i actually knew of deangelo back then, only caz he holds the NCAA recod for most all purpose yards. he was arguably the greatest college player of all time (at his position at the very least) and yet nobody had any idea who he was, caz he was overshadowed by bush.

i honestly didnt think deangelo had a shot in hell at coming to the panthers, when we got him i shat myself. its too bad he wasted 2-3 years behind foster.

that's funny, i called the pick before the draft. i wasn't fan of foster at all. i called stewart too.

Not likely......Lendale isn't one to take performance enhancers' date=' it's much more likely that he smoked a metric ton of weed before a drug test.[/quote']Yeah, that's kind of what I meant by "in a way". Not that I thought it was the same failed drug/performance enhancing substance test, but just the fact that there was a known issue that stays hidden until, there is suddenly a four game suspension. Probably too many legal aspects to this issue, but it just seems silly that Cushing failed a test before the 2009 season and received a 4 game suspension starting this year. I'm wondering if White's case has the same sort of timeline.

About the drugs in professional sports...why does the players only get suspensions, if a regular working man failed a drug test they'd get fired and loose their jobs completely. So if a player (ricky williams, brian cushing, jp, lendale white, etc.) Gets busted for using drugs then why aren't they banned from professional sports. It shouldn't matter how good they are or what profit they can bring to organizations, its a bad example for upcoming players...they know if they get caught they'll have to skip 4-6 weeks of the season and still be able to bank more than most people with bachelors degrees. Well back on topic I can see lendale going to the saints to help reggie become the player he was in college. Cuz without lendale-reggie is nothing and vice versa. Just have to keep lendale away from the vicaden cabinet :D

Probably because the amount of money and time invested in that player. And yes the money they rank is probably a factor too.

I seriously don't understand athletes sometimes. When I'm about to apply for a MINIMUM WAGE job I always make sure there is no chance I'll fail a drug test. These guys are looking at million dollar paydays and can't stay clean?

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
