You get it. Suggesting a RB is borderline insanity. We just wasting picks if that's the case. So what do we do with Brooks when he comes back the following season?

 

Like cmon people think this stuff out.

There is absolutely no way this team should even remotely have brooks as part of any long term planning at this point.  It's a sunk cost.  Anything you can get from him down the road is a luxury.  I've got a strong feeling he's toast.  

 

As for drafting a guy the only person I would draft high would be Hampton in the 3rdish other then that just burn a 6th or 7th on someone for a back up role.

Why tho?

Why not just sign a vet RB for cheap. I can understand if we didn't have a elite RB already, but we do! If we going offense it should be WR not another backup RB.

 

Watching this football team and RB is the last thing I would think about in the draft. It's so easy to pickup a backup RB. We drafted Brooks and failed. Don't take another risk like that. There are quality RBs available in FA for dirt cheap.

Should be a latter pick and they need to be healthy. Brooks isn't anything until he can prove he is which won't be soon, he should be basically non-existent as far as planning goes. 

If it's an early pick then these people should get fired.

11 carries for 31 yards is dogshit. Draft someone in the later rounds.

You literally judged him off 1 game in which the entire team played bad.

 

Yeah continue to waste picks on a freaking RB. This is the Panthers way. 

 

Triple trouble Chuba/Scataway/Brooks.

A 6th rd pick is cheaper

My goodness!

We need more than Hubbard who's arguably a top 5 RB. So you want to spend another draft pick on yet another RB to backup a top 5 RB.

 

I don't get it. I just don't get it.

Yes. We need more than Hubbard.  Who isn’t a top 5 RB.  And go check the last draft, teams with great RBs….drafted RBs in rounds 4-5. You complete and  build backfields in the draft where it is cheap and you can find talent.  

and our PG QB that loves to play small could 100% use a recieving RB to compliment Hubbard and be there for when he eventually gets hurt

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
