Well there’s something to be said about spending a mid second on a soon to be starting RB vs spending a top ten pick on a QB that won’t see the field for 2+ years

Just pointing out that you are advocating the same thing that we mocked a rival for doing. I'm glad you already know how it will all work out. I apologize for upsetting you. Maybe you don't even need to watch anymore then.

Wut. What we did isn’t really similar to what the falcons did at all. Top ten is way different than middle of the second. Guy that will play this year vs a guy that won’t. Big difference.

If he's the guy that we wanted at pick 39, then we came out ahead by trading down and getting the same guy but picking up a 2nd round pick next year in the process.

Yep. Explained well.

Wasn't my favorite (Benson was), but I still liked him a lot. It was pretty obvious we were into him though.

I think we managed the situation pretty damn well.

From what I heard he was doing better than Bijan until he got hurt. Was like 13 yards from Bijan’s yards when he got injured. 

Bijan would have had even better stats if Ewers didn’t get hurt in 2022. Teams knew Texas was going to be giving him the ball. Ewers was very good last year and Brooks benefited from that. Either way I like this pick and think Brooks will be a tone setting RB the Panthers have missed since Stewart retired.

So once again we lazer focused on one guy and didn't react to how the Draft fell. Got it.

Had our INSTANT 10 year starter at center sitting right there for the taking. Can't wait to bump this thread whenever Corbett gets hurt and Bryce is going ram rodded up the middle because we wanted to get cute just like we always do.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
