Gio is insanely good. His only problem is he is constantly injured. He got hurt in almost every game in college and missed a lot of games. If he got that beat up in the ACC, I can't imagine how is body will hold up in the NFL.

Yeah he was insanely good in the ACC,that isn't really impressive,I could see if he was doing it in the SEC.He look like he could be a good 3rd down back in the NFL,I don't really see him as anything special especially to draft him in the 2nd round.

The argument that he played in the ACC, so he is going to be nothing more than a third down running back is ludicrous and ridiculous. Chris Johnson and Alfred Morris played in the CUSA and are capable starters at the running back position. Gio is a great talent; he has speed, agility, and great elusiveness. The problem for Gio will be staying on the field consistently. He could become a good every down back if he can stay healthy, if not; he could easily be a Darren Sproles type of player (similar player). Regardless, it won't be here in Carolina even if D-Will is given his walking papers.

Gio is beast mode, we just have way too many other needs. I think this fanbase might legitimately riot if we took yet another RB high in the draft and for good reason. No way we take him in the 1st and he won't be there when we draft in the 2cd. If he makes it to their pick, the Packers would be nuts not to take him. Gio in that offense would be downright scary.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
