I just hate RB in the first round. It's so feast and famine. How great will he be getting hit like Cam and Stew is all year. I just don't like it. You think Stew is injury prone man RBs period are injury prone! Short shelf life and big drop offs are call signs of the RB position. This pick will make or break gettlemans career. Let's hope it's the former.

After 2005 we stopped him from returning. Only did it in emergeny. Only returned 18 kicks in 5 seasons. Didn't do it in 2009. Thing is, we have capable players to return kicks. Kaelin Clay is capable to return both punts and kicks. McCaffrey is only decent at kick returns. I wouldn't want to risk his health when we have other options.

Ginn ain't here 

and when Ginn hasn't been here we have been a joke.

Didn't Stewart return kicks as a rookie too? Got to put guys on the field.  He is only going to be part of a RB committee as a rookie

If I just saw him as a RB, then I would hate the pick. We needed a chest piece to counter Lavonte David, Stephone Anthony, and Dion Jones that lived in our backfield, I want to force these guys to cover McCaffrey in space. Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman torched Denvers defense. James White torched Atlanta Defense. We needed a similar and better player on this offense

But hes not just playing RB. He is probably the best WR on the Panthers roster especially in the slot. He is our kick and punt returner from day one. You can use him on the field with Stew too. 

He is a play maker.

Best WR? loool. Wow..these cats are wildin' tonight.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      The qb position has been eliminated due to the low probability of the success of selecting one early.  This part got me hollering the most "You can't get so hyperfocused on one position(even the most important position in football like QB) that you just draft a QB and any QB. This leads to wasted draft picks and years of torment as you are stuck in a development cycle for nothing." "Also, if we don't get our franchise QB this draft....oh well. We got the next dozen or so drafts to keep taking cracks at it."

      Then be prepared to draft a QB the next year. When the best one would surely not play here. Then what?   This fanbase keeps preaching patience, while other bottom feeders are finding their QB's. Panthers fans are becoming blind. The losing has caught up to the fanbase. We preaching patience when we have been a bad franchise ever since Tepper took over.   But because you don't like Sanders or Ward we should pass on a QB. Then when they become franchise changers you feel bad.   Everyone knows this franchise will continue to suck until they get a franchise QB. Chasing LBs and DEs isn't helping us. We can address the defense after we get the QB.   Cmon Hepcat don't let the blind lead you they blind for a reason!

      Imagine posting on a forum to mock people for posting on a forum. Whether you realize it or not you just played yourself. LOL  Guess what? We've heard people like you lecture people with opinions about how *insert former Panthers front office or coach moron* knows best and we're all just idiots. This forum exists to discuss Panthers football and that includes *GASP* sharing opinions that may be contrary to what the Panthers end up doing.  If you just want a circle jerk of an echo chamber reassuring you that everything the Panthers do is brilliant despite the abysmal record on the field, I think they made a Discord group for that.
