Stop drafting wrs with high picks lol. We drafted legette, Mingo, and TMJ in recent years and none of them have worked out thus far.

Passed on Zach Frazier for him

There's a word for this situation. I'm having trouble remembering what it is. 

Oh yeah...

Sh-t

Sometimes I feel like the panthers just out think themselves evaluating talent in the draft.  Draft the healthy dudes with good college production and good upside. Stop investing high picks into project players (legette/mingo) or injured players (brooks).

I nearly forsaken Morgan when he traded up to draft Brooks. Just waste then and ultra waste now. This team more than nearly any other needs talent. Starters are drafted in the 2nd not backups getting 6 carries, just terrible.

 

He's learning too along with others....

Things have gone bad for JB and coming off injury is definitely hard to defend.  He did show talent although very briefly.

A second round back is fine if he is a difference maker.   A top 5 RB is fine.  I don't think anyone would disagree that Barkley has led the Eagles to the brink of a championship.  

Depends on the talent of the RB.  

Barkley isn't a Philly draft pick.

It wouldn't matter if it was, TBH. It rings hollow unless Philly wins a SB.

Pretty sure the Giants lost Barkley because they paid Jones.

I mean the team that drafted him 2nd overall just let him leave in FA. 

 

Not just smart teams, nearly the whole league has colluded together and just not paying RBs. Smart teams were doing this 20 years ago, most of the league has caught up. 

 

Look at what king Henry got 8 million per, same as freaking chubba. Many others got around that numbers, its a sad state. You'd rather be a slot WR now, that get more money and years.

There's always room. They paid Burns a insane deal.

 

There's always room for game changing talent....

Perfect first drive...can't do it better

It's who they prioritize, though.

Joe Schoen has a pretty good rep when it comes to talent scouting. As a team manager though, not so much.

LOL, he had a good chance to break Eric Dickerson's record if he wanted too.  He has been every bit worth that pick.  Give me a player better in that draft?

I don't mind taking runningbacks high if they're someone special like Barkley.

If you don't have a good line in place though, that's not gonna make up for it.

[Shocker]

LOL...this is the guy let me run the other way!!
