Panthers had 8 guys who didn't practice - FB Mike Tolbert has entered the dreaded "protocol" after sustaining a head injury last week

Steve Reed‏@SteveReedAP

To my knowledge, nobody has ever the "concussion protocol" and wound up playing that week. Look to see Richie Brockel at FB this week.

Mike Tolbert (concussion) was absent from Wednesday's practice.

He can be ruled out for Week 10. Although the Panthers have toyed with a more traditional rushing attack in recent weeks, Tolbert is a wasted roster spot in fantasy leagues.

i know some people think highly of him, but i have yet to see any benefit of him being on the roster.

Yeah well that's because our "mad scientist" of an OC (lmfao) has no idea how to utilize him just like he doesn't with our running backs.. I mean he's actually had some good 3rd and short conversions(his strength) from what I've seen but of course we use him down the seam as a TE 101% of the time. He's being misutilized just like the rest of the offense. (again, just from what I've seen in general)

I think Tolbert is a valuable player - we just don't use him right.

He is a guy out of I form and 2 RB shotgun sets that you check it underneath to and he gets valuable YAC almost every touch. Now on a team like this with Cam being on our team Tolbert isn't as needed near the goal line. But he has punched it in a few times. Has a nose for the end zone

Most huddles over valued his.impact when he was signed.

Now that he isn't living up to those over the the top expectations, fans hatehim, or blame chud.

In a full season last year, he had over 923 yards from scrimmage. In half of a season this year, he has 154.

You might want to rethink your observations.

he was needed last season in san diego. he wasn't needed in carolina this season.

Not for the way we're using him, no. We would have been much better off re-signing Shockey or another TE that can both block and catch. But like most on here, I assumed that Chud had an idea of how we could use him before his signing.

Once again I've been reminded of why I shouldn't assume.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
