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.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
