I had MJD and DeAngelo....and it was due to DeAngelo that I am the Huddle champ.

Most of these folks are either listening to the pundits who are not convinced that Williams can repeat last year's performance. He was basically unknown last year since the Panthers are basically ignored in the media since we're a small market team. I remember getting some grief even from other Panther fans about taking the chance on Williams and you see how it paid out....

I don't see anything wrong with it. Turner is the flavor of the week and has been for a couple of years. You guys have been around long enough to know the press dynamic. They don't change until they're slapped repeatedly around the face and head - and somebody else tells them what to say...

It's not reality and yet, it's not fantasy either, it's pure fiction...

How the hell is MJD that high? Seriously?

Because there's no more Fred Taylor to split carries. Plus, I think there were only 4 choices in that poll. With that being said, I wish I was in a money league with the 40% who chose Turner, he's due for injury this year with all those carries.

I think FF is stupid to begin with. But I do read the write ups ranking players and I do not understand what the hype for Forte is all about.

Because Forte does not split near as much time as the other backs do. All do to the amount of touches

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By SCO96 · Posted

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2024 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
