Don't rush it. We learned that the hard way with Beason week 1. A re-injury could put his career in jeopardy. I'll be happy if he plays 1-2 games. Or none. As long as he stays healthy.

This is why I hope we don't try to rush him to play before he is fully healed. We also saw how injuries can make players like Beason play horrible. I would love to see him on the field for the last two games so he can get to see what its like being on the field.

I agree. Perhaps they thought his injury wasn't as severe? At any rate, it's frustrating me too. We need to see what the guy can do! I'm sick of watching Munnerlyn get his tail whipped in coverage.

At this point, there is no reason to rush him back. The sad part is, here we are !0 months after the draft and we still have no idea what Hogan can do.

From a FA/draft standpoint, I think we have to treat him like Thomas Davis; pretend like he isn't there and whatever you get from him in the future is a bonus.

I think it was always the plan to use this season as a redshirt year for Hogan. The team saw him as a starting level talent that they could pick up at a point in the draft where you're happy to get decent backups. IMO, the only reason they didn't IR him is so he could get on the practice field and get some work in to prepare for next season.

Should've never been drafted with that kind of injury. Who would buy a brand new car that they're told was a lemon coming off of the assembly line? Almost no one. Well then draft the next guy on your list who doesn't already have a severe injury before you even draft him.

Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever see the guy on the field. Why the fug would you draft a guy who probably wouldn't see the field this year, when we need CB help NOW.

Amen.

That's up there with wasting a couple of years trying to a safety into a Linebacker.

...or a QB a WR/KR.

Panthers have so much talent we can squander roster spaces you know and take chances on marginal players.

Lol at this! I'm sure RR has an idea from practice what he can do!

But you are right about Davis!

Yes, he can evaluate his potential in practice, but a lot of guys look good in practice and under-produce in games.

The point remains; we won't know what we have with Hogan until he sees game action.

i agree with you about trying to outsmart the league....well...kind of. he's a gambler. he learned it from bobby beathard. that's why he does the trades he does in the draft. he's gambling.

i don't have a problem with him doing it. i just wish he was better at it.

I have a problem with Hurney not being very good at it. Everyone else should too. This team has a certain low ceiling with Hurney as the GM. And he is a hard guy to figure out as he makes some good draft calls, but almost all of his "I am smarter than everyone else" draft moves seem to backfire.

I have been saying for a while Hurney is definitely under the microscope for on down the road. We BETTER get at least to starters out the draft. Too many high round draft picks sitting on the sideline because they cant play or have been cut. (clausen, armanti, E Brown) cant keep doing that, its definitely holding the team back. He is got to step it up from here on in.

      Trade for a QB?

      By amcoolio · Posted

      There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.

      I Know We Should Celebrate the Win. But Canales Is Pissing Me The fug Off

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      I told somebody that today, the old QB adage. If you have two you don't have one. People forget when we had Double Trouble, there still was a clear edge of carry volume going to D-Lo until his departure. NFL is cut throat and if it takes us eventually bailing on Chuba to feature Rico, that decision may have to be made.

      Bryce likely out next week

      By amcoolio · Posted

      Exactly zero people on the coaching staff or front office are hoping the Panthers get utterly destroyed. This is why people can't take the constant Bryce bashing seriously. Get a clue
