That's because he won't take his tampon out. He needs to man up and get on the field. This is football, you are gonna have to play with "boo boos" every now and then.

Look at Thomas Davis. He's going to come back from two ACL injuries before Otah comes back from one knee injury.

Yea, a very large man should hurry up and get back on the field with a bum knee to possibly end up being out for a year. Davis is 240lbs while Otah is 330lbs. You don't know jack.

That's going to be Otah's story the rest of his career. He's gonna stay injury proned and will never play a full season. Next year, need to draft replacement and trade Otah for a WR.

horrible logic.. thank god you're not the training staff..

it will take him however long it takes for him to get healthy.. primarily to prevent another injury..

if you don't understand that, you don't understand english..

and Davis is a bad example, he needs to sit out this year.. only reason he wouldn't is it's contract season.. none of which is best for his health... catch up

Is anyone thinking that Davis coming back from the first knee injury so quickly was a good thing? It was amazing to see him recover so quickly and return to practice, he looked so good and things were gonna be gre.... oh crap, he's down, he's clutching that knee, oh man he looks like he's in pain, someone get out there and help him, oh the humanity...

Give the big man time and give Davis all the time he needs, too. Knees are delicate and recovery for them can be rough.

We miss him but I say take your time. I rather have him back healthy then him coming back for a game or two and then we lose him to a longer time period. I have had a knew injury. I tored my patellar tendon and that rehab was rough (ok, I know he has more money than me but still healing is healing). It took me a long time to recover and that was 2 years ago. Now I guess it is more of a mental act with me, fearing I am going to hurt it again. Well anyway, don't ruse the fellow out there. As long as he is still working that knee, he will be fine.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
