This is the scat back that we've needed. They tried utilize Tolbert as our pass catching RB, but now we have a true receiving threat out of the backfield (I hope). If not, it's only a 6 round pick.

you don't know squat.

Pretty much. Every WR we have has return in the pass, besides Lafell. Gettis, Smitty, Hixon, Ginn, Armati, Pilaris, who else. LOL so I don't think that he is brought in for return ability, I think he is going to get some good time on the field at running back. I'm excited to see it. Besides Star (really Kuechly because with Star in front of him, he is going to have a crazy year) Kenjon Barner is the only guy I'm ready to see play in this draft class.

To tell you the truth this draft really wasn't that great for us. But if you talk to Gettleman we got every single player we want ROFL.

I just watched some youtube videos on him, I didn't know anything about him before we took him but I must say he might have been a brilliant investment for the future. He's tiny, but he seems great at following blockers, finding holes, navigating the middle and staying low (of course). Could very well be our Sproles, I don't think it's a stretch to think that could happen sooner rather than later. Also seems to have big hands for a guy his size.

Why the fug is everyone flipping out?

AJ Klein: Is a solid backup for the injury-prone linebacker core. Do you trust TD who has already had 3 acl tears in THE SAME KNEE? No I don’t. Jon Beason also has not been healthy for basically two years and on top of that is the highest paid MLB IN THE LEAGUE. HE DOESNT EVENT PLAY INSIDE LINEBACKER ANYMORE. Klein is here to be a solid backup, which was a good pick.

Barner: Put him in the slot or throw him a screen and watch what happens. D-will is on his way out and he is the replacement. It might not be this year but its coming. We are not going to pay an old rb like d-will when we have to lock up others like the kraken and cam. Solid Pick.

Why we didnt pick a secondary player or a receiver: We just picked two 300 pound DT’S that are complete freaks. This should be the end of the argument right here. As soon as DG picked Star out draft was an A++++ no matter who we picked after. The two HOG MOLLIES we drafted make our secondary wayyyy better than fua or kearse did on their best days. You people also seem to fuging forget that we got SS MITCHELL who played for Oakland. He hits hard and he plays hard. He can also run with tight ends and straight fuging rock running backs in the whole. Florence and dj campbell are also suitable corners with EXPERIENCE. Oh and dont forget Josh Norman coming back for his second season. He is talll and long and is always around the ball. Before he was benched he had 7 pass break-ups. Not bad for a rook.

We also dont need another damn wide out on this team. Gettis is coming off a torn acl, which usually takes a full year to comeback from unless you’re a complete freak and then u need to reps to get back into football shape. We have hixon and lafell who are more than suitable to catch football from cam. Steve Smith still has it and will NUKE Revis Island this year. Mark my words. Gettis will be the two receiver before the year is out.

SO SHUT YOUR MOUTHS ABOUT THIS DRAFT.

Keep Pounding.

You just can't win with Panthers fans. You take great players and they cry about every one of them because they think they know what is best for the team. I wish people would shut the fug up and get over it and realize the amount of talent we are adding to this team in the draft. Which is a lot more than most drafts we have had.

If I could pie this, I would. Spot-on.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
