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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
