i saw recently that we got a compensatory pick for letting Mark Jones go. He signed with the Titans last year and lost his job early. He was the best returner for the Panthers since Smitty. We have been looking for a good returner for so long, found one, and let him go...Why? Anyway i'm pretty sure he's available and if so i think we should def get him...thoughts

rule changes would have made him less effective. ask yourself why the titans let him go? he's been let go from 3 teams in 3 years. you have to wonder why.

we can do better and they are looking at legit options this year to improve special teams.

mark jones is gone and should be gone. move forward. quit looking at a mediocre past and longing for it.

This is true... however, he was a journeyman long before the rules changes.. so I have to think maybe that wasn't the only issue, if the issue at all..

I may be "mis-remembering", but wasn't the reason due to a failed physical?

We passed up a solid return guy.... for a guy who got cut and was the next coming of Steve Smith.. (or so many huddle fans seemed to think)

If he had of been a step or two faster he would have had numerous touchdowns for us. He always made the right decision and hit the right hole, only to eventually be tackled from behind. I don't know if I've ever seen a returner with as good of field vision and decision-making as Mark Jones. If only he had the wheels.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
