If we draft a rookie QB he makes perfect sense for us. This dude is still a game changer if he has a legit QB to take pressure off him.

 

I think a contender goes after him but I wouldn't be mad if he came here.

Sorry, but those statements are contradictory.  I agree with the second part, but that doesn't mesh with the first.  Usually you need a solid running to take pressure off a rookie QB.  Henry still has it, no doubt, but he's high priced and high mileage, neither of which I'm down with.

We just got rid of one very expensive RB.  Probably not in a hurry to sign another one.  Production from the RB position can be had so cheaply, in so many ways today that I dont see why any team would hand out a huge contract to one.

I wouldn't be in favor of it, but you never know.

I’d rather we wait and see what the Colts may do with Jonathan Taylor. An article a few weeks back (no link) expects them to try and trade him. He’d be worth a 3rd rounder at best and would add another strong runner to complement Hubbard if it happened. JMO

Plus he's not really a part of the receiving game, though it has happened in spurts. With the multifaceted RBs coming out of college, being able to be part of the passing game is essential for these older backs. It's one reason I'm not a huge fan of Chuba. Dude has hands of stone.

Too many miles, too much wear and tear and getting old in RB years.  Not too mention the money he would require.  The days of the 'bell cow' RB are over.  Sure, it's still around, but rarer as time goes on. Plus, plenty of FAs and a deep draft this year at RB.

Hard pass.

He needs to go to Buffalo for a mid pick and Tenn will probably have to eat most of that contract...

This is probably why we want make a decision about moving up in the draft sooner vs later.  It really lets us know how to address FA with potential holes in our roster.  Our first 4 picks (2 in the 2nd) right now could be potential starters....

i rly dont want to hurt ourselves over foreman

Yeah I agree.  Let him walk.  Our OL did a great job in run blocking last year.  Just draft someone like Tank Bigsby in the 4th round and roll with him, Chuba, and a cheap vet.

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Panthering · Posted

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
