I was that shocked when I heard RR say we need a scat back. Now, I looked (out of boredom) to see who was out there to fill that "need" and him, Rainey, and Demps were the only three from the Draft and FA. Demps is going the olympics route and Rainey is garbage! That leaves LaMichael. Now, I hate the idea and figured if I brought it up then it will not happen, but if it does then let's be honest..............a nice weapon to have and in theory makes our already dangerous offense even more dangerous.

i feel real confident in saying that would be a monumentally bad idea.

we have weak spots all over the place at starting positions. we don't want to spend an early pick on a guy who would be 3rd on the depth chart and only used situationally with no real significant amount of PT.

we can find someone that fits the bill late in the draft. it's something fancy to add that would be fun, but this team needs too much work to draft that guy so early.

I will agree, I don't think its a good idea.................BUT, look at it a little deeper. Look what Sproles offers! LaMichael becomes our PR also and is a BIG threat at PR. One guy gives us a HUGE threat to offer with our offense and gives us a legit PR. I'm not gonna cry if it happens.

If the playoffs this year have shown us anything, its that a well balanced team with a strong defense wins big games.

See: Texans & Giants last week, Ravens, & the 49ers

If we don't end up with Kirkpatrick in the 1st you capitalize on the tremendous amount of CB talent in this draft

yea, it would be a nice luxury to have

but wouldn't it be an even nicer luxury to not have to score 40 points on offense to win a fuging game?

Indeed, but getting our starters back is an instant upgrade. I am confident our 1st pick in the draft will be defensive and help in our ability to generate more of a pass rush. However, LaMichael James gives us help in sustaining drives, makes our run game even more dangerous, and helps us murder even the best defenses in the TOP battle!

So let me see if I got this....we are gonna generate a Texans/Giants/Niner pass rush by drafting a cover corner? I'm lost!

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
