I think it’s time for Burns to move to the bottom pair. Slavin is having to do way too much to compensate and Burns is supposed to generate offense but Slavin is out-pacing him there as well. I would like to see TDA on the 1st pair at this point. Will Rod do this? Absolutely not. 

I agree Burns is not the same player he was - but TDA 1st pair?

Yes. We saw it in stints a couple of weeks ago in the 11-7 2.0 experiment and it was reminiscent of 2021 to my untrained eye.
 

The thing with Burns is, is he’s also leading the team with TOI. That’s absurd. He has lost a step this year and it’s to the detriment of the team. I love Burns, always have, but Rod needs to reevaluate how he’s using some of his vets. Staal is a topic for another day. 
 

BTW, I am @USDepartmentOfSavagery. Linville unceremoniously perma-banned that account so had to bring this one back from the grave.

You said you were gonna be banned. Glad you could come back at least.

      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.
