If he can be better than average, I'll be thrilled.

- Will Grier comes on in relief and helps us win a Football Game (He even throws a TD pass)

- Shi Smith will ret 2 Punts for TD's

- Deonte Brown catches a TD Pass playing TE in a Jumbo Package at the Goal Line

Agree with @rayzorthat Rhule wins Coach of the Year.

How could he not when he pulls this off?:

Last year, Panthers only averaged 21.9 PPG (10 behind GB).  This year that jumps to an average of 30.6 per game.

And couple that with our D only allowing 20.2 per game, vs the 25.1 a year ago.  (from -3.2 to +10.4.

Surprise winner of the Division.

15 TDs for CMC.

Hmm my bold prediction...

- Shaq Thompson doesnt make the pro bowl but is in the conversation for DPOY

- CMC comes just short of 1000/1000 again. 

- DJ Moore is top 3 in yards 

- The MVP of the d line is Brown

- Darnold has 8 come from behind games this year. Including a game where he put up 45+ points.

I’ll just take a snippet from what I posted yesterday.

1. Terrace Marshall becomes Dwayne Jarrett. (On the field not off the field, I hear y’all crying already).

2. Panthers fail at LT again. Christenson becomes a long term guard though.

3. Will Grier beats out PJ Walker

4. Sam Darnold proves himself and keeps the job going into next year. 
 

5. Bouye and Perryman are failed experiments.

6. Panthers trade Shaq Thompson at season end.

7. Donte Jackson gets franchise tagged at season end and traded or over payed.
 

8. Paradis gets resigned.

Sam Darnold throws for over 4,000 yards.

I don't see that happening. 

Not because of any problems with Darnold - I think he's going to be great.   But I predict the Panthers are going to have a very balanced offense next year.  A strong rushing attack helps  support Darnold and plays to the teams new strengths (Deonte Brown, David Moore, a healthy CMC, Chuba).  

Last year the Panthers were 21st in rushing.  This year it will be top 10.

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
