Very possible.  He's good at identifying needs, but so far lacks identifying the talent.  He nailed nearly every position last draft we needed, but I would have got a different player at that position nearly every time.

Same here. But anyone can identify teams needs. GM’s get paid the big bucks to hit on their picks. He needs to do much better. Hated that we made him the GM in the first place.

Well, Morgan jumped the gun with Chuba, IMO.  Maybe by the time Young is up for his contract we could trade Hubbard.  I think Brooks career is already over. It's sad and I hate it or him, but he's got a slim to no chance of bouncing back. I wish him well.  That said, thinking he's our future is really bad planning.

Plus he hasn't looked very special in the limited action before he was injured.  I was expecting more of a pop when he touched the ball.  I'm only half kidding about Jeanty, but I wouldn't hate it if we drafted another running back later in the draft this year.

Chuba's contract is not bad at all. What he jumped the gun on was Brooks. Chuba was already an effective back, so why spend valuable second round resources on another RB, especially one with literally higher price point(at that time)?

I also think we have likely seen the last of Brooks, unfortunately. I know people reference the TD's and Gore's but those are outliers. I highly doubt Brooks will ever be the same RB as he was in college after this. It will take a tremendous amount of mental strength to be able to trust that knee ever again.

Regardless, you have to pivot and get a late round RB or free agent RB unless you want to be stuck with Sanders. Blackshear is not a realistic option as a #2 RB.

I’m more in favor of drafting or picking up an UDFA running back next off-season. Free agency should be focused on beefing up the defense and allowing us to fill out the rest of the holes with draft picks.

Hey, at least we stuck it to Jerry Jones....am I right????????  High Five Tomas Ferraro GIF

Reminds me of Hurley taking Will Grier to beat the Patriots and left Maxx Crosby on the board. We actually had Crosby in as one of our 30 private visits but we took Grier. Fitterer got Mingo before the Cowboys did and I remember the discussion about getting TMJ before the Saints could. Gotta love how we fall on the grenades for other teams.

Although I like Brooks and he was a great player at Texas, even if you remove the injury, picking a RB in the second round was a questionable move. Could have had Zack Frazier and solidified the C position for a decade. Panthers gonna Panther every draft, pass up obviously good players for no obvious reason.

Damn... that sucks so, so bad for him. Just a year and a month after his surgery to basically get a new ACL only to tear it during his third game. Would be nice to hear if whether or not TD hit him up; if there's anybody that can relate to what JB's going through, it's the guy that did it not just twice but three years in a row.

He was looking like he belonged out there too. Fingers crossed that the rehab goes smoother than the previous procedure.

I wonder if this means that the team might try and keep Miles Sanders or move on from him still? He's done alright as the third down back up until the ankle injury.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
