He set the limits of this class, Jesus what a combine....

1,150 yards, 15 TD’s, 2 receiving TD’s

5’10 210

2nd Team All-ACC

4.32 forty at combine (1st)

41” vertical at combine (1st)

10 yard split (1st)

Broad Jump (2nd)

Dude’s an athletic freak and an amazing RB with vision, cutbacks, and power.  Whoever gets him in the mid-rounds is getting a stud.

I would suspect that this assures they draft a RB.

Wait, you mean the staff is giving up on Thomas and Blackshear...in the same offseason?  How do we go on without mediocrity?

Mediocrity would be an improvement. It doesn't seem like they are not going to settle for the status quo. I agree. It's time for another churn.

I agree it's time to reset the RB room outside of Hubbard. I also imagine the decision makers have seen other teams around the league getting high quality production out of mid round and undrafted RB's. Example the Buccaneers with 4th round pick Bucky Irving. All I can do is hope Dan Morgan learned a very tough lesson in his first year.

I hate the guy, but Sean Payton knows ball as well as anyone living. He was asked about what Carolina needs, first he said a 3rd down passing RB and second a safety TE. He said they need to covert more 3rd downs and attack the middle of the field. 

He's right.

I hadn't heard this but I appreciate the info. I could not agree more I despise that MFer. But he is one of the better offensive minds in league history so I will listen to what he has to say if he is truthfully assessing our situation. And yes he is correct.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
