Passed on Zach Frazier for him 😒

There's a word for this situation. I'm having trouble remembering what it is. 

Oh yeah...

Sh-t 😖

Sometimes I feel like the panthers just out think themselves evaluating talent in the draft.  Draft the healthy dudes with good college production and good upside. Stop investing high picks into project players (legette/mingo) or injured players (brooks).

I nearly forsaken Morgan when he traded up to draft Brooks. Just waste then and ultra waste now. This team more than nearly any other needs talent. Starters are drafted in the 2nd not backups getting 6 carries, just terrible.

 

He's learning too along with others....

Things have gone bad for JB and coming off injury is definitely hard to defend.  He did show talent although very briefly.

A second round back is fine if he is a difference maker.   A top 5 RB is fine.  I don't think anyone would disagree that Barkley has led the Eagles to the brink of a championship.  

Depends on the talent of the RB.  

Barkley isn't a Philly draft pick.

It wouldn't matter if it was, TBH. It rings hollow unless Philly wins a SB.

 

I mean the team that drafted him 2nd overall just let him leave in FA. 

 

Not just smart teams, nearly the whole league has colluded together and just not paying RBs. Smart teams were doing this 20 years ago, most of the league has caught up. 

 

Look at what king Henry got 8 million per, same as freaking chubba. Many others got around that numbers, its a sad state. You'd rather be a slot WR now, that get more money and years.

There's always room. They paid Burns a insane deal.

There's always room for game changing talent....

It's who they prioritize, though.

Joe Schoen has a pretty good rep when it comes to talent scouting. As a team manager though, not so much.

LOL, he had a good chance to break Eric Dickerson's record if he wanted too.  He has been every bit worth that pick.  Give me a player better in that draft?

Stop drafting wrs with high picks lol. We drafted legette, Mingo, and TMJ in recent years and none of them have worked out thus far. 

I don't mind taking runningbacks high if they're someone special like Barkley.

If you don't have a good line in place though, that's not gonna make up for it.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
