So no. He's not a generational RB and that's the only reason you'd spend a first round pick on a RB.

His talent is borderline generational. He's as fast as Gibbs and 10 pounds heavier. He catches as good as any one and is miles faster than CMC. He's a better pure talent than CMC.. so yeah I would say he's borderline generational

Making judgements about the skill of a running back based on 1 game with 10 attempts without regard to the reliance on OL is rather silly. Unless you are trying to downplay your own good defense?

What game with 10 carries are we talking about here?

Guess he needed more carries to get going. 

I don’t watch college ball much. Hardly any. I used to pore over all these players in these mocks around where we were slotted to pick and spend a lot of time on it. Then a trade would happen and we’d be picking somewhere else.
 

My thought is this guy better hope a team that has a great passing game takes him because defenses will stack and crowd in and make his day hell if his QB can’t take some heat off. 

So he doesn’t need to be here.

The one against Miami that the Miami fan is using to judge his talent by in this thread.

Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..

Now why on earth would you set fire to the stadium for drafting a top 5 talent and a better running back than anyone on your roster 

Obviously tongue in cheek hyperbole.

But we do not need a first round RB to compete for a championship. We need intelligent roster building. That to me is the complete opposite of intelligent roster building because it is a prime resource at a devalued plug and play position when we have needs across the defense.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
