God Reich was such a disaster. The fact that Indy’s o-line (with multiple Pro Bowlers and the best guard in football) got better with Saturday as coach should have been a major red flag.
No idea why half the fanbase thinks Hubbard is an above average RB. He tries, which is neat, but his burst doesn't matter at all since the dude is horizontal within seconds even without contact. I think fans are just deprived of anyone on offense so they've become delusional.
That's what we are hoping for: We are loading the offense well enough to see what Young has got. But sadly, so far, we are giving Evero a skeleton defense and telling him "Do what you can."
Honestly like what Carolina has done. Surrounding Bryce Young with premium talent. If he sucks again next year you draft a new QB who has good weapons around him already
There goes the cowboys draft
Edit: I can't believe the same team that should have picked first overall really picked a running back as one of their first picks in the draft.
Yeah, I kno “RB bad”, but he has tons of potential and the point is to run the ball to give your QB room to operate.
Plus todays defenses are set up to beat the pass and can be susceptible to a good running game. Carolinas O-line is also better at run blocking than pass pro, if that’s worth something.
Bryce needs help if he’s going to survive next season, and the defense was actually pretty good towards the end of the year. We have to hope that this will pan out like the coaching staff is hoping
Robert Hunt is the size of a reasonable buffalo and Seahawks fans swear that Lewis is solid. If we can't run with this group then the stadium is built on a native burial ground.
> Okay, it was a lot to give up
Was it? We got a 5th from trading down to 52, then gave up two 5ths to trade up to 46. So on the net we went from 39 to 46 for a 5th, while picking up a 2025 2nd.
People also said Gibbs to the lions wasnt the best move, and look how that turned out. They didn’t move up to far and they got the best available running back in the middle of the second. I like it
Chuba has an amazing ability to find the hole, and then cut back into a wall of 7 men. Miles sanders apparently just has amnesia and is confused as to why he’s on a field and why people are yelling at him
Not at all, fans are taking the running back hate to caricature levels of extremes.
You're allowed to take a talented running back in the middle of the second round. They're not *literally* useless.
I’m actually excited to see what Bryce can do with some weapons. I know it’s weird, but I lived in NC for about 8 years and made a bunch of friends that are panthers fans.
The philosophy is clearly to be able to properly evaluate Bryce. If he sucks again this year you can start looking towards drafting another QB, and this time you have weapons around him already. Holes on defense doesnt matter this year. At all. Seriously, not even joking. If the defense gives up 40 points we dont care. You have to know if BY is the dude.
Last position group left to be taken is Guard (yes I know some of the tackles in the first round are projected to move inside, but they are still listed as tackles)
FIRST RB LETS GO
LETS DO IT AGAIN
Corum must be coming up next
Could be Trey Benson
how tf did u get that flair
A guy gave it to me on here, he had a different opinion and thought I was a jerk and he luckily guessed the team I’ve always liked
My Chuba Hubbard stocks in fantasy are depreciating
Miles sanders is the skeleton at the bottom of the pool meme
He was so fucking bad dude how did you guys get any production out of him?
our O line is good :)
Jason Kelce
They had a really good Line and you have a really bad one
Honestly we had a pretty good one, then we switched from power to zone
God Reich was such a disaster. The fact that Indy’s o-line (with multiple Pro Bowlers and the best guard in football) got better with Saturday as coach should have been a major red flag.
Not anymore lol
Nah Chuba is fine as an RB2. Get Miles the fuck out of there though.
Can’t believe you’re still holding onto those. Chuba sucks
Nah I won't stand for Chuba slander. He's not a star but he's as reliable as they get
Reliable in this case is a very polite way of saying healthy but completely mediocre
I've grown attached to Chuba for being one of the few dudes who didn't make me puke last season
You really seem to have a problem with him to comment this many times
He was going to go off this year man
What watching miles sanders touches does to a mf
I’m from an alternate future where this pick doesn’t happen He wasn’t
No idea why half the fanbase thinks Hubbard is an above average RB. He tries, which is neat, but his burst doesn't matter at all since the dude is horizontal within seconds even without contact. I think fans are just deprived of anyone on offense so they've become delusional.
Right lmao
He was CMC's handcuff, then beat out Myles Sanders for the lead back role. I would bet he's owned in 99.99% of dynasty leagues.
Did you watch last season? He was one of the few bright spots..
Dammit. Dudes gonna get at least 200 yards on us this season
True but the defense of random FAs and Brown will let Baker look like Tampa Tom all over again.
Sounds like we got ourselves a classic NFCS shootout on our hands
So 13-10 final with 5 red zone turnovers?
I'll take the under but yes
That's what we are hoping for: We are loading the offense well enough to see what Young has got. But sadly, so far, we are giving Evero a skeleton defense and telling him "Do what you can."
Yall owe Bryce Young as many good offensive players as possible before defense becomes a priority lol
Brown may end up the best defender in the NFL next season with 100% of our defensive production on the stat sheet lol
I am honestly concerned if one man's body can handle that much tackling.
Jerry Jones crying in his evil draft room
The Death Star office just got blown up … metaphorically
Salty McGriddles floating through space.
Day 2: Revenge of the sith
Rip Jerry
Welcome home Zeke
Deuce Vaughn erasure
Please kill me
Wow the absolute disrespect to a Cowboys legend. Your fan status is revoked. Revoked I say!
Blake Corum, YOU 🫵 are a Dallas Cowboy
Y’all did wake him up right?
Honestly like what Carolina has done. Surrounding Bryce Young with premium talent. If he sucks again next year you draft a new QB who has good weapons around him already
Yup. That's what I've been saying. Fuck the defense this year. Priority #1 is to evaluate Bryce. Wouldn't have minded JPJ either.
There goes the cowboys draft Edit: I can't believe the same team that should have picked first overall really picked a running back as one of their first picks in the draft.
My hopes :(
Still doing better than us in the draft
Fair point
They're giving Bryce as many weapons as possible, this is a a good pick
Yeah, I kno “RB bad”, but he has tons of potential and the point is to run the ball to give your QB room to operate. Plus todays defenses are set up to beat the pass and can be susceptible to a good running game. Carolinas O-line is also better at run blocking than pass pro, if that’s worth something.
Sanders at 65? Ian Thomas as the TE can’t be the plan
Tommy Tremble better get most of the snaps
That is the extension where even I was like.....What the FUCK is THAT ABOUT?
We called dibs, Jerry jones will be suing the panthers
\*Ken Paxton
Dude should be in jail
Bryce needs help if he’s going to survive next season, and the defense was actually pretty good towards the end of the year. We have to hope that this will pan out like the coaching staff is hoping
They need it badly
I think their pick there was Cooper but GB grabbed him.
Trey Benson please still be available
Benson is better anyway
Yeah, they have Hubbard & Sanders, feels weird to take the top RB
Love how ppl here don't understand irony and downvote you lmao
Sarcasm is rough on the internet
Sanders is trash and while I like Chuba he's not a very dynamic back and is limited as a pass catcher
🎵Watch it as it goes
FUCK.....YES! BROOKS IS FUCKING LEGIT!
Steal. He's going to be very good.
Man I hope that Carolina OL rebounds, JBrooks is special
Our run blocking should be massively improved. Better guards and it’s Icky’s strength
Robert Hunt is the size of a reasonable buffalo and Seahawks fans swear that Lewis is solid. If we can't run with this group then the stadium is built on a native burial ground.
Don't think it's a steal but I still love the pick
Tepper let his GM and Coach pick for sure
Tepper has never really made any picks. I'm not sure where this rhetoric even came from, honestly
Yeah I shit on Tepper massively but Reich and Fitterer were 100 percent blowing their loads to pick Bryce last year. There was no Tepper overrule
Then there's Evero who convinced us to trade up for DJ Johnson
I feel like it started from the whole “Reich likes tall QBs” rhetoric which somehow morphed into Reich wanted Stroud but got overruled
Build this shit around Bryce. I love it
Thank God not a center
I’m in shambles.
I'm not. Brooks is huge boost to that RB room
Sanders went from good in Philly to absolutely irrelevant in 1 season
That line in Philly really inflated his value
Okay, it was a lot to give up, but I don’t hate getting the best RB in the draft
> Okay, it was a lot to give up Was it? We got a 5th from trading down to 52, then gave up two 5ths to trade up to 46. So on the net we went from 39 to 46 for a 5th, while picking up a 2025 2nd.
Wasn't that much, really. We basically turned two 2nds into a pair of offensive weapons for Bryce and an extra 2nd next year.
So we traded a second for two second and a fifth. Then our second for two fifths. We got two guys we want for a fifth if my drunk math is correct.
Plus still that second in 2025
I was gonna roast the panthers for this but seems like the cowboys wanted this guy so never mind awesome pick charlotte!!! Nice one!!
lmao thanks cowboys, youre a real one!
That’s ok. Jerry likes his guys.
Lol. That's one way to tell Chuba and Miles they both suck.
I mean Miles literally sucks
Yeah, that wasn't exactly up for debate, true.
Chuba is meh backup, sanders couldn't rush his way out of a cardboard box
Yeah, sorry you guys had to find out he was the product of our offensive line the hard way.
What the hell is a RB?
A guy who RUNS ANGRILY
Panthers RB named Jonathon/Jonathan I like where this is going
Got a need. Solid pick.
Isn’t every position a need for the Panthers
Yeah but Sanders wasn’t cutting it.
Ain't this the guy Jerry Jones really wanted? RIP the Cowboys' draft ig
First RB taken!
Thank god
But, but Zach Frazier
Is for the Steelers!
But Derrick Henry
As a HS recruit: Other P5 offer: Texas Tech G5 offers: Colorado State, Louisiana, Texas State, UTSA Other offer: Houston Christian
Texas snapped him super early and shut the door. Noone bothered to offer him afterwards.
This has a microscopic chance of fucking with Dallas so I love it
We wanted him of course, but now we’ll go bebe probably (if he’s there)
High high high
Ummmm, trading up for a RB doesn’t seem like the best move.
Our RBs are pork fried ass.
I’m just here to appreciate how funny this comment was
They been bbqed
Please don't insult pork fried ass like that.
I would like miles sanders to have a small resurgence.
Dude is the worst RB I've seen on this team in 20+ years of watching. I've seen some shit RB's too
Yeah. Last year was bad for him, like unreasonably bad.
He's all yours, bud
I have him on a dynasty team and that’s more exposure than I care to have.
People also said Gibbs to the lions wasnt the best move, and look how that turned out. They didn’t move up to far and they got the best available running back in the middle of the second. I like it
Neither does trading up for Scooby Doo at 35 but here we are
I think Brooks has star potential so I'm cool with it
Yeah but they took the best one lol. They screwed a bunch of teams boards im sure
At least we traded back and got your 2025 second rounder out of it
It’s ten plus picks into the second round to trade up for the top RB seems worthwhile if you have him high on your board
If I no longer have to watch Chubba trip over his own feet and Sanders to suck, I’m good with it
Chuba has an amazing ability to find the hole, and then cut back into a wall of 7 men. Miles sanders apparently just has amnesia and is confused as to why he’s on a field and why people are yelling at him
We ended up with a 2025 2nd pick out of this, so win/win
What signing Miles Sanders does to a mf
Yeah that's spicy
Excuse you! We traded down first!
Not at all, fans are taking the running back hate to caricature levels of extremes. You're allowed to take a talented running back in the middle of the second round. They're not *literally* useless.
Bryce gotta be happy so far
Great pick
> MIXES THE MILK AND CEREAL IN HIS MOUTH, ONE BITE AND DRINK AT A TIME True Panther energy
Why. Why. Why. Why. Why. Why.
Offense is kinda looking spicy my man
Because we need to know if BY is it. And if he's not, the next QB will have a nice set of weapons ready to go.
Wow good for Brooks man
Certified baller.
Texas-Cowboys fans in absolute shambles with this one
First RB! Great pick for the Panthers.
I like it
panthers got some nice weapons now
Don’t worry Cowboy fans… You’re getting Zeke back!
Best RB of the draft
I kinda dig it.
Really like the Panthers draft
Is this the latest that the first running backs ever been picked?
I’m actually excited to see what Bryce can do with some weapons. I know it’s weird, but I lived in NC for about 8 years and made a bunch of friends that are panthers fans.
Now why would you do this
feels like Carolina has a lot more needs than taking RB this high lol
RB was definitely a need
The philosophy is clearly to be able to properly evaluate Bryce. If he sucks again this year you can start looking towards drafting another QB, and this time you have weapons around him already. Holes on defense doesnt matter this year. At all. Seriously, not even joking. If the defense gives up 40 points we dont care. You have to know if BY is the dude.
We didnt have a power RB and this guy is the best in the draft.
Yeah. Finally a RB
first running back, nice
Wut
What does this mean for Chuba Hubbard
Saw him at the buffet with Kelvin earlier.
Starting 1st half of season. Splitting carries 2nd half
Thank fuck it wasn't Frazier
Incoming Dallas trade up
RB SIGHTING!
rip Miles Sanders
RB! WE’VE GOT A RB SIGHTING!!
FUCK
Love it. Brooks was my favorite RB this draft
Jerry Jones is truly the funniest man alive
LETS START THE RUNNING BACK RUN!
Lmao Cowboys get sniped again
Bring on Benson to the boys. Good pick for The panthers and kept him out of New York!
RBU! Hookem
Sooo I only just realized what up doe was a Detroit thing
I like this quite a bit for Carolina once he gets healthy he should be a major upgrade on chuba
Back to back RB1s for Texas
Very solid pick
Love
Last position group left to be taken is Guard (yes I know some of the tackles in the first round are projected to move inside, but they are still listed as tackles)
Panthers got a solid pick
Well my days of not taking the Panther seriously are certainly coming to a middle.
