Gio is insanely good. His only problem is he is constantly injured. He got hurt in almost every game in college and missed a lot of games. If he got that beat up in the ACC, I can't imagine how is body will hold up in the NFL.

Yeah he was insanely good in the ACC,that isn't really impressive,I could see if he was doing it in the SEC.He look like he could be a good 3rd down back in the NFL,I don't really see him as anything special especially to draft him in the 2nd round.

The argument that he played in the ACC, so he is going to be nothing more than a third down running back is ludicrous and ridiculous. Chris Johnson and Alfred Morris played in the CUSA and are capable starters at the running back position. Gio is a great talent; he has speed, agility, and great elusiveness. The problem for Gio will be staying on the field consistently. He could become a good every down back if he can stay healthy, if not; he could easily be a Darren Sproles type of player (similar player). Regardless, it won't be here in Carolina even if D-Will is given his walking papers.

Gio is beast mode, we just have way too many other needs. I think this fanbase might legitimately riot if we took yet another RB high in the draft and for good reason. No way we take him in the 1st and he won't be there when we draft in the 2cd. If he makes it to their pick, the Packers would be nuts not to take him. Gio in that offense would be downright scary.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

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

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
