PJ Walker!

Do not forget that Temple standout and XFL MVP Phillip Walker is our backup. He is 2-0 as an NFL starter and even though he is as short as Baker he can usually get passes off without having them smacked out of the air by opposing defenses. He is a little more mobile than Baker maybe and not named "Sam." Rhule did not commit to Baker as the starter following yesterday's loss. Should PJ get 1st team reps this week? 

I think its worth considering. It provides a very small chance at shaking things up and making things more exciting worth losing the compensation (draft pick) from the Baker Trade?

Let’s be serious. 

we would all like a nice draft pick to draft a QB next year.  We can’t fug around with PJ because everyone knows the final destination would be 14-3. The man don’t lose.

I am not sure it isn't worth considering. At least we can see if it the offense rather than Baker.  Backups like Geno Smith are doing a good job for Seattle and making a case to start. If PJ moves the offense then we know where the fault lies and can he be worse than Baker at this point??

Pete Carroll is a good HC and they don’t have a OC the league essentially banished 

Baker is a problem.  Not the primary problem.

I agree and said essentially the same thing in another thread.

What are we trying to accomplish?  For argument's sake lets just say PJ plays better than Baker.  Are we a contender?  I think quite clearly, NO.  So really, the best thing that could happen is the worst thing that could happen.  PJ leads us to a few wins we wouldn't have got otherwise.  Damaging our draft position, and GASP creating a possible bridge for Rhule to cross to another year.  No Thanks.  Accept this year is lost, stop looking for hope.

      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.
