The team loved ____, he just couldn't come back from his injury.

par for the course for any young player on this team with potential

Adams takes the game personally, kind of like Smitty with one testicle

[Herbert The Love Bug]

is this a serious question? God almighty, can the Panthers do something interesting so people will quit making threads just to make them

Never heard Of ryne until we drafted him.

Never seen he return a punt for us.

Hopefully Adams doesn't have any serious injuries but being smaller may be an issue. Durability can be a concern.

He's taller than Smitty and only 1 lb smaller than he was coming out. Shouldn't have trouble putting on some NFL weight.

Joe Adams was a consensus first team All American this year. I liked Robinson a lot and wished he could have sproing back from his injury, but as a prospect he wasn't even in Adams' league.

He will need to I think without affecting his speed. Some things I have read suggest that to be equivalent in height/weight for every inch taller it translates to 8-10 lbs in weight. In other words for them to be built similarly, at 5'11" Adams should be around 185-190 to be similar in size to Smitty who has had to battle broken bones over the years as well.

Small college guys don't get the hype but that doesn't mean they aren't good prospects. We all know guys from small schools with little hype who did well while much bigger names fizzled. I don't think that you can decide that Adams will be a success or injury resistant based on being an All American from the SEC anymore than a Heisman guarantees success either. Robinson struggled due to injuries more so than lack of talent. I don't think we can annoint Adams as better or more talented until we see him play a snap or two.

Is our second rounder a poor prospect because he played division II ball?

Both of them were fourth rounders.

Panthers KR Joe Adams named to 2014 NFL All-Pro team as a member of the special teams. You heard it here first.

Ryne wasn't as quick as Adams

Ryne wasn't a downfield threat

Ryne didn't play in the strongest conference in the nation

Ryne wasn't known as a great kick returner

Robinson was known as an incredible punt returner, he had 7 tds. Adams isn't known as a kicker returner either, he only had 7 kick returns in his career and zero his senior year.

Robinson looked great to me in practice, it just didn't translate to games.

Id argue Robinson was just a good returner....one who played 4 years in a weak conference. 4 years stands out....can really inflate numbers considering no one plays 4

I like easy questions, Joe Adams. I like the fact that we're putting attention towards ST. Fox didn't do a lot, if any of that.

[Argus Plexus]

I wanted Ryne to break out so bad
