What were some of your reactions when we took Jonathan Stewart in the 2008 draft? Honestly, for me, I was like, "Fox, Hurney, what the hell are you doing?"(well, worse than that!) Looking back, two years later, it was one of their 'better moves'!

I just hope we are lucky again in this years draft............

I figured they wanted a 1-2 punch. I also figured they wanted a player more like Stephen Davis to pound the rock. The fact is we have the idiots in the FO of the Lions and Raiders to thank. Gosder Cherilous was selected to play RT by the Lions just two picks before. Then the Raiders took Darren McFadden instead of The Daily Show. That was a very good draft for us. Godfrey and Connor also were part of that year. The Lions on the other hand passed on Ray Rice for Kevin Smith.

i had been keen on him during the offseason. He seemed like a good fit for our system since D-will had not proven he could run between the tackles consistently at that time. honetly, i think the competition generated between the two of them, although friendly, has driven them both to develop into exceptional RB's.

To me, that draft solidified the teams identity, we needed a bruiser at RB, and a mauler at RT. we got them both.

Not going to lie I thought it was a bad pick, but at the time I was unaware of the effectiveness of the two-back system. And for this very reason I choose not to doubt the Panthers front office until they are proven completely wrong i.e. the Delhomme scandal

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
