Injury Updates

I think some of these guys are stretching these injuries and making them look worse than they are. DeAngelo should be playing. Otah as well.

Nonsense. Whilst a player might not want to go back in a season like this, a doctor or physio can easily tell if a player is faking or not. So if they were not wanting to come back this season just because they couldn't be bothered, I imagine they would run risk of disciplinary problems with the team. Not to mention losing the respect of the players they call team mates.

The coaching staff will clear any player that is fit to play and then the player can throw a hissy from there. However it could be the coaching staff preferring to get a look at other players, so allowing their established stars that extra week to be fully healed.

Something else interesting to think about.

People are worried that we will beat Atlanta because they will be resting their starters. In many cases the Panthers have already sat down several starters who could probably have come back to contribute if the season meant anything.

We are down to our 2nd or 3rd string at certain positions, so really by that time who knows who else will be "injured" or sat down because its meaningless.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years, with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
