I would hope not. We are so deep at WR that I would rather get looks at those guys to make the best roster decisions possible. 

No Robby and no DJ and we probably don't see Darnold either, per Rhule's semi-vague comments.

I'd probably rather see our first team offense preview than a battle for the 4th through 7th WR spots with PJ and Will Grier.

That is a good point. 

I'd really like to see Darnold and I forgot about Rhules statement.

Putting him out there with less than ideal conditions would be better in the long run if they really want to see if he can be the guy.

100%.  Any moment he could find himself in less ideal conditions.    You can’t predict health.  Guys could get banged up week 1 in the first quarter.  That’s the NFL.

We all see the OL, these are not likely to  be ideal conditions from Week 1 through Week 17.

That said, I am not on this "HE MUST PLAY IN THE PRESEASON" bandwagon either. I just think the idea of "ideal conditions" is something that isn't real in 2021. Whether he takes the field today or not until Game 1, he's gonna get heat and we will see who he is. If the plan is to protect his health or his psyche, that stuff is going to get exposed no matter what. 

If his is likely to break in Week 2 of the preseason, it isn't going to be any less likely to break in Week 1 of the regular season. He is who he is at this point.

My opinion leading up to the draft after they traded for Darnold was to give him a chance without having to look over his shoulder. They did that and didn't bring in another QB. Now it's time to see if he can do his part. Yes, it's preseason and the games "don't matter", but it is still a game situation and not practice which will give a good idea of where he is at when the defense doesn't have to pull up.

The Oline is liable to make the Titanic look like a pleasure cruise.

Joking aside,  I agree with you for the most part. I think getting more reps in the new system will help Darnold more in the long run as will actual game situations, but if doesn't play, he doesn't play.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
