Picking a RB coming off an ACL in the second round for a team that needs practically everything was such a head scratching luxury pick.

Gurley? 
But imagine if Gibbs was taken last year then any of the top3 qb’s year and two 2nd receivers 🤣

The last small bit of " draft give a fug " was near gone after that trade for the the injured brooks. The one spot you could say " well at least there's some depth there " was RB with Hubbard, inches, and blackshear. Even had penny in here and you know some UDFA would have turned some heads too...

It felt like the last straw, then to hear Morgan go " The RB are important to us ", ........well for the past 20 years the league has de-valued them Danny boy....same for your 3rd round pick......

Brooks needs to break some panthers records now to make people forget. My friend said a couple days after the draft- "Dan just drafted like he was still playing".. too true. Should have just kept fox or even RR along fuging Marty herinay, cause it felt just like it they were still here but the team is much worse.

I was thinking of Willis mcgahee, but he had a great RB build.

Not surprised.  In fact, I hope they take their time and ensure he is 100% before he sees the field.  IMO, his selection was always about what he might do for us next season and for a few years after that.  

💯 accurate.  

No rush to bring him onto the field.

I think Sanders probably ends up producing the most from the offensive rookies this season.  Legette needs time and Brooks should be very carefully handled, no need to rush him back.

Sooooo the least talented team is going to get nearly Zero form its first 3 picks..........better sign Dan to a contract extension!!

At least with Hurney we would get the rd 1 pick right. We can’t even do that anymore

JPJ was right there for the taking and would have solidified the center position for 10+ years and would have contributed instantly.

Instead, we're already struggling with botched snaps in practice and getting bullied up the middle already

It's almost like spending all that money on guards might not even make a difference because the fastest route to the QB is right through the center. Maybe promoting the assistant GM from a 2-15 team might have been a bad idea.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
