I'm excited for his arrival.  The ACL doesn't concern me that much.  And I do agree we probably shouldn't have taken him in the 2nd.  But what's done is done, and at the end of the day he's a very talented runner.  

Lets hope he meets ths Panthers and our expections.

We took the best RB in this draft in the 2nd round. I'm cool with it. I believe if he was healthy he could have went in the 1st. 

If he ends up being the best Panther back in history, I'll change my opinion retroactively to say I was always behind the pick.  But if he doesn't pan out, then I'll exclaim "what were they thinking?!?"

STOP DRAFTING RBs IN THE FIRST 3 ROUNDS!

RBs continue to be a devalued position yet we still continue to waste money and valuable assets on the position. Build and pay the o-line first, then plop any RB in the 3rd-7th round in there. Rinse and repeat every 4 years. Only dumb teams continue to pay RBs 2nd contracts. RBs tend to fall off around the age of 26 anyway.

Panthers and RBs, sooooo farr behind the times. You can say the same for MLB. Rams 2day gave their starting young 130 tac MLB for nothing since they didn't want to pay MLBs. 

Panthers have vastly overpaid and over drafted RBs and MLB since the 2000s. 

First draft of Morgans career he invested 2nd and 3rd rounder on the two most de-value spots. Same old panthers.......

At this point he needs to be one of the better running backs in the league by the end of the season.

Otherwise we could have drafted a center and added an RB in the later rounds.

But I will give him the opportunity to prove himself.

Hopefully the marginal benefit of using that pick is worth the opportunity cost.  Frank Gore Jr. could be had for free now.

Top 15 rushers from 2023 

CMC (1st Round)

Derrick Henry (2nd Round)

Kyren Williams (5th Round)

James Cook (2nd Round)

D'Andre Swift (2nd Round)

James Conner (3rd Round)

Najee Harris (1st Round)

Joe Mixon (2nd Round)

David Montgomery (3rd Round)
Raheem Mostert (UDFA)

Travis Etienne (1st Round)

Tony Pollard (4th Round)
Breece Hall (2nd Round)

Rachaad White (3rd Round)

Bijan Robinson (1st Round)

The next 2 RBs after Bijan?  Saquon and Gibbs, also 1st rounders.

If you want to argue RBs are a devalued position, be my guest.  But lets not act like random 4th rounders and beyond are routinely playing as well as 1st and 2nd rounders.  Like every position, you can find quality players in any round, but your best bet will be in the first 3.  Only 3 of the top 17 rushers were drafted past the 3rd round.

That’s what everyone said about the Lions last year after drafting RB and MLB in the first round…

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
