"Blah blah blah Morgan got the wrong pick"

Hey fat guys, if you all were so brilliant you would be GM's but you don't seem to yell as hard and scream as loud when you are wrong about something as you do when you are correct. Everytime something happens there are fifty fat guys that run here to say "Told ya so". A clock is right twice per day. If Morgan needs advice on pie eating contests or banging subpar looking women I'm sure he will give you a call.

Dude. You seem a little triggered here. Sadly the fan base has been right more often than not over the past 6 years about major decisions the Panthers FO has made. 

You don't necessarily have to look at the player, you have to look at the tendencies of the front office. Players with high RAS scores that need a lot of development in early rounds. Development isn't something we've really excelled at. Paying big FA contracts for guys that were not good. 

JMO, but I think we've reading the flow of the drafts poorly and drafted out of panic several times and been at the tail end of runs instead of the beginning. I also think we've built the team poorly by constantly "retooling" instead of just embracing a rebuild. We've paid positions in FA we should have been drafting, and trying to fill key spots with draft picks because we have no other option from bad contracts. 

Bryce is not the QB I wanted. I still think we overpaid. I wanted AR with the right coach, but that wasn't Frank, so my then my default was Stroud. We started him when he had no business starting, which was made obvious in Seattle, and then doubled down the rest of the season to prolonged failure. Then this off-season he was handed the keys with no competition for a performance that was cut worthy except for his draft position. The last 3 games haven't proven anything to me yet. Even mediocre QBs have had short stretches of good games. We're going to need season 3 to see if he can pull it all together and season 4 to make sure he's not Daniel Jones before offering a massive contract off a single good year. We've had enough bad contracts for 1 year wonders. 

I don't like how this team has been operating and the path they've taken to build. We're not replicating what successful teams do. The Tepper way hasn't worked for the past 6 years and there's been zero sustained success in franchise history. It's hard to criticize fans for being pessimistic or critical about the way things are done when they've never seen 9 wins back to back years in 3 decades.

Like you would think that those same people would be happy that he's heading to IR as it reduces the chance of us winning games while brining a talented player back next year..

We can only hope so.  2 consecutive ACL tears really puts a damper on that.

Has it been reported as another ACL? Dam I hate that for him time to grab a 4th rd RB

Nothing yet, but at face value that's what it looked like. Fingers crossed we get lucky

He was tied for seventh in the league in drops before today (on the second-fewest targets). He's better suited for being a kick returner and the fact that whenever he drops the kickoff it'll likely just be a touchback. That said, yeah, there's some hyperbole in there.

He was 11th according to what I was told earlier, but, yeah, that's hardly historic. That being said, his hands have been a huge disappointment. If he can't figure that out, then a Cordarelle Patterson type of career may be in his future.

as long as he is getting open I think you can work with his drops.  Its not really a mingo level type situation IMO

Didn’t Thomas Davis tear his ACL/MCL like 3 times early on in his Panthers career?And he overcame his injuries and had a great career!! Hopefully Brooks can do the same!! Minus having more injuries!!Fingers crossed  

LBs don't have to make the same hard cuts and change of directions RBs do.

But hoping for the best but non contact injurys tend to be a very bad sign ...

It's official. 

He will likely never contribute to this team. Unless he's Deonta Foreman 2.0

I feared as much. I feel for the guy. He knew it as soon as it happened.

Colossal blunder by Morgan.  No other way to spin it.   3 picks all for naught 

[emhoward]

Ouch. 1st, I feel bad for the kid. 2nd. Dumb decision my Morgan, and I felt that way when he was drafted. 

[emhoward]

If I'm a GM, I'm not taking a RB in the first two rounds unless they are a transcendent talent. Brooks was good, but nowhere near transcendent.
