I think Mike Florio is right about everything he says here.

first...not a fan of mark "let's see what poo we can throw at the wall and still be more right than than schefter" florio or his beloved PulledFromTurd.

but.... he is right that we have waaaaayyyyy too much money wrapped up in RB and we should move on from both of them because their production would be easily replaced with cheaper options. i don't like the idea of getting rid of both of them at the same time, but i don't think it would be catastrophic, esp. long term. that's a lot of money that could be spent making the team at the very least more balanced and well rounded and would make it easier to pay cam what he's likely going to cost to re-sign. i love double trouble, but not at the expense of the panthers big picture.

he was pretty much way off base on why there was trouble with cam early on last year. he said that the problem was they didn't account for the changes that defenses would make in trying to stop him, but the truth was chud overcompensated and it wasn't until they changed things back to the way they were the previous year that things started looking productive.

totally agreed about us needed to focus on bringing in more talent at WR. we need more. simple and plain. what we have isn't enough to make us dominant, esp. when smitty falls apart. it needs addressed sooner rather than later.

mixed feelings about gamble, but maybe he's right that we should try and make him settle for less here, esp. when he considers that he's not going to be getting paid anywhere close to what he's supposed to be getting paid here next year. this is going to be a buyers market because of the flood of very good players getting released due to cap issues so players will be getting paid much less than what they expect. gamble is going to fall right into that situation.

i hate agreeing with florio about anything, but a couple of those pieces of poo he flung are sticking, imo.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
