RIP to the fullback position

I don't think I would judge any pass catcher on last years performance given that we had the worst qb/coaching combo in the league for part of the year, and even after Rhule was gone, we only had two games in which we threw the ball more than 25 times.  Prime Antonio Gates wouldn't have caught many balls for us last year.

Would he have caught more than 8?

I don't think I would qualify any of our tight ends from last year as very good receiving tight ends when they averaged .25 receptions a game

True but remember the TE was rarely used much in the passing game during the previous regime. More like an extra OL. Reich is already known for using the TE more prominently in the his offensive schemes.

Its ashame. I miss watching guys like Brad Hoover and Mike Alstot. Just big physical dudes bowling people over

Ouch. Hoover JAG and Alstott GOAT in the same sentence. 

I know you guys loved Hoover but damn, he is not even a RoH panthers player, much less in the same breath as Alstott.

Are Fullbacks a Dying Breed in Today's NFL? | News, Scores ...
 
Fullbacks are a dying breed. Many colleges, due to the proliferation of the spread offense, no longer use true fullbacks, so the feeder system to the NFL has evaporated. For some players, the position simply isn't glamorous enough. "Nobody ever grows up wanting to be a fullback,

I know right? Panther fans are notorious for over-hyping their own players. You can't trust fans to have a realistic evaluation of their own players. The interwebz with all its Fandoms and Homerisms is ruining the game for us real fans. Not to mention Madden and Fantasy Football. They're the worst. lol

Way to troll, sure hype your guys, but realistically. 

We have some great Panthers players in our history, Hoover is not one of them. It was fun to yell his name at the stadium but thats about it.

You using Realistically is kinda funny. lol

 

So what you are really saying is that anyone that doesn't agree with your take on Burns and Hoover are just Homers with no real ability to judge a players worth?

Where did I say that? If you think Hoover is an all time great FB thats cool, I will question your player evaluation, but its still cool.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, once you form that opinion people can agree or disagree, thats how it works. Thats why we have the pie, poo, etc. reactions...

Burns is in the other thread....

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
