A little background on AJ Klein...

[Jackofalltrades]

His success will have a lot to do with Beason. Beason has to show that he can stay healthy, play well at the Will AND take a pay cut this offseason. If he doesn't do all three of those things I think Mr. Klein will be starting next season.

 

I do look forward to seeing him on ST's this season.

He was coached by Paul Rhoads?

 

I'm in.

 

(I'm a huge fan of Paul Rhoads.)

My thoughts exactly

[bleys]

I wasn't really against our draft it's just funny as hell that we drafted another LB/RB

 

that my first reaction, but then I realized when 2 of your biggest cap hits that aren't earning their value need to become expendable, fans will come around to the idea if a 5th and 6th rounder are able to replace Beason and DWill...

[MadHatter]

I loved the pick.

 

With Beason moving to the outside and having such a huge salary, I see him gone after next year (or he takes a pay cut)

 

As far as Kenjon.....DWill should ge gone now with Stewart and Tolbert on the roster.  Barner easily provides the change of pace back that compliments them both.  Barner does not "replace" DWill.....but he is a piece that helps compensate for him when he is gone.

When he was Big 12 Co-Defense POY, the other player was Frank Alexander :)

I was skimming through Sports Illustrated today and came across an article that listed the top 10 draft prospects that will go in day 3 but deserve to go higher (obviously, this was written before the draft).

 

Barner (listed as #1) and Klein were 2 of the 10 listed.

Nice.

Have you always been a Panthers fan or are you now a Panthers fan because of Klein?

 

Sidenote: I'm not trying to say anything, just purely curious because it says you're new.

To be completely honest I'm a Bills fan and a Carolina fan.  I grew up being a Bills fan due to Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly, and Thurman Thomas.  Then the Carolina Panthers became a team and since my sister lives in Charlotte I've been able to go to a couple of games and have been rooting for them ever since.  Being in different divisions is a blessing, but I honestly don't know who I'll root for on September 15th!!!

the arrow is pointing up for the Panthers..  I'm not so sure Buffalo even has an arrow.  I think it was sold on ebay to the lowest bidder.

My friends are Cylcone fans, so I end up watching a lot of games. I was actually pretty excited when we picked him.

Was always a huge fan of the Fizer/Tinsley eras at ISU.

 

Welcome, and hope you stay on the board through the season!  Meaningful insight on the huddle is usually hard to come by.

Is he Dan Connor?

 

Solid depth, but not quite fast enough to be a quality starter.

 

I will be stoked if that's the case, and if he can start, I will be happier than most have seen me on here.
