Jacoby Ford. we need a return guy, we havent had one since he hate me. and Ford has got the speed. not only that, but he is a good reciever. he has the small receiver menality that smith has. and we all know we need a receiver to put out there with smith.

it would be worth a shot to get a receiver with his speed. literally one of a kind. if receiving doesn't work out at least we know he can work as a returner

I agree. No more using CB's and safeties (and Rosario???) for kick returns!! Ford would be awesome! I've seen him for the past few years in Clemson and he is a stud. Hey, since it seems we are ditching everyone's contracts in preparing for a work stoppage in 2011, maybe we could trade our first round pick for that year to get him! Ha Ha!

only problem w/ Ford is he has speed but wasn't even close to being the best WR to come out of Clemson the past 5 years.........and nobody hears a word about the guy that imo was clearly a better WR. I don't even think he was drafted and just was picked up. I wouldn't mind him but I would hate to spend a 2nd round pick on him. I think he would be a good return man.

Yeah, he's fast but not really all that good at football. On the bright side for him, there's always the Raiders.

yep, any Clemson fan will tell you he is a track kid that plays football. Not a football player who ran track.

I don't see him doing much in the NFL as a WR....maybe a return man but a return man ain't worth a high draft pick.

I don't know what Clemson fans you have been talking to. He is a baller. Plain and simple. If he works on his route running he could become the most dangerous WR in the NFL.

I'm a huge Clemson fan, but even I know his route running needs improvement if he is to succeed in the NFL.

Whose college career have you been watching? Ford was half the WR Kelly was....he just had twice the speed.

a kick ass 40 time (which you knew he would run the best or top 2)....and now people want to think that makes him better than what he was. I like Ford. He could be a great return man....he didn't show enough in college to be that high on him as a WR in the NFL. He never was elite in college and only showed flashes of his tremendous (and it is) speed.

I wouldn't mind Carolina drafting him....but he is not worth a 2nd round pick. A legit Clemson fan imo wouldn't want to use the 1st pick on him. A later one, sure.

I'm a legit Clemson fan and if he is available in the 3rd, we need to ****** his ass up. Dude is the next Steve Smith.

      Top RB performances in Panthers history

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      DeAngelo Williams: 1515 yards (2008) Steven Davis: 1444 yards (2003) Christian McCaffrey: 1387 yards (2019) Chuba Hubbard: 1195 yards (2024) Jonathan Stewart: 1133 yards (2009)   DeAngelo Williams 1515 yards in 2008 are most in Panthers history for a season this was when Double Trouble was at it's height. That year he averaged 94 yards a game. Steven Davis missed 2 games 2003 so he comes in at the most yards per game in a season at 103 yards. Mccaffrey averaged 86 yards a game in his 2019 campaign he also recorded 1005 yards receiving making his season statistically the best in Panthers history for a RB, had the Panthers had a better record he could have been a favorite for MVP. Dowdle currently is averaging 81 yards a game despite only starting 3 games thus far. In the games he has started 206, 183, 130 he's averaging 173 yards. In Green Bay he rushed for 130 despite having a 21 yard run wiped out due to illegal procedure penalty that could of saw a 150 yard day.    Top 5 yards per carry. Dowdle 5:6 (2025) Williams: 5.5 (2008) Stewart: 5.1 (2009) Mccaffrey: 4.8 (2019) Hubbard: 4.7 (2024) If Dowdle continues even close to the pace he's on he's poised to break DeAngelo Williams single season Panther rushing record.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The BY9 situation is classic sunk cost fallacy. We traded premium assets to get him. Every few games he flashes the traits that made him appealing (quick reads, touch, composure) but the macro picture doesnt lie. Hes producing at a bottom-tier level across efficiency metrics in yards per attempt, EPA/play, completion percentage over expected, and explosive plays. Instead of objectively reassessing, the organization continues to justify the investment - new coaches, new systems, new excuses - trying to salvage what was invested. Giving him a 5th year is a self inflicted would.  We need to take our lumps and move on
