Derrick Henry may be out for the season now. Investing big in rbs is looking more and more dicey in the nfl these days.

 

Abdullah was a great signing, really liked the up tempo dual rb threat with Chuba. Solid 2 running back rotation for under $2 million. 49ers and Bears have been doing the same thing with cheap backups/rookies

I was referring to his new contract but yeah they got an excellent return on their draft value there. Unreal that Bradberry was our only successful pick that year.

Didn’t see he signed a 50 mill contract last year. Yikes. Although if I had to bet for a rb to be worth a 2nd contract it would’ve been Henry just based on how he’s built. He’s like the Cam of rbs.

Traditionally big backs tend of have shorter careers. Henry definitely earned his money but I am still generally against spending wildly on a RB in thr modern NFL.

The Tennessee situation is a little different in that their offense is largely completely built around Henry. Which....that isn't a smart way to build an offense, IMO.

It’s not at all but Henry is freakish which is why I said if I absolutely had to bet it would’ve been on Henry. Obviously that’s not working out lol

Yeah, that usage rate is just insane and Henry is such a physical carrier. That just isn't sustainable unless Henry is just one of those rare freaks that doesn't break down.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
