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.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
