also there's no reason at all to cut anyone just because we drafted a guy. For one, depth. Two, Hoover's still a hell of a player. But for some reason people are looking to cut people because of the draft, and I don't get that.

lol cut a guy who just came off his best season ever?

He did a hellava job. D'Will and Stewart never forgot to give him credit. I thought it was worthy of a Pro Bowl appearance but just another Panther that was rejected.

Tony Fiammetta has a great role model and we should have a smooth transition at fullback when the time comes to give Brad his gold watch. NOT IN 09 and maybe not even 2010.

Go Panthers

I don't know why some people think this kid should instantly replace Hoover. As others have said, Hoover is coming off one of his best seasons.

There is room for both of these guys on the roster. Fiametta is much more athletic than Hoover, and a better receiver too. I expect we will be seeing a lot of Fiametta on third downs this season. He may also see some time at TE.

We also had a pre-draft interview with Fiammetta:

Tony Fiammetta Q&A With PD

i liked this Q&A:

All right, last question: There’s nothing between you and the goal line but a linebacker. Convince me that you’re going to score the TD.

I’m going to use all my will, all my strength, and all my technique to get underneath that linebacker’s pads and set the tone for the rest of the game. You know, I’m not going to be stopped. I’m going to use everything I’ve got in my body to get over that goal line for my team.

oh...i have no reason to believe that hoover is going to be cut or anything. only way he goes is on his own accord or if he ceases to be productive (which i don't see happening anytime soon). he will be bringing along fiammetta and teaching that guy how to be the best.

there may not be any other team that carries 2 FBs and 2 kickers but i see no reason why we shouldn't. the old guys are clutch and the younger guys have far too much to offer that we need.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      By Navy_football · Posted

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.
