This is a fantastic post.

... Sorry?? Dude, I don't know. I just created a topic. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

I know everyone is flipping their shiznit about Bryce but I have no more thoughts to think about him and I don't really care what other people say at this point either. But can we talk about how bad our run game is? As bad as our passing game is, our running game isn't much better, and honestly an argument could be made that it's worse. Hubbard averages under 3.5 yards a carry over the last four games. we shelled out money to pay him and miles sanders and used a high draft pick on Brooks and paid a highly for two guards and we still suck at running the ball. 23rd in the league, but worse over the last month. I don't think Bryce is the answer, but to be fair to him, I don't see many young quarterbacks winning a game when they get sacked six times and their their starting running back runs for 32 yards. How do we fix the run game? I personally don't want us to invest more in running backs but we won't be getting better with or without Bryce with this run game being what it is. I don't think the run game can go ignored this offseason but how do we make it better without throwing more resources at a problem when we are already spending a lot on that position.

One of the few bright spots on this team. Heck , might be the best offseason acquisition of the past two years. Which is speaks both to his talent and to the lack of talent we have brought in the last two years.

Honestly, given where we are this season, why bother waiting? Just get it done sooner to heal more fully. I am absolutely against tanking but playing with an injury with nothing on the line is dumb.

Been hoping for a speedy recovery for him. Obviously, no sense in rushing him given our record. But still…Legette got 8 targets yesterday and came down with only two catches. Gotta wonder what the outcome of the game would be if some of those targets went to Coker.

Hate to be boring but I’d probably want to trade down and go BPA. We have so many holes and are still a ways from being a contender. No sense reaching for a position of need

Biased? Most definitely. But I still think Luke was the best off ball linebacker almost every year he played. And at worst was maybe top three or four. Don’t know you could say that of many of the other names on the list though I like a lot of them…except manning.

side note: looking at the list of potential players, it is bananas if he doesn’t get in. But Panthers are always getting screwed.

Isn’t he listed as one of the 25 modern era players still in the running? The article says: ”The Pro Football Hall of Fame has its finalists for the seniors, coach and contributor part of the Class of 2025, but it still needs to decide the finalist for the modern-era players. The 25 players who are in the running to make the Hall of Fame are quarterback Eli Manning; running backs Fred Taylor and Ricky Watters; wide receivers Anquan Boldin, Torry Holt, Steve Smith Sr., Hines Ward and Reggie Wayne; tight end Antonio Gates; offensive linemen Willie Anderson, Jahri Evans, Richmond Webb, Steve Wisniewski and Marshal Yanda; defensive backs Eric Allen, Rodney Harrison, Earl Thomas and Darren Woodson; linebackers James Harrison, Luke Kuechly and Terrell Suggs; defensive linemen Jared Allen, Robert Mathis and Vince Wilfork; and kicker Adam Vinatieri.”

This. The best way to stop the run is to compel them to pass.

I take it back

Thielen!!! Now RUN IT!

Hope he works out. I liked him. I always felt like he had potential but never quite got there.

This is true what you say

Solid, low stakes signing. I like it well enough. My questions about rub are 1. Does Chuba have any trade value? (Probs not, but more than sanders. Maybe we could get another 5th) 2. Does Tarik Cohen have a shot making the team given the new kickoff rules? I can’t imagine he’s still got it and doubt he makes the team, but with the new kickoff rules, maybe he has the inside track against some of these other backs. regardless, it will be a fun TC battle to watch (or would be if stepper let us watch)

32 Jackson powers Johnson (c) 46 Adonai Mitchell(wr) 72 Payton Willis (lb) 101 Ja’Tavion Sanders(te) Not sure after that

This is the best post in this thread.

I love his hands and catch radius, but watching him run reminds me of Ian Thomas. dude is not light on his feet.

Same. I honestly like the top three centers over most of the WR’s and I think it’s a bigger need.

Yes. Extremely. And none have been taken yet.

Verse finally taken. Great value there. And good for us.

At this rate I think we hold on to 33 but maybe trade down 39
