Honestly, just stash him on season ending IR. It isn't that relevant. We have enough decent production there. 

Let him heal up and be at 100% in 2025.

If he is 100%, I wouldn't mind seeing him in a few games in Dec.  But only if he is 100%

Infuriating as it may be for him to get a new injury or the repair not hold up, you would at least know that you couldn’t count on the player before spending an offseason believing he was good to go.. 

it does happen to players through no one’s fault. Bodies are unique.  

Had he been healthy, I would have been upset to spend a top two round pick on a RB. To spend it on a guy coming off a serious injury that cannot play is even more frustrating. 

Oh well, it is what it is. Hopefully we can get a full rookie contract out of him and he is very productive before moving on. 

It just seems so very Panthers to keep making these kind of mistakes over and over.

Depending on the scenario, sure. Get him up to speed with the team/scheme. If we have one of our RB's really rolling at that point, no reason to slow that down. Get him into the rotation, maybe. Or if our running game has been fairly pedestrian to that point, maybe see if he can inject some life into it.

They obviously plan on him taking the main role, moving forward into this new offense. 

At the very least, get him some reps in a real game so he knows what that is. 
 

Health allowing.

Looks like our 3rd and 4th round picks are going to contribute more this year than our 1st and second

Maybe. That still remains to be seen. 

They definitely seem to be further along, albeit in one case just due to injury.

I believe Brooks is the most pro-ready but RB generally has far less of a learning curve than most positions.

It’s always pass blocking holding the young ones up.

Who actually has looked worse than TMJ

You guys can do that, but I am not judging a rookies performance with the garbage coaching staff we had last year. Football is so fine tuned, you have to be put into a position to succeed no matter how good you are. Same thing we heard about Bryce, the offensive line and our WRs. We did nothing to play to their strengths ( or really even coach IMO ). These guys were all put into a position to fail.
