Duke Johnson is amazing.

Yeah, I had the same thought. Really surprised he isn’t signed with someone right now. Especially with the Ravens and 49ers injury issues.

Hes not been a great runner out of the backfield so I guess that’s why, but he really is a poor mans James White which is certainly worth having.

Then why isn’t he on a team. Not saying he is garbage but he has been to a couple team tryouts and not signed.

Just mentioned on another comment that he’s never been that great of a runner out of the backfield. He’s really a WR but with a RBs body. He’s fast but he’s not a burner and he’s never been good as a traditional RB. But I view him as a poor mans James White and a reliable check down for Darnold on 3rd and long. 
 

He’s not an elite RB but he’s damn good catching balls and can make something happen in space. I will feel MUCH better with someone like him because Hubbard just isn’t comfortable catching passes at this point.

Do you think Hubbard is big enough to be 1,2 down back?

I guess we are about to find out. He hit his stride later in the game last night and was a damn good runner in college. I don’t know if he’s a 1,2 down back but I trust him more in that role than I do trusting him as an outlet for Darnold on 3rd and 8

All he has to do is get first downs and keep the chains moving.  We don't need him to break off 80 yard runs.  He also has to be able to block linebackers.  If he can do that well I say bring his ass on board.

Averages 5 yards a carry. Nearly 5k career all-purpose yards and 20 TDs.

I've never been able to understand why he's not been used more in the NFL. I don't think we'll sign him, because life isn't that fair, but I think he's a brilliant player.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
