Former Panthers, Eagles, and Bears DT Darwin Walker is considering a return to the NFL.

"I haven't ruled out the possibility of playing still," said Walker, 33. "I've had a couple of offers. I turned them all down." Walker was out of football all last season. He had a visit with the Lions in August of 2009, but otherwise isn't known to have generated serious interest in free agency.

He was good in rotation back in '08 for us. Could be worth a look at. Would certainly be better than Hayden.

It's a shame that a 36 year old veteran in Hollis Thomas is a better option than a 24 year waste of a roster spot in Nick Hayden.

As far as Darwin Walker goes, I really don't see how he was good in 08'. He recorded 10 tackles in ten games and that is not good. Hayden is bad but Walker is not better than Hayden. Hollis Thomas is the only guy that is over 30 that the Panthers should consider bringing in.

!0 tackles in 10 games sucks if you were in alot particularly on running plays. But he wasn't used that much and had difficulty with back problems following the car accident so he really played okay in very limited time.

But don't worry we won't bring him in nor will we bring in Thomas either,

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
