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…

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
