Panthers had 8 guys who didn't practice - FB Mike Tolbert has entered the dreaded "protocol" after sustaining a head injury last week

To my knowledge, nobody has ever the "concussion protocol" and wound up playing that week. Look to see Richie Brockel at FB this week.

Mike Tolbert (concussion) was absent from Wednesday's practice.

He can be ruled out for Week 10. Although the Panthers have toyed with a more traditional rushing attack in recent weeks, Tolbert is a wasted roster spot in fantasy leagues.

i know some people think highly of him, but i have yet to see any benefit of him being on the roster.

Yeah well that's because our "mad scientist" of an OC (lmfao) has no idea how to utilize him just like he doesn't with our running backs.. I mean he's actually had some good 3rd and short conversions(his strength) from what I've seen but of course we use him down the seam as a TE 101% of the time. He's being misutilized just like the rest of the offense. (again, just from what I've seen in general)

I think Tolbert is a valuable player - we just don't use him right.

He is a guy out of I form and 2 RB shotgun sets that you check it underneath to and he gets valuable YAC almost every touch. Now on a team like this with Cam being on our team Tolbert isn't as needed near the goal line. But he has punched it in a few times. Has a nose for the end zone

Most huddles over valued his.impact when he was signed.

Now that he isn't living up to those over the the top expectations, fans hatehim, or blame chud.

In a full season last year, he had over 923 yards from scrimmage. In half of a season this year, he has 154.

You might want to rethink your observations.

he was needed last season in san diego. he wasn't needed in carolina this season.

Not for the way we're using him, no. We would have been much better off re-signing Shockey or another TE that can both block and catch. But like most on here, I assumed that Chud had an idea of how we could use him before his signing.

Once again I've been reminded of why I shouldn't assume.
