Panthers shopping TMJ?

Not sure why some are downing last year’s draft because our second rounder has been injured. 
 

All reports suggest Horn is exactly who we hoped. BC has been said to be the most improved player on the roster and is projected to start. Hubbard is a serviceable back and will play. Keith Taylor and Shi Smith have shown promise. 

That looks like at least an average draft, and TMJ could show out if healthy.

Was really excited about the pick, but there were injury concerns prior and he was most certainly a Joe Brady guy.

So the 63 million dollar head coach and Scott Fitterer just let Joe Brady make the pick? They didn't want him?

I don't believe this. But we need to get him on the field catching touchdown passes. We draft this kid in the second round sign Robby Anderson to a good sized contract extension and then proceed to not even give TMJ a gameday jersey in the second half of the season when we had nothing to play for. So why are there people in this thread diving in front of Matt Rhule criticism again?

Everyone wants him to play up to his potential especially a coach on the hot seat. A some point he’s going to have to play through minor injuries and prove himself.

When it comes to the Rhule-circus that David Tepper created, I wouldn't be surprised if Joe Brady's friend's 3 year old daughter made the pick.

Some facts. 

His high draft position pretty much guarantees his roster spot. 

His lack of production gives his zero trade value. 

His second round status has trade value. It might be a 5th or 6th, but there is value there. NFL teams do low risk, high reward trades all the time. See CJ Henderson. Or Baker Mayfield.

I'd say the 2021 draft is looking a little shaky at the moment. 

Horn SHOULD pan out but after that it will depend on the rest of the group. TMJ isn't looking good and BC is a TBD. The rest of the draft appears to be largely JAG/depth guys that may or may not pan out. If we get 2 guys from that 4th-7th round group on second contracts as role players on second contracts, that's a passing grade. If we get a starter from that group, it's a great grade.

If TMJ and/or BC don't pan out, it isn't looking good for that class.

I get not wanting to count Marshall's injury against him, but the problem there is that when he was drafted, he was a known injury risk.

It's really starting to look like his body might not be able to take the pounding of the NFL.

Fair point, he was known to be injury prone. Sometimes the best ability is availability

For the record, I was saying “Rhule ruined him” half way jokingly because surely he must have screwed this up too since he underperformed last year, not just health wise.  The offense did not get the best out of our receivers and certainly wasn’t a good environment to develop a young rookie.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X.

      OK, now it's time to discuss a couple of yesterday's problems. Let's talk "Evero."

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
