Breaking! Panthers trading for CJ Henderson (1 Viewer)

[Krodwhodat]

I have to admit that Carolina is playing some impressive ball. I don't know if they are just super exceeding expectations due to a soft schedule and if Darnold will regress to his mean with time and without McCaffrey, but they are definitely building a culture there. And that's more than Detroit has managed over the last 20 years.

Think about the players we get from the Jets that become elite. Darnold has always had talent and potential, the Jets just bury it. I’d take any draft pick the Jets took in the top 3 rounds they don’t want….

ill admit i thoguht Matt rhule was going to be an NFL clown, but so far hes done a nice job. The panties are on the up swing and are a solid squad

So looks like Horn will be out for a while if not the season.
Moore got banged up and McCaffrey out for extended time (again).
I don't know if I'd be trading away Darnold's safety blanket.

Grrr. Not happy about them getting Henderson.

On the McCaffrey note I just saw this:

Panthers HC Matt Rhule backs Cam Erving's Christian McCaffrey statement

Settle down, peeps. As good as their star rusher is, the Carolina Panthers really are not the “Carolina Christian McCaffreys.”

I see zero wrong with this statement.

Good trade for Carolina. The compensation the Panthers are paying for Henderson--and paid for Darnold--was very reasonable. Given the compensation for Henderson, I am surprised the Saints could not get a deal done.

The Panthers obviously think they can contend this season, if they stay healthy going forward. The nest three games they play decent-to-good teams--Dallas, Philadelphia and Minnesota. We will get a better feel for them after the Minnesota game.

Also this puts an end to the “Sam Darnold completes to Dan Arnold” tongue twister so there’s that, too.

Buddy D. would have taken 30 seconds to get that right!

The Jags will have two ex-Saints at TE with Dan Arnold and Chris Manhertz

Championship!

 

[SystemShock]

Feel bad for Arnold. Charlotte to Jacksonville.... ugh!

Smart move and the compensation is very reasonable. It's still a bit early but Carolina is turning things around more quickly than I anticipated. With a 3-0 start, they aren't pulling any punches.

True, no one can argue with having a perfect record to start the season. They do deserve at least some credit for that. However I don't think a lot of experts are sold on Carolina as yet simply because of their opening schedule along with the issues the Saints had going into Game #2. Perhaps they are legit. But I ain't buying it just yet. Beating the Cowboys on the road this week (even with their extra rest days) might start making me believe that they are really on to something.

Are they really, though?

3 point win vs Jets.
Kicked our arse because we didn't have any coaches, and maybe just a big head after Green Bay.
And then beat Houston.

Not exactly like beating 3 top 10 teams. Lets see how good they are without CMac. Their last 4 games, they will go 0-4: Bills, Bucs X2, and Saints.

I know the Saints looked into him before Roby. Wonder what derailed that deal?

They traded for a pass-catching tight end. We have create-a-players from NFL 2K5 on offense.

The fact that the Panthers are exhibiting competent behavior doesn’t sit well with me.
Must foil their evil schemes.

Ian Thomas and Tommy tremble have gotten more snaps than Arnold the last two weeks....
