Could we deactivate M. Jones?

Yea I don't understand why people automatically assume a good player playing on special teams will just magically get hurt, or is more prone to getting hurt while doing that than his normal position.

Plus I would rather Williams get 95% of the carries this postseason anyway. May as well give Stewart his carries on ST.

No, Jones is a playmaker on ST. Plus Jarrett should be activated for the game anyways... averages 12 yds a catch mostly on 3rd downs + clutch situations and caught a 25 yrder on 3rd down in the SD game to help set up the game winning catch. I also will be wearing my black Jarrett jersey to the game so just one more reason to activate Jarrett :D

Some people just don't get it. We've been in this no RB situation before....so go ahead, hell throw them all back there. Get this far to make stupid ass decisions, and let's see who cries then.

Nobody said he would get hurt...but we didn't come this far to find out either!

Jones may be a play maker if your judging it the same way you would judge the way NC state plays offense, but in reality he is not a huge threat.

He is secure and safe with the ball though, which is good.

He isn't the worse KR in the league by far, but he is far from elite. I don't mind Jones at all, but still the idea of the OP isn't not bad either.

So if the great Mark Jones gets injured, who do you put back there? Gamble?

Get real.

Really a shot at state in the Carolina Panthers forum :nono:

I'm judging on what I've seen from the past few games and I've seen a guy get it out toe the 30's the majority of the time and last time I check starting from the 30's is a hell of a lot better than starting from your 20 or under

How is it such a stupid decision? I am saying we should replaceca good punt returner with a great one who is a playmaker. In my crazy decision we would also have a 4th capable WR ready in case one gets hurt or we fall behind. Doesn't sound to stupid to me.

This thread reminds me of this train of thought:

I've been getting 45mpg with this great new ride I have, and have now racked up 20,000 miles on my car and tires, so I'm gonna pull over, take off a tire and save it for when I get further down the road, so I don't wear them all out at once so quickly, and be prepared just in case I have a flat.

10 miles down the road...what did you have to replace next?

:D :rofl:

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
