That's why I love the Huddle. It's such a friendly, laid back place...

Regarding Neblett, those calling for him to be cut should probably forget about it. If they were going to let him go over the supplement thing, he would've already been gone.

You said we drafted an oft-injured player, which implies that he was oft-injured, and known as being such, at the time he was drafted. I was just pointing out that this was false. Don't get all butthurt because someone calls you on being ridiculously hyperbolic. His current injury was very minor and was a hamstring issue. The same injury that seemingly half our camp has had. By all means, however, don't let me hinder your cliff jumping.

pie for use of the word hyperbolic

Still not comparable to a KNEE INJURY to any player. We're talking about a CB, a position that has to sprint, pivot, stop on a dime, and make all sorts of contortions.

Besides, Stewart's toe injury never had the potential to be debilitating like Hogan's ACL tear did.

Apparently some people don't understand "degree" or "severity".

I don't know about that toe injuries can be very debilitating. A toe injury ended Deion Sanders' career. I've had both and tbh once I was fully recovered from my ACL tear i was fine. My toe on the other hand still gives me problems til this day and it's been 3 years.

Did the team really bring Hogan in for an evaluation before the draft?

I don't know but I am sure that since he had surgery and it wasn't a secret or surprise, they talked to the doctors and had a medical evaluation of his surgery and recovery. I would expect they also talked with everyone they could. I am sure they knew where he was in his recovery and how he was doing in his rehab.

There are no guarantees. Most players that are drafted don't have major injuries, and they NEVER BECOME ANYTHING special.

All that's irrelevant.

The fact is the Panthers needed immediate help at corner. Fact is Hogan had an ACL tear and from the moment he was drafted he was destined for injured reserve. Fact is he wasn't the only CB available in that draft. Fact is there were others who didn't enter the league on IR. Therefore, Hurney should've drafted a CB that didn't enter the league on IR.

How many 4th rounders start right away which is what you are suggesting?? Truth is that if we needed a corner immediately we would have taken one higher but instead took 2 DTs in the third for example. Obviously we didn't think it was the issue you do. And obviously we didn't think it was in 2012 or we wouldn't have waited until round 5. Most times fourth rounders are somewhat projects who are developed for the future. So whether you pick a guy who has talent issues or you get a guy with plenty of talent who dropped due to various issues such as injury, not a great work ethic or whatever, you know that if they start within a year or two it is a bonus. So Hogan was not a waste of a pick at this point.
