Panthers shopping TMJ?

[ECHornet]

Not sure why some are downing last year’s draft because our second rounder has been injured. 
 

All reports suggest Horn is exactly who we hoped. BC has been said to be the most improved player on the roster and is projected to start. Hubbard is a serviceable back and will play. Keith Taylor and Shi Smith have shown promise. 

That looks like at least an average draft, and TMJ could show out if healthy.

Was really excited about the pick, but there were injury concerns prior and he was most certainly a Joe Brady guy.

So the 63 million dollar head coach and Scott Fitterer just let Joe Brady make the pick? They didn't want him?

I don't believe this. But we need to get him on the field catching touchdown passes. We draft this kid in the second round sign Robby Anderson to a good sized contract extension and then proceed to not even give TMJ a gameday jersey in the second half of the season when we had nothing to play for. So why are there people in this thread diving in front of Matt Rhule criticism again?

Everyone wants him to play up to his potential especially a coach on the hot seat. A some point he’s going to have to play through minor injuries and prove himself.

I really had high hopes for this guy but Rhule ruined him. Watch him ball out somewhere else

 

 

Maybe I should know this but how did Rhule ruin him?

The Panthers’ brain trust drafted a guy who,  while in college,  had soft tissue injury issues .

why are they surprised this continues in the nfl? 

lot of quality prospects passed over for this guy 

‘can’t make the club in the tub’

When it comes to the Rhule-circus that David Tepper created, I wouldn't be surprised if Joe Brady's friend's 3 year old daughter made the pick.

Some facts. 

His high draft position pretty much guarantees his roster spot. 

His lack of production gives his zero trade value. 

His second round status has trade value. It might be a 5th or 6th, but there is value there. NFL teams do low risk, high reward trades all the time. See CJ Henderson. Or Baker Mayfield.

[Panthering]

He's been such a disappointment, just keep him and then let him walk when the contracts up. Just another Devin Funchess type guy.

I'd say the 2021 draft is looking a little shaky at the moment. 

Horn SHOULD pan out but after that it will depend on the rest of the group. TMJ isn't looking good and BC is a TBD. The rest of the draft appears to be largely JAG/depth guys that may or may not pan out. If we get 2 guys from that 4th-7th round group on second contracts as role players on second contracts, that's a passing grade. If we get a starter from that group, it's a great grade.

If TMJ and/or BC don't pan out, it isn't looking good for that class.

I get not wanting to count Marshall's injury against him, but the problem there is that when he was drafted, he was a known injury risk.

It's really starting to look like his body might not be able to take the pounding of the NFL.

Fair point, he was known to be injury prone. Sometimes the best ability is availability 

[NAS]

For the record, I was saying “Rhule ruined him” half way jokingly because surely he must have screwed this up too since he underperformed last year, not just health wise.  The offense did not get the best out of our receivers and certainly wasn’t a good environment to develop a young rookie.

Sheesus Christmus.....Rhule ruined him?

That's exactly my thought, I think rhule is in over his head, but blaming him for tmj never being available is just rhule derangement syndrome.
