The draft is a gamble. 

It is but dayum, maximize  your chances buy getting someone who can at very least walk onto the field... I will start ragging Morgan if he pulls this crap again...

Especially a position you can get a solid player at in the 5th round. If it was an elite QB or Pass rusher that fell to the 2nd because of injury I would get it, we shouldn't have even been looking at healthy running backs in the 2nd considering all of our needs in other areas.

I just hope they learn from it.

True, but when you use a pick on a guy that already has a major injury, its a much bigger gamble.  

fug man. Every human breaks. Every human gets injured. I get it, we drafted a running back on recovering knee. This sure feels worse than drsfting a healthy player that doesn't make the cut, or loses his knee in rookie season.

They tried to sneak a number 1 pick in the second round. Bit them. I have little doubt that several other teams were planning to take him within ten picks of when we did. BUT i think those risks Are unnecessary given the positional value. I could better understand a gamble on an OT, DE, etc.

Well, I'm always for the team doing their best to aquire talent.  So I'm alright with it. It's the way of life in the NFL. 

We’ve done such a poo job bringing on draft talent for years now. “Doing their best” has been terrible and we continue to take risky, old and raw talent and it’s not working. It amazes me when people are happy with the results and defend the team with every move. Morgan needs to knock this draft out of the park or we’ll continue to win participation trophies.

Brooks wasn’t a first rounder and the ACL was too risky considering the 2025 RB class was loaded and there were several day 3 guys in the draft that looked like a great compliment.

I had no issue with drafting him he's very talented. My issue is bringing him back at all this year this year was always going to be struggle Street. Should of let the man heal for longer 

I agree that it was dumb to risk it but his ACL was likely to tear and it would have sucked more if it happened week 1 2025. That said you should have an issue with drafting him in round 2 if you thought he shouldn’t play in 2024. If he’s not going to play then you have to compare him to the 2025 RB draft class and with the talent and depth, Brooks wasn’t likely a 3rd or more likely a 4th based on injury risk in 2025.

Uninjured he was seen as one by some teams, certainly early second. Especially pre injury. So not sure what your babbling about.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
