Forbes calls out D-Will

In today's NFL you don't pay 2 running backs.

Hell most teams don't pay 1 running back, they just draft em and send them on their way.

Most teams aren't lucky enough to find the talent in the draft that we've found at the position.

This is also a philosophical thing... we do much more than just run the ball with these guys.

Most teams are not fugtard stupid enough to draft 2 running backs in the first round 3(?) years apart.

It's has not shown to be a successful strategy. Sure we have a team rushing record or something but who cares when you aren't winning and going to the playoffs.

Forbes doesn't know football!

Maybe Hurney should go write for them?

Most teams aren't stupid enough to look for that "talent" twice within three years.

Our drafting of LB's and RB's is crippling us as a franchise.

Drafting two rb's as we did was not really a problem. In fact, it was probably the right move for the type of team we were trying at the time. The running game was fantastic back in 08, and got us a division title. Resigning them both to big contracts might end up being a big problem if we can't afford to sign anyone in other areas.

every player in the entire NFL is over paid. Drew Brees is making $120 million dollars yet New Orleans and the state of Louisiana is one of the poorest in the entire country.

I can't feed my 5 kids anything but ramen noodles but hey! who dat!

Are talking per market value or compared to the average american ?

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
