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

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
