Mike Goodson played like a star against us, how about Rosario? I can name more former players that didn't do poo against is, than you can that did. Stop whining like a melodramatic queen.

Once again GENIUS..I jus said that backups have career days against us...not ones that we release...

Ramses Barden ring a bell?

How bout when tony romo debuted out of nowhere?

How about that guy that played for the Redskins that was working at Verizon midway into the season and was signed on and had a career day against us...

Soud familiar at all??

Truly not sure how I stand with Murphy. He wasn't very consistent last year so if he is gone no big deal. You just never know with these guys. Some get early, some get it later, and some never get it. Not sure where Murphy fits in that grouping.

So I guess I didn't mention him because I am not sure what to think of him.

I don't either. He had to have dropped more balls than he caught. We probably would've completed more with a 2nd or 3rd TE running his routes.

But I did enjoy yelling "MURPH!" when he did catch one lol. (geek back to Robocop) :crazysmile:

Giving up this year's 7th for Murphy was a good trade for us. Murphy wasn't great but he was ok as the #3 WR. With Gettis not coming back last season, we would have been in really bad shape had we not traded for Murphy.

Here's my take on him. He knows Cam, he does pose somewhat of a threat, and he should be a year better. (Both system wise, and physically.) Howoever, he needs to improve his routes, become stronger, at the line and downfield, and fix those pesky drops.

IMO,. I just don't believe Gettlemen is going to be afraid of upgrading this position. So if he wants to stay on this team he had better shine. Maybe he can bug Cam for some practice time to give him an edge.

I would agree with all you're saying if he was a rookie or 2nd year guy. But he's 25 and has now had 4 years in the league. If he hasn't fixed his route running and stopped dropping the ball and, basically, stopped looking afraid of catching the ball and turning up field by now there's a good chance he won't. You were probably correct in not counting him as an active WR. I do hope Gettleman thinks long and hard about upgrading at WR #3.

You very well could be right. He may have hit his competency level and is not going to get any better. This will be his second year in our system. If there ever was a time for him to make hay, this is it.

With Smitty, Lafell, and Olsen he is at best the 4th option. So it is not like he has to be all world. Improvement is needed for the teams sake, and his. But barring any unforseen miracle, he is never going to be more than a #3 WR around here. So I guess anything we get out of him is just gravy anyway,

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
